I'm trying to teach myself how to use FrontPage. Think I'm going OK in
design view but want to know how to write in html. Have got a book, but
they are just saying what the code is eg paragraph style html tags. But I
don't really get how to do it.
Can someone give me help - like type this to mean this...
Please I've been here for three days!
 
You could also just do simple things in Frontpage like add a table using the
menu, and type in the table and then look at the html view and see what the code
looks like. BTW, that is also where you type html code if you want to do it by
hand.

Saxman,
As a person who knew nothing about HTML at the beginning of this year, I
would agree that the cheat sheet you referred Angela to is quite good.

Angela,
One way that people have suggested to learn HTML is to use FP in design mode
to construct a page, and then switch to HTML mode to see what it has
generated. Try to understand what each tag is and what it does.

Another good reference, which should cover just about everything is
http://www.w3schools.com/default.asp
It is not quite in tutorial style but it is very comprehensive and there are
examples of code in it. The search facility is quite useful to help you find
what you want

This is an *excellent* way to learn HTML. I started out doing just that
(can't help opening software up to see how it works). Eventually I was able
to read various types of references and make sense of them. I can now read
RFCs when I have to!

or if she's using FP 2003...turn on Split view, i think it'd be great for
learning
