What do you use to make comments in your HTML code?
Sorry that I'm a newbeee!

No need to apologise, we were all newbies once. I would suggest however
that you use Google for simple questions like this, as you are likely to
get an answer quicker and you'll feel better for finding out for yourself,
just try a search like "HTML comments" and you're bound to find the answer

Thanks all of you!
I'm C++ programmer but never messed with html until starting to look at
FrontPage.
Thanks again.

Here's a tip for you then As a C++ programmer you would know that you
can't trust a WYSIWYG program to create code for you, and MS FrontPage is
no exception! If you are seriously wanting to learn HTML, then consider
dropping the WYSIWYG and use a simple text editor, even Notepad will so

I certainly believe you, however, I don't want to learn html.
I simply had no choice but to do a simple edit on a FrontPage web and wanted
to comment the simple function that I added.

Thanks!

No one builds a GUI application in C without using a WYSIWYG generated
code. Visual Studio, Borland C, even GNU create code for you when
building an application. And thank god they do. Who wants to write all
the BS common code to handle a button event? I will tell it what to do
when the event happens, but I dont want to deal with the code that
triggers the actual event (Message maps etc...) The GUI stepping in
adding common code has been a godsend to application developers.

Well up to date developer that is. You can still use Notepad you write
all your C application, and debug with printf's if you like. But no one
will hire you.

You're just talking crap about stuff you know nothing about Whitecrest.

Most GUI applications for Unix/Linux, most Java applets and many graphical
applications for Windows are written in text editors.

> Who wants to write all the BS common code to handle a button event?

You don't need to -- that's what graphical toolkits are for. You write a
line of code to create a button, something like:

myButton = new Button;

Then assign a few properties:

myButton.setText("Click Here");

And add event listeners:

myButton.addEvent("click", myFunction);
void myFunction() {
do this;
do that;
}

This is the way that *most* applications are written. Outside the VB
community, anyway.
