I was always told Dreamweaver was the better program but since all I used front page for was as a handy checker when I entered code I was not really worried.
However I want to make a page with auto changing images and text changing to match. With Front page I added javascript and I got auto changing images http://www.ericmark.talktalk.net/cng1.html but to match the text the only way was to make a picture containing the text. Not really ideal.
I have found many programs to auto-write javascript but they stipulate where the images should be and in some cases what they are called. However with just 15Mb of space I can't really store pictures in my web space. I have used a number of sites which allow one to store images.
As a result all the auto programs tend to fail. Many years ago I got a copy of Dreamweaver MX so thought I would try it. At first it seemed great the coloured text was much easier to follow.
However once I tried to use it I was quickly lost and it refused point blank to even register many of the Front Page web pages and completely stalled. I had to do a hard reset on PC could not even close the program using control Alt and delete.
It seems I am going backwards not forwards and as to understanding javascript I am still in the clouds. I am told the whole idea of Java is to copy and paste chunks of code but although I have books on Java I don't have any books on Java script.
So pointers please. I realise no one is going to tell me exactly how to do it but google has not helped. I know with electrics we have a wiki section is there something similar for Java?
