I realize that front page extensions do not work with Aprelium. So that many of the funtions of front page do not work correctly (forms) if at all.

However I have found a html to asp converter, and would like to know that if I were to convert my pages that I have created in frontpage to asp, would things like feed back forms then work in Aprelium?

I'm totally new to servers and web page development and am totally lost when it comes to using programs such as dreamweaver, so I would like to stick with frontpage for now. If I can.

Im not sure if you can convert front page to asp but maybe someone else knows. If worst comes to worst, try it out. If not you may have to learn php, or asp to suit your needs.

ASP is not a good choice - the only native ASP processor is found in Microsoft IIS. If you want to use ASP with Abyss, you need to use another program called ActiveHTML to interpret the pages for you. ActiveHTML isn't free, although the trial version can be used for extended periods of time with a little tweaking. It also is not a direct substitute for Microsoft ASP - some functions are not supported/function differently etc.

You would be a lot better off taking a step off the deep end and learning to code (or implement other freely available code) to replace the Frontpage functions causing you problems in a freely available language like PHP. If you look at a website like Hotscripts.com you'll find pretty much anything you might be using in Frontpage but available as a free to use script instead...

Yes, understand your point about learning to code. And I would like to, I was just looking for a way to get a site up right away while I learn. Now if I understand correctely, I can use these scripts you've mentioned in an editer to add my content like I would use a template in frontpage? Is this correct.
