Frontpage randomly inserting text

A

I'm using Frontpage in a SharePoint environment and have a custom css
file that's modifying a collection of sites. I've run into this serious
and strange problem where when editing the css file and saving,
Frontpage will randomly replace a class or id tag with some other text,
usually text attribute "font-family". This obviously causes problems on
the site, and due to its random behavior it's difficult to track down
the problem, especially since I never used the font-family attribute
anywhere in my file.

There's a ghost in the program.

Has anyone else ever witnessed this?

Thanks.

1.
Close FrontPage and then copy and paste this into either Start > Run or the IE address bar and click
OK or Go as appropriate:

%UserProfile%\Local Settings\Temporary Internet Files\FrontPageTempDir

Delete any and all files and folders that show in FrontPageTempDir

Then clear your browser History and Temporary Internet files.

2. You really "should" assign a font-family in your CSS file

Thanks Steve. I'll try that out.

Also, I do assign font families in my css file. The problem was, it was
randomly replacing classes and id's with specifically the font-family
tag, and I had been using the font attribute in its shorthand form,
never using just the font-family attribute. That's why it was extra
strange.

Thanks again!

This may have nothing to do with the problem, but if you save a page using
IE's
File->Save As - Web page complete
The resulting .css file will have all shorthand notations expanded in full.
