opening a Publisher made web page in Front Page?

[Guest]

Can I open a Publisher made web page in Front Page?

Why does the same template look different in each program?

Publisher doesn't make web pages. It writes HT (the ML is missing because
what it writes cannot be called HTML!).

The answer, though, is yes. Be prepared for a train wreck, though....

No, you can't open a webpage created with publisher.

Most webpages will look the same in every program/browser if the page is
created with standard codes. However, as you may know, most webpage
creators including IE, Dreamweaver, etc etc have different standards and
so pages won't look the same with different web browsers. Also,
brwowsers interpret standard codes differently. You can google for
various html and CSS standards and they will tell you all browsers
aren't the same!. The trick is to use latest browser but most users
don't!

You can open them, but it will be pretty messy.

Publisher is NOT for websites, and it makes really crappy code

Now I'm confused. IE is not a webpage creator. Dreamweaver is. But HTML
is HTML and Standards are standard. So - whatchu mean? A page coded to
standards will look almost the same in all modern browsers.

I meant FP (not IE). Thanks for pointing out my error.

Standards are standards but IE, Mozilla, Netscape etc etc have their
"own" standards. Even CSS codes behave differently in different
browsers. It is to do with *pride* of each browsers. They have to be
different!

Actually, no. IE6 and below does, but Moz, etc. all render to the W3
standard, which IE7 does, too.

different!

That's nonsense. A page with a valid and complete doctype, and with valid
code for that doctype will render almost identically in all modern browsers.

Yes, actually you can.

It just has tons of crappy code that has to be cleaned up, even if saved as
an (fake) HTML file.
