FrontPage tags in the code

message from ArtWise04 on 16 Jul 2004
i made a site in frontpage and then moved to Dreamweaver which i think is the
best.
I imported it with an extension and now there are some tags in the code view
from frontpage.
Anyone who knows what i should do with it please write me on
ArtWise@Hotmail.com
Should i remove them or leave them alone?

Which tags? What code? Can you show me?

By the way, attachments are discouraged for this and other Macromedia
forums, and to make matters worse, they do not carry forward from the
webforums into the NNTP forums, which is where most of the people who post
answers are visiting. If you want to broadcast your code so that everyone
can see it, the only real way is a) to paste it into a reply (not great if
there is lots of code), or b) to upload it somewhere and post a URI to it.

Be aware that if you paste voluminous quantities of code into a reply, the
code may get truncated when transferring to the NNTP forum. This can be
quite confusing to both poster, and reader. The best bet would be to upload
the page and post a URI.

That's not how newsgroups work.

I guess my first suggestion would be to save a backup copy, then take the tags
out and see how it looks. FrontPage is a little strange. Microsoft puts a
whole lot of proprietary tags in their code, so it's not as neat as the stuff
that Dreamweaver generates.

Can you give an example of some of the tags?

I still use Frontpage 98 for some functions, so I know what you mean. FP code
is usually okay to leave, but there are webmasters who shutter when they see
it. I'm not so particular, but I do like code to be a clean as possible. So
save and experiment. It's a good chance to learn HTML.
