Hover buttons not loading quickly & Java Security Warning
in [FrontPage]

From: Ronx on 8 Feb 2010 15:00 The best answer is to check it for yourself. A free 60 day trial of Expression Web can be obtained from http://www.microsoft.com/expression You should not have any problems - just make a backup, then open the site in Expression Web and start correcting the highlighted problems. -- Ron Symonds Microsoft MVP (Expression Web) http://www.rxs-enterprises.org/fp Reply only to group - emails will be deleted unread.

From: John Blaustein on 8 Feb 2010 16:01 Ron, Good idea... of course. I will install the free trial. It's nice they have a 60 day trial period. Let me ask you this: In terms of current standards, compatibility, latest technology, etc., is EW just as up to date as Dreamweaver? What I'm really asking is if I make the effort to switch from FP to another application, I want to be sure I'm learning one that is as current and up to date as possible. My sense is that EW will be more familiar and easier to learn than DW since I'm coming from FP. My needs are so simple -- see my site -- that I don't exactly need all the latest web tools, but I don't want to be stuck again like I am now with FP where I used one of its tools (hover buttons) only to discover they worked poorly. Thanks for any further thoughts.

From: Ronx on 8 Feb 2010 16:30 I have never used Dreamweaver, so cannot comment. Expression web is designed to produce standards compliant, cross browser, web sites. It is not perfect, but neither is Dreamweaver. The Expression product group is moving Expression Web away from FrontPage webbots (still supported in v3 to some extent) and dissolving ties with MS Office. EW supports PHP and asp.NET 3.5, and to that extent is as future proofed as you can get at the moment. EW does provide some features that are better ignored - such as Interactive Buttons inherited from FrontPage, but has lost FrontPage navigation, Java applets (hover buttons, banner ad manager etc.) - existing webbots in pages are supported, but adding new ones is not straightforward. As I said, the best way forward is to try it yourself. -- Ron Symonds Microsoft MVP (Expression Web) http://www.rxs-enterprises.org/fp Reply only to group - emails will be deleted unread.
