FrontPage 2003 includes tools and layout and graphics features to help you work faster and design professional Web sites.
• Work with graphics from other applications, giving you more control over how images are displayed and saved. • Use dynamic Web templates to modify entire sections of a Web site. By updating the master template, changes are automatically made to all pages linked to that template. • Target specific browser or screen resolutions by using browser and resolution reconciliation. See how your site will look in various combinations of browsers and resolutions. • Create and manipulate tables used for layout purposes, and provide pixel-precise control of your layout. • Use manipulation tools to more easily work with multiple images and pieces of content that sit in the same space, and to create visual effects, such as pop-up menus. Generate Code Faster and Easier
The design tools in Frontpage 2003 generate efficient and clean Hypertext Markup Language (HTML), and give you more control over the code. Or, you can apply your coding knowledge by taking advantage of the professional coding tools. With the scripting tools you can create an interactive experience for your audience.
