I have been trying to find how you insert the time and date on an EW site. In
Frontpage, it was under the insert menu, did they do away with this in EW?
Thanks in advance.
 
Thanks Ronx, that's what I was afraid of, I don't understand why MS removed
these and other features from FP, sure makes it unhandy since they did. Where
is the Expression Web newsgroup or forum, I don't see any listed here on MS
except Frontpage.
 
FYI, Expression Web is *not* a new version of Frontpage - it is a
completely new product therefore it doesn't have those features; it does
have limited backwards compatibility for support of existing webbot features
in a web created originally in Frontpage.

Also, if you need the time/date feature, you can open the web in FP and
insert it.

Opening the site in FP or EW is the same either way - a FP web can be opened
in Expression Web and vice versa.
 
As Andrew said, Expression Web is NOT FrontPage. If you want the
webbots then stick with FrontPage - it will be fully supported by
Microsoft until January 2009, and in the newsgroups until there is no
demand for support (FP98 is still supported).

Alternatively - use MS Office SharePoint Designer. Sharepoint designer
retains access to the webbots (at least in the current version), but
will diverge from Expression Web. SharePoint Designer is aimed at
building SharePoint websites that run mainly in Internet Explorer,
whereas Expression Web is aimed at Standards Compliant sites that run in
all browsers.
