Couldn’t see a forum for frontpage, so maybe it’s ok here on the problem with software section ? On my pc, I just copy and paste text from notepad into frontpage and all is ok, I tried yesterday on a friends pc, and when copying text in the same way from their notepad into their frontapge, it created <br>'s in the code ? ? Any ideas what’s going on there at all please ?
Any help appreciated.
Dez.
Thanks Dan, not enough to convince me at the moment, but will bear it in mind for the future.
Just trying to explain why there’s no Frontpage forum around here. Microsoft’s successor to Frontpage, Expression Web, is really excellent.
Many thanks Dan, I fiully understand 
Whenever I’ve seen friends using Expression Web, I’ve not seen it do anything that FrontPage can’t, but am always willing to listen to new ideas
Along with syntax highlighting for multiple languages, running a live web server so you can see your dynamic code in action (not just static HTML) and other features… it builds and validates standards-compliant HTML and CSS. It’s a first class product now, both as a WYSIWYG editor for the less technical, and from a professional perspective… a worthy competitor for Dreamweaver.
I have had no problems with the program myself and know many other ‘professionals’ that use it as well.
Thanks for the constructive tip Dan, I’ll be seeing her later today and will see exactly how she was doing it.
Microsoft stopped making Frontpage 4 years ago, the last version is 7 years old, and even back then, was frowned upon in any kind of professional community like this. It generated horrible, illegible, browser-specific code that should never have been put on the web.
Maybe you were pasting into a WYSIWYG screen, then viewing the resulting HTML? Line breaks would be turned into <br> tags, that’s the nature of HTML.
All tools have their place, it’s the way they’re used that makes the difference, dude.
Get rid of the WYSIWYG editors and learn how to code properly in a text editor, dude.
The difference between FrontPage and other web editors is that FrontPage creates web pages designed specifically for IE6 while other editors create pages for more modern browsers. Microsoft abandoned FrontPage because fixing it to produce pages that would definitely work in modern browsers was too hard compared to starting over with a new editor. While many web pages created with FrontPage may work in modern browsers there are also many that will not.
Thanks Stephen, I’ll be bearing that in mind as well
If their using the code window, I could probably let that slide but if you see “professionals” using the WYSIWYG segment of FrontPage, it’s time to retract that title. Have you considered a free program like Notepad++? If you work in a code window, you don’t need the expensive WYSIWYG bloat attached to it. 
Time to move on from the FP bashing Alex - will look at Notepad++ - thanks for that.
