Why? - 3/13/2007 13:48:48
I am sure I will sound dense (Heck I do most every day so waht's new  )...
Why all the posts on Expressions doing FP tricks?
I thought Expressions was to "make the break away" so to say.
I am SURE I am missing something but help a brother out and let on...why? Why not just use FP if you want FP features (and save money buying something).
Thanks for your patience,
Brian

Your dead on JB. It is a step in the correct direction.

If there is one thing I will miss in EW it's the "insert include page" but that can be gotten around easily enough.
That's the funny thing about WYSIWYGs versus Hand coding (and I don't want to get into a row... again!) but inserting includes for me has always been the following:
1. Copy and paste the bit I want to include into a blank page and save it.
2. Delete the original if it's still in the page
3. add the include call.
It takes about 40 seconds.
You'll hardly even notice it's gone honest!

I'm not going to "jump" anyone. I don't recall ever doing that, but I will explain why there is a demand for the old FP stuff in EW.
I get people regularly coming to me who have upgraded to EW and gotten rid of FP. They have fairly large existing sites that are completely dependent upon the FP navigation component and themes.
The best answer is for them to overhaul their navigation. They don't have the time or money to take that project on, however.
They want to produce new projects with css and without the nav component and themes, but they want to maintain their existing projects as they are.
The logical answer to that would be to leave FP on the computer, and use that to manage the existing sites. That's fine as long as you still have FP on your computer or know where your disk is. Otherwise, it's helpful to use the FP components within EW.
Also, Sharepoint Designer is basically EW with the FP components still there. The main difference between the 2 products is that EW's menus don't give you access to that stuff. These tricks are basically a way to get EW to behave like Sharepoint designer for older FP-based sites.

They would still have the FP install CD so I do not see the issue keeping EW and FP on there. It makes sense. I do this myself (Plus other editors).
Guess I won't "get it"..sorry.
Anyway, it's a new day.
As always...take care,
Brian
