The front page of a newspaper typically contains the most significant news stories of the day in the country it is circulated in. However, if something happens of major significance in some other part of the world that would be of interest to its readers, it might also make it onto the front page. The front page might also tease other stories that are inside the edition, a practice which is commonly known as splash-pages.
The term front-page is also used as a title for an article that appears on the first page of a magazine or newspaper. It can also refer to an article that appears on the front page of a website, often as a link or banner at the top of the site.
Front-page is also the name of a discontinued WYSIWYG HTML editor from Microsoft that was branded as part of its Office suite from 1997 to 2006. It has since been superseded by two products: Microsoft Expression Web and SharePoint Designer.
In a recent ruling, a federal judge struck down New Jersey’s attempt to legislate Backpage out of existence by finding the state’s law to be unconstitutional and in violation of CDA Section 230. This is the third time a court has enjoined a state law designed to outlaw Backpage.
Among the features that distinguish FrontPage is its ability to hide the details of HTML code from users through a WYSIWYG interface while still allowing them to create and publish web pages and sites. In addition, FrontPage allows for the creation of Web sites with dynamic content based on the user’s selection of items from a database. FrontPage also includes Intellisense, a form of autocompletion which suggests tags and properties as the user types in Code View. It also supports the creation of Code Snippets which allow users to quickly reuse frequently-used pieces of code in their pages.
