hi,
does anyone know how to stop Frontage adding these everytime I create a new page
<meta name="GENERATOR" content="Microsoft FrontPage 5.0">
<meta name="ProgId" content="FrontPage.Editor.Document">
I really don't want them in my website, I remember reading once that there was a trick to stop it but can't remember was it was.
p.s. before you say it, don't say don't use Frontpage, I know that all you geeks hate it, but it works for me for the most part!
thanks
I won't say it, but I'll be thinking it... :p
I believe there is a plugin to do this, did you try searching google? Ah yes, here it is, http://www.jimcoaddins.com/addins.aspx. Look for No FrontPage Meta on that page....

Don't get rid of those. You don't want people to think that you wrote mark up that abysmal yourself.

Ooooooooooo!!!!!!!! Now you've done it. Ok, I'll start...
FrontPage Lite comes for free with Windows, if I'm not mistaken. Or is it Office? I forget. Or I'm trying to block it out, not sure which.
There are numerous wysiwyg editors available for little or no money. I'm sure others in this forum will name names. HTML-kit is one that is suggested often. I use Dreamweaver. Yes, it's more money than FP, but you get what you pay for.

To my knowledge, HTML-Kit is not a wysiwyg editor. It is a text editor and probably the best free one out there.

I don't think that it is appropriate to compare free html editors with frontpage and try and make out they are equivalent.
Frontpage has some very sofisticated features not available in the freebies!!

It's a very sophisticated piece of dung. Or it's a sophisticated piece of software that can only produce pieces of dung.

I know what wind's up a html geek, just mention the word Frontpage, works everytime
Frontpage is like a ford, we can't all drive bmw's, the other freebies are like having a good bike

I did a course to learn web design, the course used FP :( I learnt to code by hand :)
I have come to learn that software is an individual thing just cos one person doesn't get along with it doesn't mean that next will too.
If you are comfortable with FP carry on using it. I now use Dreamweaver but thats cos I have become lazy

Could you please tell me what Frontpage does that a freebie editor, or a super cheap one doesn't do? I own DW 4 and yet it sits and collects dust for the most part while my $30 editor gets used every single day.
