HELP: Hidden HTML

P

Paul Elliott

I am redesigning my web page from scratch in FP2K under WinXP Home and have
run into a problem with HTML code that has become hidden.

When I began the page, I could see all the HTML code when clicking on the
HTML tab. However, somewhere along the line the majority of the HTML code
disappeared from that window though it continues to function. I can change
it from the regular window but not directly.

I opened the web in IE6 and can change the HTML from the SOURCE window in
Notepad. However, when I save it and look at it in FP again, FP changes the
Notepad file back even though I have changed its properties to "Read Only."
FP even removes the "Read Only" attribute.

How can I get all the HTML to display in the HTML window again and is there
a way to get FP to quit messing with the code I have manually changed via
IE6?

Thank you for any help.

Only."

ie will be making a txt file in notepad from a temp file in the browser so
saving it you'd have to do a "save as" and save it to the web it came from
but it's not a good idea.
FP even removes the "Read Only" attribute.

How can I get all the HTML to display in the HTML window again
Click to expand...

Try help/ detect and repair, tools/ web settings (advanced tab) and delete
the temporary files, and tools/ recalculate hyperlinks (it does more than
that).
See if that fixes it.

and is there
a way to get FP to quit messing with the code I have manually changed via

You shouldn't really do it this way so i'd need more info on how you were
saving the file etc.

When you view source for a web page in a browser, you are viewing a temporary copy from the
Temporary Internet Files.
Trying to edit that with notepad is futile.

Are you using shared borders or include pages?
The html for them is not visible in your "normal" pages that use them
If using shared border they are in the hidden _borders folder
To see them use Tools Web/Site Options Advanced - show hidden folders
