Dreamweaver AND FrontPage??

[beagle44]

Hi there

I manage the website and intranet at my workplace. We've got a mixture of html and asp pages, and there are about 17 content editors, all using FrontPage. There's a possibility that we'll get some Dreamweaver licences.


Can the two be used together? (It will be FrontPage 2003 vs Dreamweaver 8)


We would hopefully only use the two together for a short time as we're looking at getting Contribute for the editors.

Any advice appreciated! Apologies if a similar post already exists.

I'm slightly familiar with FP2003, but not DW, so take this with a grain of salt. If your folks are editing in "code view" mode, then I wouldn't suspect any issues. But if they're using WYSIWYG mode, I bet you're in big trouble if you expect one person using FP to be able to give the files to a person editing with DW. Two examples, off the top of my head. FP will do includes, with this "web-bot" client-side include mechanism. I'm not aware that it's any standard at all, just something in FP. If you edit this file with DW I doubt it knows that those includes are there. Another one - FP will do all sorts of things in JS behind the scenes to support field validation in forms. Again, I'm not sure if this will carry over to DW.
