Can a Dream Weaver website be edited with Frontpage 2003?

[Guest]

Can a site that was developed with Dream Weaver be edited and maintained
using Microsoft Frontpage 2003?

 

[E. T. Culling]

Sort of ... but I don't suggest it. Dreamweaver is a much more powerful
program and some of the things it can do won't necessarily work in
FrontPage. Few go from DW to FP, many go from FP to DW.

But assuming it isn't using anything too fancy and the original poster
doesn't own Dreamweaver, I'd say yes you can probably maintain the site
with FP.

 

[Andrew Murray]

Yes....

Can you give me an example of something you can do in Dreaamweaver that will
not work in FrontPage besides a library item?

I use both programs regularly and even use the same DWT in both programs on
occasion.

There are many web components in FrontPage that won't work in Dreamweaver
but other than library items I can't think of anything I can create in
Dreamweaver I can't use in FrontPage. If you stick with FTP and do not use
FPSE there really is no problem working in both programs on the same site.

I disagree. I use both on all of my Web sites.
