Dynamic Web Templates
Attach a Dynamic Web Template to a set of pages that you want to share the same
layout. Protect that layout by specifying which page regions are available to
coauthors for editing.
Layout tables and cells
Create a framework for Web page content by using layout tables and cells.
Automatically create professional graphic effects, such as rounded corners and
shadows. Layout cells can contain text, images, Web Parts, Macromedia
Flash–based content, and other elements.
Layers
Use layers to position content anywhere on your Web page. You can overlap, nest,
and show or hide layers on a page. Layers can contain HTML elements, such as
text and graphics.
Behaviors
Quickly add interactivity or increased functionality to text, images, or other
Web page elements by using scripting-based Behaviors. For example, you can add a
Behavior to an image so that when a site visitor moves the pointer over it, a
different image appears. You can also view and edit the scripts associated with
an element by viewing a list in the Behaviors task panes
Interactive Buttons
Add professional-looking buttons to your Web page by selecting them from a list.
Choose the font and button color, define a link, and then set the image and text
settings for original, hover, and pressed states.
Themes
Apply themes that use cascading style sheets rather than HTML, making to make
your files smaller, more transparent, and easier to maintain and modify. Pages
with HTML themes applied in previous versions retain their settings in FrontPage
2003.
Tracing image
Create a mock-up image of a Web page in a graphics program and then use it as a
visual guide to create or trace the Web page design in FrontPage. Show or hide
the image, set its opacity, and change its position.
Page rulers and layout grid
Precision design and placement is a snap with helpful positioning guides, such
as page rulers and the background layout grid. Customize the rulers or the grid
by choosing a unit of measurement, line styles and colors, and spacing options.
Larger design area
Create Web sites in a larger work area that reduces the need to scroll and makes
site design easier. FrontPage now uses task panes to centralize all of the Web
design features and provides a Web Site tab for managing your site.
Graphics support
Import images into your Web site using new intuitive user interfaces in
FrontPage that enable you to edit images with ease. You have more control over
how images are displayed and saved.
Support for Macromedia Flash
Enhance and update your FrontPage Web site by adding Macromedia Flash–based
content — including movies, audio-enhanced animations, and previously recorded
presentations or courses. Set options for automatic playback, such as playing a
short animation one time when the site visitor first loads the page or looping
the content to play continuously.

Data Source catalog
Use the catalog to access data sources that are already
part of your Web site — such as Windows SharePoint
Services lists or XML files — as well as external data
sources, such as OLE DB data sources and Web services or
URLs that return XML.
Data View Details
View the data structure of a data source and walk
through individual records by using the Data View
Details task pane. Preview the structure and contents of
a data source before adding a Data View to a page.
Web Part pages and zones
Create sophisticated master-detail data views by adding
and connecting Web Parts. Changes to data or formatting
in one Web Part can be reflected in others, providing
site visitors with an interactive experience.
Customized Data Views
Change the overall look of data — either by manually
formatting the data or by applying a prebuilt Data View
style. You can apply additional manual formatting after
you specify the style.
Web packages
Package a portion of your Web site based on Windows
SharePoint Services into a module that others can add to
their sites. Web packages are cabinet files (with .fwp
file name extensions) that can contain Web pages,
templates, Web components, themes, graphics, style
sheets, and other elements. FrontPage ensures that all
dependent files are included in the Web package, so the
deployed package works seamlessly on new Web sites.

Data View Web Part
Author Data Views on live data by using the Data View
Web Part. Data Views are transparent in both Design and
Code views, and you can format them by using the
standard formatting tools. When you format data in a
Data View, FrontPage 2003 creates an Extensible
Stylesheet Language Transformation (XSLT) file to apply
that formatting to your page. The XSLT is presented
inline in the HTML of your page, and you can edit it in
Code view or Split view.
XML support
Use Extensible Markup Language (XML) to complement,
rather than replace, your use of HTML. View or edit
files, apply standard formatting to the structure of
code in XML files, view the XML structure, and create
custom displays of XML data on Web pages. For example,
you can use FrontPage 2003 to create a Web page that
displays data from an XML file, and then you can apply
filtering, sorting, and conditional formatting to
display the data the way you want.
