This is a thorough introduction to the basic and advanced features of FrontPage 98, the newly upgraded Web-authoring package from Microsoft. The authors explain how to install and navigate the package; design and edit pages; create tables, frames, and lists; apply Themes and external and embedded style sheets; and add images, sound, animations, frames, and dynamic FrontPage components. You also learn how to create and edit forms; insert Java applets, Netscape Plug-ins, and ActiveX controls; generate JavaScript and VBScript; add Custom Themes; add new (post-4.0) HTML code manually, use the Microsoft and FrontPage Personal Web Servers; and design, test, publish, and administer your Web site. The book is divided into sections, each containing several chapters. A "Real-Life Examples" chapter at the end of each section features projects showing you how to apply what you've learned to your own Web site. Appendices include a FrontPage reference and list of shortcuts, an HTML reference guide, and more information on theme-related cascading style sheets. The CD-ROM has project files; Web programs, such as the Microsoft Internet Assistants, and HTML utilities; graphics programs, such as Paint Shop Pro; Perl 5; O'Reilly's WebSite server; and sample Java applets and JavaScript scripts.
