I started this in the WYSIWYG forum, but posted the subject wrongly and started a mini war. Hopefully this is the correct forum.

I want to develop sites in .aspx
Which has more comprehensive coverage for .aspx (ie debugging, testing, etc.), Frontpage or Dreamweaver.

Cheers

I haven't worked a lot in Dreamweaver but know FP pretty well, but to answer your question I'd have to name a product you haven't mentioned: Visual Studio.NET.

The reason why I say this is simple: FP is (IMHO) too much GUI and nice for a first draft. But from my experience (mainly with asp that is) is that you cannot change a lot of stuff for FP will change it back the way "it" thinks it is correct, even if it isn't (even caused some 500 errs on my server until I fired up Notepad to change the source)!

Just to throw in another option. Since your are looking for something to handle .aspx. Why not consider Webmatrix

Amazingly its FREE

[asp.net...]
