    Frickin' goddam piece of homo crap!!!

    I hate FrontPage....

    I'm specifically tailoring links to point to a relative path (as the final app is to be CD based) and this stupid piece of gay crap keeps automatically changing the links to full paths.... ****!!!

    I want a GUI - I've got 200+ pages to go through and do some simple **** to, and I don't want to be stuffing around typing all the crap out I have to do. I need a GUI for tables and stuff.

    I'm gonna have to use f****page and then just write a bit of quick code to go replace all the full paths to relative ones in VB. BLoody pain in the arse though...
    Why the **** do Microsoft make their software do stupid **** like this without providing the option of it NOT happening??

    I use it sometimes, partly because I know FrontPage for example is going to insert all sorts of bodgy crap in my HTML that I don't want, especially when I make a Netscape compatible page, but when I need to do quick edits to 200+ pages, that's definately not in my Top 10 ways to do this...

    I havent used Frontpage for a while now but I am pretty sure that u can set the links to be 'absolute' or 'relative'. I cant remember how but i am sure it is quite simple. Maybe look up those terms in the help file.

    I no longer use Frontpage and have gone geeky using Notepad. It is just as easy and far less frustrating.

    If you want to edit the text in VB I made a little proggie a while ago that did that job... i cant search for it cos the search thingy doesnt work but will try a look around to see if i can find it

    Frontpage is pure ****

    Frontpage Express however is actually quite useful. It keeps relative links relative and also anything it doesn't understand (e.g. javascript) it will leave well alone

    Dammit... if I use the file browser to create my link, rather than typing the path in... Frontpage automatically makes it a relative link... stupid piece of goddam.....

    That it may be, but this is for a work thing, so I think I'll steer clear for now.
