OK so I've gotten around my Frontpage hassle by rolling my own ASP form
handling script. (With a bit of help - cheers Paul!).  Part of my argument
against using Frontpage to develop the questionnaire is based on the fact
that it produces shoddy code which doesn't validate or display uniformly in
any browser.  So naturally it's a bit embarrassing when my lovely valid HTML
4.01 page goes haywire in NN 4.? on Linux.  I think the problem lies with my
use of CSS.  There are also a couple of problems with table alignment and my
column heading images not displaying in NN.  Opera is better, although the
coloured backgrounds around the radio buttons still don't appear.  Anyone
looking at the page in IE 5 will see what it's supposed to look like.  I'd
like to be able to achieve as near as possible the same appearance
universally.  Anyone got any suggestions?  I also need to be able to write a
report which will convince my project supervisor of the benefits of using an
ASP and Access database solution instead of using Frontpage's webbots, but I
think that's another story...

Thanks for your help,

Oh yeah, you'll want to see what I'm on about!  A demo version (not the
whole thing which is (a) very long, and (b) confidential) of my
questionnaire is up at http://www.hashishin.net/quest/
