| What's new in FrontPage
2000? |
FrontPage 2000 is
a substantial upgrade offering an essential new interface
several new features and significant enhancement to existing
features. FrontPage has been tied directly into Microsoft
Office 2000, resulting in not only a consistent interface,
but also several new collaborative applications.
|
The FrontPage Editor
|
FrontPage Editor,
the design staple of past editions, no longer exists
as a seprate program. Instead, FrontPage Editor
has become the Page view in the single program now
called FrontPage. |
|
Cascading Style Sheet (CSS)
|
Cascading Style
Sheet (CSS) support has been improved, as has support
for Dynamic HTML. You can now easily create special
effects using the DHTML Toolbar Including DHTML
events for mouse clicking or double-clicking mouse-overs
and page loads. |
|
New Improved Themes
|
The FrontPage
2000 includes sixty themes and you can assign them
to individual pages or the entire web. Furthermore
you can edit the components in all themes to your
wish or create new once. In the previous FrontPage
version you could edit and create themes through
a special program available with the Software Development
Kit (SDK) but this feature has been incorporated
into the Theme dialog of the main program. |

Pixcel-Precise Positioning and
Layering
|
The Positioning
of specific element of a document is much more precise
in FrontPage 2000. You can place elements exactly
where you want on the page using a new feature called
Pixcel-Precise positioning and layering. Floating
positiong lets you position elements so that text
and other elements can flow around it while, Z-Positioning
lets you layer elements on top of each other. This
feature comes from CSS 2.0 (Cascading Style Sheet
Version 2.0) specification and only for users who
have a CSS 2.0 capable browser. |
| The
HTML View |
FrontPage 2000
offers an HTML view available with a single click
that gives you an easily readable and entirely editable
look at the code itself. You can edit HTML, ASP,
DHTML and even XML code in this view. You can also
specify in this view how you want the code to appear.
It is also useful feature for troubleshooting. |
| The
Microsoft Script Editor |
FrontPage 2000
allows you to be much more closer to the raw HTML
than ever before. Related to this idea the inclusion
of Microsoft Script Editor a powerful tool that
lets you edit JavaScript and VBScript for inclusion
in your document. |
| The
Database Result Wizard |
Database integration
has also been improved in FrontPage with some new
features. The Database Result Wizard is easier to
use than database wizard of the earlier version.
It is now a five-step dialog box with several sub-dialog
boxes available for advance features. |
| The
Microsoft Chart Wizard |
Office spreadsheet
can be inserted directly into a Web page as well
as an office pivot table or chart. The Properties
dialog box lets you configure the component precisely.
The Microsoft Office Chart Wizard appears in the
case of inserting a chart component and it guides
you through the selection of data to include in
the chart. |
|
Site management remains the package's central
focus. Important addition to the FrontPage 2000 package is
a set of collaboration features that allow multiple users
to work effectively on the same site. FrontPage 2000 is designed
as a multi-author environment in fact and enables multiple
users to work on the site at the same time. Another collaboration
feature is the workflow report allowing you to assign individual
pages in the Web to specific members of the design team.
"WYSIWYG" is the abbreviation
for "What-you-see-is-what-you-get". Pronounced wizzy-wig.
FrontPage 2000 is a "WYSIWYG" web Editor. In a WYSIWYG
software application, what you see on screen while designing
the page is good indication of what you will get as an output
on the web.
