The Advantages of Using the FrontPage Server Extensions
The FrontPage Server Extensions make it easy for Web authors to include sophisticated
functionality in their Web sites and for Web administrators to support that functionality.
The server extensions:
Enable authors to collaborate on creating and maintaining a
, edit a Web site directly on the server computer (saving downloading time), and add
functions to their Web sites easily, without doing any programming.
Support hit counters, full-text searches, e-mail form-handling, and other functions that
an author can add to a Web site by using FrontPage. You don't have to download, buy, or
install a separate
-compatible program to enable each function to work.
Work on a number of popular server platforms, such as Windows NT and UNIX, as well as on
a number of popular Web servers, such as Microsoft Internet Information Services (IIS),
WebSite, and Netscape.
Automatically update hyperlinks after a page in a Web site is moved, deleted, or renamed
(only the page's file name, rather than the entire file, needs to be transmitted to the
Web server).
Support integration with Microsoft Office, Visual SourceSafe, and Index Server.
