FrontPage does NOT add or change code unless you ask it to. It may
reformat, if you have not spent any time at all in preferences/options
- one of the options is to leave the HTML alone, or the way it's
entered in the Source Tab and the default is NOT to, which I will
concede is an error you can blame on MS/FP.

The point is, if you don't kinow the capabilities of a product, and
only go by the crap that people allow it to put out, you can't bitch
about ANY editor. From much of what I've heard, here, few people DO
understand that. Any other WYSIWYG editor would do the same, though the
defaults may be set differently..
