[QUOTE="cptkrf, post: 1004803, member: 134861"] I haven't coded webpages (for real) in about 5 years so take this in that context. Frontpage will definitely work with Bootcamp and should work with Parallels or VMware. And if you have a bunch of sites coded in FP then you don't have any choice, since there is no FP program for OSX - assuming that one hasn't just come out that I never heard of. Now to break for an opinion, FP is a lousy webpage builder for several reasons. Nonstandard, makes bloated code (not an exclusive problem FP, however), and just like Word, changes massively everytime MS updates the program. IWeb however, is not a replacement. Or at most, a very lightweight replacement. I tried to build a simple site for a friend with it and it was just too "canned." But it definitely will build a site if you want. However, you aren't going to get server sided pages with it or do anything fancy, just HTML code. But, if you are building from scratch, or your old sites aren't interlarded with tons of ASP code (don't confuse this with ASP.NET), there are many builders for OSX that will make good code, and it will be much closer to the coming HTML5. SeaMonkey is one good HTML builder. It has replaced the old Mozilla Composer which was very good in it's day. Here is a place to start...
