I have just sat in the Apple Store London, so i can check my E-mails, There is a young lady telling us all about Apple’s iWeb, The Probkem with it? well it makes FrontPage look good, at least frontpage doesnt let you break all the sensable standards, well not quite as easaly,
For some reson it looks more like Publisher, than a web design tool…..
I have a few photos of the lass demonstrating it, it would be lovely if it was a DTP software, and not Web Authering Software,

Why shouldn’t a web authoring tool look like Publisher? What should a web authoring tool look like?
Without knowing anything about it, I’d be surprised if iWeb wasn’t somewhat standard-compliant, since Apple’s rendering engine (WebKit, based on KHTML) is supposed to be one of the better ones (WebKit/KHTML was the first engine to pass the ACID2 test, for example).
Frontpage, on the other hand, presumably uses MS’s diabolical Trident engine. And I’d be amazed if you can write completely standards-compliant (XHTML 1.0/1.1, CSS2, et al.) sites in FrontPage without going through them with a text editor and HTML Tidy afterwards.

well it may, or may not produce lovely code, but it alows you to do silly things with text and images, including adding 2.5 gig videos to web pages and Fat Boy Slim MP3’s to pages,

Hi, Did you know that the basic tool Texteditor, can be used as a basic DTP tool. If you remember (Skippy), I used a multitude of DTP programmes, one of the basic was Texteditor. I have however found limited DTP function on I-Web. You can use it as a basic DTP programme, but if you have I-work’s pages programme. And a limited requirement for multy scaled projects either can be used.
