Question

Can I use your software with FrontPage, DreamWeaver, Homesite or other visual editors?

Answer

Yes and no...

The software is designed so that the "look and feel" can be entirely configured from the HTML template skin. These skins are standard HTML documents and can be edited in any visual editor.

The other ASP pages which comprise the software do contain HTML code, but also contain much VBscript and other code. Almost all visual editors are designed solely to edit HTML and will try to rewrite the VBscript to comply with HTML standards. This will completely garble the code. For this reason .asp files should almost always be edited in a text editor and not a visual HTML editor.
