HTML Compression / shrinking tool needed - 3/28/2001 20:37:00   
Hi all,

As we all know Frontpage is nice and easy to use (well I think so) but it creates very bloated over sized code.

Is there a nice software tool to compress the html code to a better size?

Thanks.


Dale.

Hi Dale,

I don't know about a "tool" for this, maybe someone else will let you know. I just go to the HTML "view/tab". From there I look for redundant font statements. I also remove any white space to the left of the first charector (?). Example...
(On the example the tags are moved over 2-5 spaces from the left. Don't know why it will not show up that way here, sorry)
<tr>
<td></td>
</tr>
After I remove the "white space" it looks like this...

<tr>
<td></td>
</tr>

These two things alone will save you on file size which equates (partialy) to less bandwitdh for the same amount of traffic. There are a lot more things but it would take too long to go over. When I started I would make a change and then go to the HTML view and see what changed in the code. This really helped me to realize what was going on behind the scenes.

Hope that helps,

Brian
