You can leave your monitor at a larger setting, and create a bookmark in Firefox (I have mine near the top of the bookmark list): Name: Resize to 800 x 600 Location: javascript:top.resizeTo(808,608) (The extra 8 pixels account for the 4-pixel wide partial-screen window border that is not present in full-screen mode.) Then pull down your bookmark and click on that to get the needed size. Here's another handy bookmark for validating the page currently displayed: Name: Validate This Page In New Window Location: javascript:w=window.open(null,'Validator');setTimeout('w.focus()',0);void(w.location='http://validator.w3.org/check?uri='+escape(window.location));void%200 (Location is all one line). This works with Firefox on Windows XP - can't vouch for anything else. And I didn't create it (:D) - I got it off some other mailing list years ago. John

http://www.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~nma/sierra/tierra_blancacemetery.htm I bought Expressions Web 3 as an upgrade to FrontPage2007 with the goal of changing all of my code from html to xhtml and to change all of my tables so fire Fox could read them equally as well as a MS Broswer. I have been working months converting the web site. The more I use EW3 the more I dislike it and have gone back to FrontPage for most tasks except for making truly new pages. EW3 appears to make far more work than I can accomplish. The web page http://www.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~nma/sierra/tierra_blancacemetery.htm looks fine on both Fire Fox and MS I.E.8. But like on so many other pages, I have left in code errors, probably exceeding 10,000 errors in the web site. This page of current interest displays code errors from EW3's code checker. For Instance, it says "the center tag was not closed before this </boby> tag" And several "the center tag was not closed before this <tr> tag." as in this displayed code error: <td class="style8" style="width: 20%"><strong> </strong> </td></center> </tr> I leave these code errors in because I can not fix them. Is this program not suited to convert old html to xhtml and code so it is compliant for all browsers? (Note: Some Data in tables can not be read by Fire Fix Browsers because FrontPage includes a code that tells browsers to ignore the text if it is not formatted. If the table it uses the default FrontPage format, then FireFox can not read it. The solution is to get rid of Themes. Which I have done completely for all pages. Since I got rid of FP Themes, Fire Fox users report they can read all of the data. So I am not dreaming and that is also what a programmer told me to do. That just leaves a few other code errors that must be fixed like justifying all cells LEFT so all browsers read the data the same.) I hope this does not sound like gibberish. I know what I know, but do not know how to say it clearly. Charles

Charles, EW will create standards compliant code. It will not automagically clean up crappy code. That takes work on your part. I suggest that you check out the resources listed here http://www.expression-web-tutorials.com/expression-web-newbies.html Make sure you take advantage of the free ebooks offered by Tina Clarke especially the one on setting up Expression Web. And this http://www.expression-web-tutorials.com/style1-created.html Example: http://css-layouts.org/charles/ very little work to clean it up BUT not time to add the styling as yet. Take the time to learn the program and it will server you well. Will add some styling later if I have some time.

Well with a subject line like that ;) I think you know what I am going to say... really its a matter of knowing what buttons to press.. almost anything you want to do in the program .. it will do... you just have to know what to press. Its like a car, the nut behind the wheel does the driving makes the decisions... the car can only tell you whats happening when you do something like putting the window wipers on .. the window wipers turn on ... indicate left .. the indicator blinks for left... etc etc etc... same with ew.... its telling you what is wrong you have to do something .... Firstly set up expression web (thats like adjusting your car seat for your six foot frame) Setting up Expression Web Ebook ( Fr*ee ) http://any-expression.com/expression-web/ebooks/setting-up-expression-web-ebook.htm Next ... if you are not using a dwt I would do so ... but if not something for the future ..this ebook covers everything about dwts (dynamic web templates) (in place of themes - dwts are NOT themes - but ,you get the idea its a global feature) as well as many insights into how to work and make a site. Expression Web Dynamic Web Templates Ebook ( Fr*ee ) http://any-expression.com/expression-web/ebooks/expression-web-dwt-ebook.htm when you have set up ew ... you should go to code view and right click ... to change html to xhtml rules click Apply xhtml formatting rules .. and its all done in one click ... you have to do that on each page there is no global feature for that.... you should also use the next two selections after that on the right click ..... only AFTER setting up ew .. those settings are partly to do with those three selections.. turn off the formatting and common toolbars so you wont be tempted to use them like you used to do in fp work in split view all the time so you without realising it learn more coding skills.... your eyes see the wysiwy get design view and the code view and you just learn ... learn to use css properties to apply your styles join pats expression web genealogy list http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~gearyfamily/expression-web/ Pat and I have a ebook for migrating ... and we are doing a giveaway right now btw. use ew in this way and you will learn very fast. I wish i had had it when i was new to coding. hope this helps Tina http://www.expression-web.net - Expression Blog http://any-expression.com/ - Expression Web Help http://frontpage-to-expression.com/ - Migrating from FrontPage to Expression Web twitter.com/ @tinaclarke @expressionweb
