FrontPage on VPC sucks, any way to run it over a network off of a PC?
Is there fairly simple way to run frontpage off of a PC at my house over my LAN on my mac?
I was thinking maybe remote desktop but I am not familiar with the Mac enough to know if there is such a thing or if anyone has already done it. Besides, if it were popular I would have probably dug up something in the search but you don't know until you ask.

Why don't you get a webpage editor that doesn't generate all of the incompatibilities produced by FrontPage?
The website for work has to be able to edited on a Windows machine.

This isn't meant to be arrogant, but people who do this sort of thing for a living have told me that FrontPage is a last resort only for them, that it's not very good insofar as producing code that renders consistently on different browsers, or even produces standard HTML language.
I am going to give GoLive a shot. Maybe it will do because I am not doing anything special with my site now.

I would like to be able to stream QT video from it one day but I guess that can wait.

Maybe give Macromedia's Contribute a try. I believe that its main selling point is that you use templates and can add/remove and alter the content at will, something along the lines of the dynamic HTML description you made WRT FrontPage. The idea is that a non-coder type can drop their own content onto the app and upload a webpage with minimal upkeep and alteration to the layout.
and CSSEdit for CSS.
I do all my webdeveloping on my powerbook..no need for windows for that.
I have to say that Frontpage is a bit easier than Dreamweaver but becuase of its compatibility issues Dreamweaver wins by far.
I was disappointed by GoLive considering how awesome Photoshop is. GoLive makes really complicated code (weird tags too). It also has some weird way of doing rollovers that are not as compatible as DW's. It is also complicated at times

Er, since any *decent* HTML Editor will produce *gasp* HTML... any editor on each machine should work. It's only if you're dealing with braindead editors that you need to start worrying about vendor lock-in. *cough*MS*cough*

Dreamweaver is far from perfect but it is the best out there for WYSIWYG. It is also good for just editing the code but i have been told that BBedit is better for that.

I started with BBEdit as a code-editor..but i changed to Dreamweaver for its better php-syntax highlighting...
I don't use the WYSIWYG thing..i tried once and it gave me a headache
Then WYSIWYG flew off the tracks...

Thank you! That works absolutely perfect and is very quick.
I will try and run autocad 2005 LT this way and do a comparison with VPC.
