There are some new and innovative “things” for those who use HTML code a lot – Code Snippets and IntelliSense.  These two features allow you to “collect pieces” of HTML code, which you use a lot in creating your web pages.  Once these “HTML snippets” are collected, you can insert them at any time.  To use Code Snippets, click-on View in the Menu Bar and then click-on Page Options. 

 

 

 

When the Page Options menu screen appears, click-on the Code Snippets tab (see image and arrow to the right).

 

You can highlight your favorite HTML code and add it to the Code Snippets list by using the Add button at the bottom of the menu.

 

 

IntelliSense is like the Auto Correct feature in Microsoft Word.  The Help screen for IntelliSense is shown at the right. 

 

By entering IntelliSense in the Microsoft FrontPage 2003 Help search, you will get a long list of ideas on how to use IntelliSense to complete HTML coding tasks that you use everyday.

 

 

 

Enhanced Table Features

 

When you use tables in FrontPage 2003 you will have a number of new and helpful features at your disposal. 

 

To get an idea of these features, place your cursor somewhere in the design area of you web page and click the left mouse button.  You will see a flashing mark – this is where a table would begin.

 

Then click-on Table in the Menu Bar and then click-on Layout Tables and Cells.

 

 

 

The Layout Tables and Cells Task Pane (that you see at the right) will appear.

 

Notice, all of the options in the Task Pane, are to assist you in designing a table.  Everything is in “one place.”

 

Especially notice the “custom designed” tables in Table layout at the bottom of the Task Pane.  Use the elevator bar on the right side of Table layout to see all of the custom tables that you can add to your web page.

 

Awesome!  We would recommend that you only work with tables when you are familiar with them and FrontPage 2003.
