FrontPage

• MUST READ: Great tips for using MS FrontPage and developing web pages: http://www.ycoln-resources.com/frontpage/

• List of FrontPage WebBot Components. Our Unix server does not have FP extensions installed; some of these components require the extensions, and so won't work on our server. Others only work in certain versions of certain browsers (e.g., the marquee only works in Internet Explorer) and so should not be used: http://www.msfrontpage.net/fp/webbotnotes.htm

• The default filename for each directory on our Unix server is index.html, while the default for FrontPage is index.htm; here's how to change from FP's default to ours: http://www.msfrontpage.net/fp/homepagename.htm
