In my experience, Front Page inputs a LOT of useless JUNK and sometimes pages don't even properly function in other browsers, such as FireFox.

Jen, in your page maker, make sure you save your progress and don't hit the back button. If you save, you can always go back and make changes later on.

But I learned some really cool layout formats that way.

But some are like me and have (but not put up) code that keeps you from seeing my source code or right clicking any of my images. :D:D

Ain't I a stinker

Thats very easy to get around :D:D You have to remember that unless you have a very secure sight, anyone can see your source code. I also know that you can disable the disable right click by entering something into the address bar.... I use to do that sorta thing when I was a younger nerdier version of myself. >.<

I used CSS with DW for the last site I ran, but it's not neccesary for the one I'm working on now, unless I decide to completely change the layout. But I like the simplicity of it now. That's what I love about DW. It can be used so many different ways. I love the split screen.

Well, if you wanted to go and put in the if_right whatnot, i could give you your source code, copy your images and anything else I wanted.

Crap. It's all crap Ed. There is no script and no way to "hide" your source code. Put that code up and give me 5 minutes to steal all of your images and your code ;)

There's really no reason to hide your source code. There are some places that will encrypt it...but it's just as easy to decrypt it too.

True, those codes are pretty useless against most of the people who are trying to see your source code or steal your images.

Yup... its really not worth it unless you really have something invested in your website.
