Frontpage does things in a really, really stupid fashion. I've said that
Dreamweaver can produce good code if it's being used by someone who
doesn't need Dreamweaver to produce good code. Frontpage is worse than
that.

Dreamweaver can be used by a pro as a time saver. No matter how good you
are, though, Frontpage is a time waster.

I did not mean to step on any toes.
Just wanted to ask a few questions.

Ow, my toes! Seriously, check out the w3schools tutorials, and bookmark
this page for details on the various HTML elements:

Ok sounds great but $400 is a little to much for something
that I'll just use in my spare time.

$400? No, you don't need Dreamweaver, man. Just the text editor (I use
Crimson Editor) and the freedom of the blank page.
