 Expression Web v2 b1 versus FrontPage 2003
 

In my initial testing, I quickly found wrong in both Expression Web v1 and v2. Note how the frame below renders in the editor.

The image above is Expression Web v2 - and it's the same in v2.

The image below it is the same frame under FrontPage 2003. Note that it shows correctly (truly WYSIWYG).

The item in question is a table of three rows and several columns. The middle row is only 1 pixel tall. This is suppossed to be the yellow line down the middle of a highway ("driving", get it?). The gearshift knob is an overlay the the upper left corner. That may be effecting how Expression Web presents the editting window. Note that the site does show the page properly in IE 7 or 8, and any of those "other" browsers too.

 Microsoft Expression Web v2 - beta 1 testing
 

A picture named expression-web_v2_beta1.jpgI'm busy testing beta 1 of Expression Web Version 2. One page from my site is shown to the left.

This just arrived this week, so I have not yet been able to test every feature, let alone try the new ones.

After two days of testing, though, there is one thing very clear. My prior 2 installations of Expression Web Version 1 both suffered from occasional bombs... whereas Version 2 is (so far) 100% stable.

My attempt this morning of incorporating Silverlight v2 "Deep Zoom" failed because of my own lack of knowledge about Silverlight. This would seem to be ideal to close-up zoom of the super high-res photos I like to put into this site. I'll clearly need more help before  I can implement this feature...

There are more issues with Expression Web, and I'll go into those in the short term future.
