Description:
Although it doesn't tell how to prepare petits fours with FrontPage 2000 or how to use the Web-development environment to fight evil, How to Do Everything with FrontPage 2000 does a good job of explaining how to use the application to perform some rather clever feats of design and organization. Carefully structured and effectively illustrated, this book assumes neither too much nor too little about your background in the planning and constructing of sets of pages. Early chapters explain how to accomplish fundamental stuff, like adding to your pages dividing horizontal lines, while later chapters (which make up the bulk of the book) dig into FrontPage's more advanced features, such as form validation and site-traffic analysis. Sometimes the book falls into the trap of letting FrontPage's user interface dictate its structure, but it's quick to reveal normally obscure yet useful information; how to use e-mail to carry a Web form's contents--using the contents of one of the form's fields as the e-mail message's subject line--is one example of this. It also tends--unlike many similar books--to suggest the best way to do something, instead of merely listing all of the possibilities. It's a helpful approach. --David Wall Topics covered: - How to insert and style text and images
- Jazzing up your pages with tables, frames, forms, and Dynamic HTML (DHTML)
- The server-side capabilities of FrontPage 2000 via form handling, database connectivity, and usage reporting
