Jim Cheshire \(JIMCO\) said:My Web site is very busy and when I update it, the app domain will recycle
and some people may see this happen. You probably caught me during an update
while the app domain was recycling. Had you retried the request, it would
have worked, and you almost certainly would not be able to reproduce this.
I'm actually in the process of writing code that will allow me to update the
content without republishing so that it won't ever happen. In any case,
this isn't amateurish as you claim. Had you seen a nasty error message,
THAT would have been amateurish!
The point is that FP is a slow and cumbersome way to update a site. Using
a halfway decent FTP programme there is next to no chance of any
interruption for users of the site. With any reasonable volume of traffic
that can make a big difference.
FP is convenient for the site owner, and that's fine for hobby sites.
However it's not designed for the convenience for site users, and that's a
problem with a commercial site.

Whatever you say, but I just went to the URI above and got the same error
message as Toby. Your updates certainly last a long time. Almost 12hrs
or so.
But I do, lots of them. Numerous javascript errors which I get all over
the site. Most likely because FP designs for IE only and doesn't consider
the standards of other browsers.

I think you're speaking out of ignorance. The issue that I am describing
here has nothing whatsoever to do with FrontPage. It is an ASP.NET issue.
Updating a static HTML page with FrontPage or using any other method will
have no ill effect on anything.
I think we're getting these ill-informed remarks likely from the webmaster
group that is copied on this thread. These posts have been enlightening
because they have demonstrated two things; just how ignorant most
"webmasters" really are and also the misinformation that most folks use to
try and discredit software that they don't understand.

No you didn't. I log every single error and there haven't been any today.
I suspect that you were seeing what's in cache or that you are not being
truthful.
I have not a lick of JavaScript on my site that was generated by FrontPage.
The only script that is "all over the site" is the menu script, and it is
cross-browser compatible and has been tested in all major browsers.
Your statements only serve to reveal your ignorance. You have answered my
previous question. You are one of those Internet snobs who believes that he
is so much more enlightened than anyone who uses FrontPage.
Take all kinds.

"Other" browsers have their own problems. Despite the hype, Firefox still
has a lot of bugs, even with good code. 1.01 supposedly fixes some, but have
not tried it.
That said, FP has it's place. If you are a full time web guru and are
familiar with css, xhtml, javascript, etc etc then it is not for you. Not
all of us have the time to spend to learn and to code all that might be
required for a really "professional" website.
The main purpose of our website is to sell things. There are around 5000
products, many (probably most) which require some or a lot of technical
specs and text information. Not to mention the constantly (especially at
years' beginning) changing prices, availability, graphics, model
changes/add/deletions etc. Just taking care of that involves a lot of time -
probably 75% of a day's work. FP allows me to make changes fast and easily.
Eventually, when all the scut work is done, then I may have time to go back
and pretty it up and learn css beyond a few basic tools. Then maybe I will
become a web guru and laugh at people that use FP. But that time is not now.

I'm afraid I have to disagree. FrontPage is a set of productivity tools.
Plenty of "full time web gurus" use it. No, they don't use all the stuff
that beginners use, but they use the other tools. For example, I do ASP.Net
applications with Visual Studio, which has a really lousy HTML editor. When
I need some HTML, I open FrontPage and compose it, then paste it into my
ASP.Net app. While I could certainly hand-write the HTML, it would take
longer. And time is money. In fact, the more of a "full time web guru" you
are, the more that time is money.
