About views

In Microsoft FrontPage, there are several different ways for you to look at the content in your Web site to help you effectively design, publish, and manage it. You can work with your Web pages in any of the following views:

ShowPage view

You can choose from four different types of Page views, depending on your specific needs and how you want to view and work with your pages.

  • Design view   You can design and edit Web pages in the default Page view, Design view. This view provides you with an approximated WYSIWIG authoring experience, as you create your Web pages using the design tools.
  • Code view   You can view, write, and edit the HTML tags yourself. With the optimized code features in FrontPage, you can create clean HTML, and it is easier for you to remove any code that you do not want.
  • Split view   You can review and edit Web page content in a split screen format that offers you simultaneous access to both the Code and Design views.
  • Preview view   You can approximate how the page will look in the Web browser without having to save your page. Use this view to check small changes that you are unsure whether you want to commit to.

ShowFolders view

You can use Folders view to work with the files and folders directly, and to organize the contents of your Web site. Similar to Microsoft Windows Explorer, you can also create, delete, copy, and move folders in this view.

ShowRemote Web Site view

You can use Remote Web site view to publish an entire Web site or to selectively publish individual files. You can also synchronize files between two or more locations— that is, make sure sites with the same content are up-to-date with recent changes.

When you view folder contents in Remote Web site view, the files are marked with icons and descriptive text indicating the publish status, such as Don't Publish, Changed, Unchanged, New, and Conflict. You can filter the view to show the folder contents, files to publish, files not to publish, and files in conflict.

ShowReports view

Reports view allows you to analyze the contents of a Web site after running a report query. You can calculate the total size of the files in your site, show which files are not linked to other files, identify slow or outdated pages, group files by task or person they're assigned to, and more.

ShowNavigation view

Navigation view provides you with a hierarchical view of your Web pages. This view enables you to arrange the pages in your site by clicking on a page and moving it to a new location in the site.

ShowHyperlinks view

In FrontPage, Hyperlinks view shows the status of the hyperlinks in your Web site in a list. This list includes both internal and external hyperlinks, and uses icons to indicate whether the hyperlinks have been verified or are broken.

ShowTasks view

Tasks view displays all the tasks in your Web site in a column format and provides current information about each task under various headings.
