Browser and resolution reconciliation

Target specific browsers or resolutions, or see how your site will look in various combinations of browsers and resolutions— including simultaneous previewing of multiple browsers.

Accessibility checking

Use the Accessibility Checker to select the guidelines (including U.S. government Section 508 guidelines) you want to follow in your Web site. Suggestions to improve accessibility are shown in a list, and you can jump back and forth between that list and your site to address the issues.

Smart find and replace

FrontPage 2003 provides basic find and replace functionality, as well as a rules engine for HTML searches. You can quickly search and replace attributes or tags across your entire site or on specific pages. You can save your queries for later use and you can share them with other authors. This allows you to update your Web site quickly with great accuracy.

Edit text files

FrontPage 2003 allows you to edit file types other than HTML directly within FrontPage. You can open and edit text files, files that contain ECMAScript as defined by the specification of the European Computer Manufacturers Association— such as JScript or JavaScript— XML files, and XSLTs. Text files are formatted as plain text, while script files, XML files, and XSLT files are displayed with code formatting applied. In addition, when you edit XML and XSLT files, the XML View toolbar provides additional options for formatting your code.

Optimize HTML

You can generate clean HTML code in files and folders on either your local Web site or when you publish pages to your remote Web site. This means that you can reduce the size of a page by removing unnecessary formatting and tags. Web designers use white space to make HTML more attractive to view, but it is not required for the page to function correctly. You can remove empty tags, white space, redundant tags, unused and empty style definitions, and even certain tags that you specify.
