MS FrontPage
Looks like they didn’t use FrontPage to create this banner ad. Look at this Microsoft skyscraper ad for FrontPage 2003: Notice anything? No? Hint: zoom in on line 28. Source: David Tenser [redemption in a blog]…

Ha ha! I just noticed that! Ah, the irony…and I use FrontPage to edit my website…it’s a good program, but with an ad like that, err…I don’t think anyone who doesn’t know HTML would catch that. But either way that’s funny.

Well, it took me a while to notice the / on line 28…because I first noticed the MACROMEDIA Dreamweaver javascript function “ONLOAD=MM_preload….” (frames 2-3)
Macromedia starts all function code with ‘MM_’ … I thought that was funny…then I noticed the dumb / on 28. :P

Someone should lose their job over that. Really.

Typo aside – this is a very good ad from MS. Self depreciating humor is a great idea in this case and I am going to go see if I can get a copy of MS FP 2003 right now to review.

That is hysterical. You would think that they could get that right. But no. I get the biggest kick out of Microsoft.

well, people who use FrontPage don’t know html…so i don’t think it’ll affect their sales :)

That’s why they “said Frontpage”, and not “clean code”.
need a space

They also need a space between the period after “right” and “We”
