~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
VIEW ASP PAGES WITHOUT CHANGING THE
CODE
FrontPage 2002 now has Active Server Page
Source Code Preservation, which allows users
to edit content in pages containing ASP code
without disturbing the ASP code itself. FP02 will
open the ASP page in Normal View, whether or
not the ASP code violates convention (such as
multiple <head>, or <body> tags).
You can open ASP files from: File | Open |
location or URL and view it in Normal View for
editing.

There are many ecommerce options out there
that integrate directly with FrontPage 2000.
Boomerang Software’s Total E-Commerce http://anyfrontpage.com/rd/brs.htm
AddSoft StoreBot 2000
(http://www.addsoft.net/StoreBot/) is a
database-driven and bCentral™ Commerce
Manager Add-In for Microsoft FrontPage http://anyfrontpage.com/rd/cm.htm, to
name just three. But the majority of
FrontPagers use PayPal.
PayPal enables any business or consumer with
an email address to send and receive payments
online. PayPal has a built-in fraud prevention
system and balances are now FDIC insured up
to $100,000. PayPal is absolutely FREE for
customers or consumers. (Could this be why it's
so popular with our FrontPage crafters?)
Service has been secure and convenient.
MS FrontPage (especially FrontPage 2000 &
2002) supports 100% HTML preservation. This
makes integration with third-party e-commerce
solutions simple and fast. PayPal’s Web
Accept (http://www.paypal.com) offers accounts
the means to accept credit card payments from
any Web site without need for a merchant
account. Their product generates HTML code
that can be inserted into any FrontPage 2000
site.
Now, we’re reading about the changes in
PayPal. Does anyone remember the reason
behind them?
SET is replacing SSL as THE E-Commerce
protocol. Developed by Visa and Mastercard,
SET stands for ‘Secure Electronic Transaction’
Standard.
Of course SET’s security includes:
*Digital signature technology
*Encryption scheme assuring confidentiality of
data.
*Algorithms preventing data alterations during
transport.
And this is what it requires:
*Special servers for the merchant to operate.
*Special software for both customer and
merchant.
*Customer / merchant possession of a digital
certificate obtained from a bank.
Three quarters of this system are in place – and
have been since 1997, yet we still have
unanswered questions.
*What are the legal effects of e signatures?
*What are the marketing effects on international
money exchanges?
*And the biggest question of all: Who REALLY
gets to pay for this?
a) customers
b) vendors
c) manufacturers of the products
d) all of the above
Netscape developed SSL (Secure Socket
Layer). Protections included encryption and
server authentication. (SSL causes that little
padlock to close or the key to become whole at
the bottom of your Web browser.) The
encryption assures that a third party cannot use
the data. It also includes authentication your
server as there must be a certificate on file
signed by a Certificate Authority.
With SET, the card holder AND the merchant
are authenticated. (It would have been fairly
easy to include this option in SSL, but Visa &
Mastercard are two of the most powerful
companies in the world.)
With new legal authorization for electronic
signatures, (Electronic Signature in Global and
National Commerce Act), all industries will now
be affected. The ability to securely exchange
and sign legal documents will have an impact
beyond merchant transactions to contracts,
mortgages, medical records, and maybe
prenuptial agreements?
Quote of the Decade: "The banking industry
does not move at Internet speed." said William
Powar in 1997 (a former VISA executive, now a
consultant with Venture Architects).
PS: Card companies need to give Internet
transactions a rate break <smile?>

If you are like us in that you just
can't get enough free FrontPage add ins
then you will love this site!
Extra FrontPage.com debuted in April of this
year. http://extrafrontpage.com is by Fawaz
Hijazi in Amman, Jordan.
"FrontPage makes designing sites so easy I
couldn't resist." Says Fawaz, who got a beta
version of office 2000, and tried out FrontPage
2000. "I liked it a lot so the next day got a
bunch of teach yourself books and started
studying. in no time I learned FrontPage, html,
JavaScript, css and now ASP and PHP.
"A year ago, I learned that you can build add ins
for FrontPage. so I decided to build my very
own, it wasn't easy but I finally did it."
(Editor's note: that would be at age 21<smile>)
ExtraJS FrontPage addin is the first add in
offered by this site with more free add ins
coming. ExtraJS is a add in that consists of
4 great features:
Slide Show
Scrollbar color
Add to favorite &
Current Date
Actually, this isn't exactly the first time we have
told you about this great add in. As you may
recall, we first mentioned this add in back in
issue 2. At that time the add in was still a beta
version and didn't have a permanent home on
the net. It is now out of beta and includes an
additional component, Current Date. We are
looking forward to more free, great add ins from
this author!

New Version of Jimco Flasher Now Available http://www.jimcoaddins.com/com.asp
Jimco Flasher 1.1.0.112 is now available. This
new version adds support for Flash 6.0 (the
latest version) as well as correcting an issue

open when you use it.
Flasher was designed to work on a FrontPage
Web. Therefore, you must have a Web open to
use it. The initial release did not contain code
to check for that. The new version does contain
code that will notify you if a Web is not open.
