Frontpage 2003

[mdadams]

Does anyone know how accurate the "download time" on the task bar is in Microsoft frontpage 2003 ? It tells you how long it would typically take to download your page using different modem speeds...ie anything from 28.8 and up. For a person who uses a high speed modem what is the largest size their web pages should be? Same for a dialup modem?

you should keep your things under 15 seconds of loading, i usually leave if it takes more than 5 seconds to load because im on 750+ kb/second internet connection, so i dont wait very often

The FrontPage load time thing isn't really accurate I know on the 2003 as I tested it.

Just dont use frontpage

Dreamweaver is better

Although I hate to say this I prefer FrontPage as it is much simplier than Dreamweaver and easier to code.

Note that I don't I only use programs like that to highlight code and such, so the Word like editor of any program is useless. But I like FrontPage syntax highlighting more than Dreamweaver.

But Dreamweaver is nice.

Consider the download times a rough estimate based on math in a perfect world. Kind of like figuring a trip down the highway at speed limit. Traffic, stop signs, the vehicle, and luck will all effect the real speed on the road, and traffic, routers, computer hardware, and luck will do the same on the internet.

I use FrontPage as well. I know Dreamweaver is probably better, but I started using FP with the first version and have never felt like converting all my sites and going through the learning curve all over again. When I started using it, the best alternative was the Hotdog web editor which was just an HTML tag editor.

Exactly! Likewise, I love the simplicity of Microsoft Frontpage. :tu:

I got MS office 2003 pro and surprisingly didn't get frontpage. Fortunately, since I upgraded from 2000, I still have FP 2000. Anyone know if I can download it on office updates or anything?
