Using Aptana for a site that was created with FP Extensions?

51 Views Asked by At

My site was created with FP Extensions. Will using Aptana break any extensions or cause me any functionality/appearance issues, i.e CSS, etc?

Frontpage Extensions are a server addon:

to make your server work with Frontpage client:

If you use Aptana to modify your website you will not get any benefit from FP Extensions, but you will be able to work without issues.

Frontpage latest relase was in 2003, so you will not loose much, but Aptana is not a WYSIWYG editor.

I would suggest to uninstall FP Extensions:

as so many exploits have been found to make it quite insecure.
