Dreamweaver VS FrontPage - 4/16/2003 15:33:45   
I currently have both Dreamweaver and Front Page, however I only use Front Page. Thats why I' m at this forum. I assume that all of you use FP too, duh. Has anyone had any experience with Dreamweaver? What are the main differences and your opinion on it? Thanks.

-Steven

Hi Steven,

Just go to " Search" up top and do a search for Dreamweaver. I think you' ll find that there are many here who use it and it' s been the topic of many a discussion.:)

I DreamweaverMX about 80% of the time now. I love the split screen where I can see my code and my page at the same time.

I use both FP2000 and Dreamweaver MX. I like the FTP utility in Dreamweaver a lot. The ability to selectively pull down or put a file is powerful. The chice of split screen or wysiwyg or all code is a great feature too. However I give it failing marks when displaying ASP pages that have include files. Sometimes I don' t get anything but the includes and can' t work on the content except for in the code. That' s a drag.

One other good thing about the latest version of Dreamweaver is it' s PHP compatibility. FrontPage at times corrupts PHP code. I' ve seen add-ins, such as PHP Rocket for FrontPage, but I' ve never used it. Until I got Dreamweaver, I had to use an editor called PHP Edit, which made the design aspect a little more time consuming.

I use both... different tools for different tasks. Frontpage does some things better than DW and so it is with DW. I usually use DW though.

For MX users: If you write WSH files be careful... MX will overwrite parts of your code. I found this out the painful way. There may be a check box similar to FP that I should have looked for, but it cost my former employer $$ so we went immediately back to Homesite.
