I'm an extreme NOOB with ASP so please forgive me in advance for these questions.
I've read thru these and other forums searching for software, similar to FrontPage, that will allow me to edit page form, style, color.. etc. Does such an animal exist?
I can understand editing the scripts in a text editors but for layout and design is there any software out there for us Noobs to consider.
I have FP2003. No way that can be used for asp pages is tehre?
Thanks in advance |

FP2003 can be used as long as you're careful enough to use it in manner that does not insert undesired changes to the pages. I'm not that much experienced with FP 2003 (seldom use it), but it seems that it can be used without issues to edit individual pages. To use to create a whole site, I guess that never raised a problem.
If you will use for Snitz, don't let it handle your database connection. |

Undesired changes to the pages? Can anyone be more specific on what NOT to fool with in FP? Also, I can't open a asp page in FP. I can cut and paste the asp into FP but that saves the page as a htm page. Does the asp beiing embedded into a htm page cause any issues 
Anyone know of any links on using FP with asp content |

| The first versions of Frontpage made changes to source code you entered. That stopped at least a couple versions ago. I use Frontpage 2003 on one of my websites just because I'm having to always do updates and it makes it easy for quick updating. I haven't had a problem loading any ASP files in Frontpage; I just double-click on the ASP file. Usually it will default to the Code tab at the bottom of the screen which is where you'll probably want to be to edit your ASP anyways. Are you getting some error when trying to open an ASP file? |

I can get the asp pages to come up in FP2003 but can only view the code. Is there a way to see the asp pages under design or preview without converting the asp page it to htm/html?
Mainly what I'm asking is can you work with the graphics end of the pages and see what you're doing at the same time? |

It is not possible as I, a beginner in this field, understand it. The ASP-code has to be processed in a server wich returns pure HTML to your browser (client machine). I have solved that pb with running the site in my pc working as local server using IIS. I edit the files, save and refresh the page in my browser and sometimes the result even is what I expected. I suppose this is the way most real developers also do with the exception that they get what they want much faster then I do.
It would be interesting to hear if there is any other way, althoug this way is very much like working in FP with only html and moving between the tabs. |
