FrontPage is a powerful web site building tool. You don't need to be on an IIS server to use FrontPage, however, some of the cool functions will not work on Unix servers. If you are on an IIS server, you don't have to worry about special scripts for your forms as FrontPage uses what are called bots and you can set the properties of these bots to make them suite your needs. Form bots are not the only bots in FrontPage, there are many that add interesting options for your web site. You also have the option to use what are called borders.
Borders can be the top, bottom, left, and right side of an html document.
These borders are similar to the Unix version of server side includes. What this means is that if you would like the same type of information on all of your pages in a web site, or even just the pages you choose you only have to enter that information once and then set the properties for each page you want that information on as you create them. You simply answer a few questions and FrontPage will create your personal message board for you. Of course, this option will only work on an IIS server.
