Is there a Dynamic HTML Editor Manual?
I'm finding this program just as confounding as FrontPage. I am not a web page builder and do not understand the majority of the program.
Unfortuantely, I still have to produce a website for my company or it won't be pretty around here! yikes! |

The only manual for now is the help and the samples that you can find in the installation dir of Dynamic HTML Editor. |

Hi Betsy :)
I think that once you have gone through the HTML introductory tutorial (I provided a link in reply to your post "another label inquiry"), you will find that Dynamic HTML Editor's examples documentation is adequate for making good use of the program.
One of the coolest things about Dynamic HTML Editor is that it follows the "principle of least suprise" in its design and user interactivity. In almost all cases, things work pretty much the way you would expect them to work, so a manual wouldn't help that much (from my point of view anyway). The best thing to do if you're feeling a bit overwhelmed by it would be to step back, invest the time in the HTML Introductory Tutorial, then experiment a bit with Dynamic HTML Editor. You'll soon find that Dynamic HTML Editor's design exposes a very simple way to create just about any kind of web page you might want to try.
You'll be creating professional-looking, highly interactive web pages in no time! :)

Thanks for the reply! I've talked my boss into enrolling me into a class for FrontPage next week. I really need some hands on help. This is too advanced for me.[2 ?:-|] |

Betsy:
I would caution against formal training in FrontPage. I think if you go through the abundant free tutorials (with a nice cup of tea), you will have a good grasp of HTML, and then you (like most others) will see that great, lumbering programs like FrontPage are counter-intuitive to the things you would like to be able to do.
I'm not doing a commercial advertisement for Dynamic HTML Editor here, but with just a little effort, you can do everything with it, that you could do with FrontPage (and much more), for a fraction of the cost, time, and aggravation. I've been reviewing web editors for some time now, and Dynamic HTML Editor is absolutely the best tool you could find for the novice webpage creator. It just requires a fairly humble understanding of HTML.
Also, I would caution against believing that this is too complicated. Once you get past the initial unfamiliarity of HTML, you will find that it is all very logical with very few syntactical rules to get in the way of thinking clearly about what you want visitors to your webpage to experience. There are literally thousands of "professional" web developers out there making lots of money on the flawed notion that "I can't do this - its just too complicated". I can tell from your posts that you are a thoughtful, bright person - you're just a little uncomfortable with the deep end of the pool. Wade on in ... I promise you can swim :)
Come on !!! Don't give up ! You can do it! :)

Joe:
I really need someone sitting down with me and talking about each step in the process of the building a web page. I prefer being with someone in person to explain things to me...hey if there was a Dynamic HTML Editor class to take, I would've signed up for it. I've already created like 11 pages in it, but need some direction on what the next step is, and the next step, and so on.
Perhaps after taking FrontPage, I'll have a better understanding of Dynamic HTML Editor.
Thanks for all your input. Betsy |
