LESSON 6: COMPONENTS OF FRONT PAGE

FrontPage Version 1.1, by Microsoft, is a suite of three sets of tools that help you to develop and administer local and remote Web sites. The three components of FrontPage are the FrontPage Client, the Personal Web Server, and a set of utilities. FrontPage Client consists of FrontPage Explorer, FrontPage Editor, FrontPage Wizards, and the To Do List. The Personal Web Server is a 32-bit pc-based Web server running under Windows 95 or Windows NT that supports the HTTP (Hypertext Transfer Protocol) and CGI (Common Gateway Interface) standards. The final component of FrontPage is a set of utilities; FrontPage TCP/IP verifies the TCP/IP configuration of a pc hosting a Personal Web Server, and FrontPage Server Administrator handles server administration tasks.

Although FrontPage is marketed as a package that enables non-programmers to develop professional-quality Web sites, FrontPage is useful as a productivity and development tool for professionals as well. You can make the most of FrontPage by using it with the family of Internet Assistants available for Microsoft Office applications. You also can extend FrontPage's functionality by using the FrontPage Software Developer's Kit (SDK) to develop templates, wizards, and custom CGI scripts.

FrontPage Client

FrontPage Client is the set of productivity tools that are part of FrontPage. These tools include FrontPage Explorer for Web site administration, FrontPage Editor for creating and modifying Web pages, the To Do List for managing the tasks involved in Web creation and maintenance, and FrontPage Wizards for the development of Webs, Web pages, and pages utilizing forms or frames.

Front Page Explorer

FrontPage Explorer is a tool used to view and administer a Web site. Information on the Web site is presented in both hierarchical and graphical forms. The visual interface provided by FrontPage Explorer is extremely useful in helping the developer understand how the Web components are associated and linked. Icons indicate the type of Web element and whether a problem, such as a broken link, exists. The application is closely integrated with FrontPage Editor and helps you to create links and relocate files between directories while dynamically modifying all links for pages effected. You can quickly create Web sites by using the wizards and templates that FrontPage Explorer provides.

Web Display

Figure 11.1

With FrontPage Explorer, you can display link, outline, and summary views of a Web site (see Figure 11.1). All files, documents, and links are displayed in the Web view. The usual configuration, selected in the View menu, is a side-by-side display of the outline view and the link view. Double-clicking an icon opens that HTML component in FrontPage Editor. You can direct FrontPage to recalculate all Web links and to refresh the display lists by using the Tools | Recalculate Links command

Web Creation and Manipulation

Figure 11.2

Figure 11.3

You can create new Webs or add elements to the current Web by using available wizards and templates. The Corporate Presence Wizard (see Figure 11.2 and Figure 11.3) and the Discussion Web Wizard are included in FrontPage. FrontPage also includes five templates: Normal Web, Empty Web, Customer Support Web, Personal Web, and Project Web. You can develop other Web wizards and templates using the FrontPage Software Developer's Kit. These wizards are selected when a new Web is created. Each wizard takes the user through a series of questions that establish the Web content.

Suremoneyng Investment Review: Legit or Scam

What is Suremoneyng Investment? Suremoneyng Investment is a funding network, can also be called a Ponzi Scheme because of its operation, However Suremoneyng investment platform promises investors 100% profit on their investment. The first investment gets this 100% after 5 days. What’s more is that Suremoneyng investment allows users to withdraw only the profit amount and then capital when you cycle out. However, there is something I want you to know that majority of the people don’t realize. Suremoney says you get 100% profit on your first investment, but I say no. This is because the system does not allow you to withdraw both your capital and profit at once, when  due until you reinvest. Now, your investment can be anything from N5,000 to N50,000. You are also not allowed to make re-commitments lower than what you invested before. That is, if you invest 10,000 at start, the least amount of re-commitment is 10,000. But you are free to increase your investment. HOW DOES SUREMONEYNG ...

Dreams And Goals

A dream  or vision chart is a picture you can create using newspaper or magazine clippings that represent your dream, such as quotes or pictures and paste them onto a board. In this post I show you how to create your very own dream or vision chart.   Dreams V’s Goals   Dreams differ from goals in that your Dreams are your big goals. For example retire at 40, travel the world.  These are your dreams. How you get there are your smaller goals. Obviously only you can decide what you want your Dreams to be, but here we look at how you can make them real. How you can make them real is by using a technique called visualisation. This is where you ‘see’ your Dreams through pictures and words – it’s about making your dreams ‘real’ by grouping together pictures of the things that represent your dreams to you. Let me demonstrate this for you. Say you want to buy a new car. Let’s say it’s a BMW. Suddenly, every car you see on the road is a BMW.   Funny thing is, yo...
