in next months issue?*******
SITE
MANAGEMENT
The March 2001 issue will be all about Site Management using FrontPage.
<<<*******>>>
NOTE: I receive my MS FP
Bulletin one month late, now I have found
the
http://microsoftfrontpage.com/ site, I
will be able to post the bulletins sooner.
However please note the bulletins one
receives via subscription at MS are not the
same format as the site bulletins and that
the msfp site also contains other
information. There is one other important
point to note and that is the archives at
microsoftfrontpage.com do not as far as back
as these, so if you want to look back this
is the place to do it! You can also obtain
the bulletins as
FREE E-books with your membership
of AnyFrontPage Bytes.

SPECIFYING A
SERIES OF FONTS IN THE FONT TAG
This article describes how to specify a series of fonts by
using the Font list in FrontPage or modifying the FONT tag directly. When you
specify a series of fonts, the Web browser attempts to display the text in the
first font in the series. If this font is not installed on the computer that you
are using to view the page, the browser displays the text by using the next font
in the series and so on. Find out more at:

USING ASP TO
MAKE DHTML-ENABLED TABLES
Microsoft Active Server Pages (ASP) can be used to display
information from a database on a Web page. Dynamic HTML (DHTML) can then be used
to reflect any edits of the information in the browser by immediately changing
how the edits are displayed. Here's how:

QUICK TIPS
You can use background sound to
play a sound when a visitor opens one of your Web pages. It's a good idea to set
the sound to loop only once because this method does not allow your visitor to
turn it off. Find out more at:
