My Save Button Has Disappeared!

**Minet** · May 25, 2004

Okay your all going to be sick of me before I'm done setting up the site but here's another small problem...

I was busy setting up my first page. got the graphics and everything to work jumping back and forth editing the page to seeing how it was looking.

Got back to the edit section and the save button at the bottom was gone!

there was this snippet at the bottom that I didn't put in there...

</textarea>

<br>

Save file as: <input type=text value="main.html" name=file>

<br>

</form>

</center></font></body>

</html>

any clues as to what happened anyone?

Uh oh! You broke the HTML!

Seriously, you must have put in something prior to that portion and it somehow made the remainder of the code act funny.

**Minet** · May 25, 2004

You were probably right the first time annie....I probably broke the html! wouldn't be the first time....

Okay web guru's here is the entire html so far for the page...luckily it's not to involved yet....

can any one figure what the heck made the save button go bye bye??

<html>

<head>

<title>Genteel Ladies of the World</title>

</head>

<!-------------------begin body content----------------!>

<br>

<table>

<tr>

<td>

</td>

</tr>

</table>

<br>

</td></tr></table></td></tr></table></td></tr>

</table></td></tr></table

</body>

</html>

<br>

Save file as: <input type=text value="main.html" name=file>

<br>

</form>

</center></font></body>

</html>

yep.

Right before this tag:

</body>

There's a table tag, and it's missing the closing bracket, like this:

</table

Might be more, but that's what leaps out at me.

Save the code, right down including this one:

</html>

Then delete the page, and create a new page, then paste the code into it. You can park it in notepad or editpad in the meantime, if you're afraid you'll hit ctrl-c again without thinking, emptying the clipboard.

hooooookay

copy and pasted the code

deleted the file

created a new one

copy and pasted the code to the new file and fixed the </table> tag and deleting everything below that.

saved it

went back to edit it and again that snippet of code was at the bottom and the save button was missing again! gremlins?

oops meant to say deleted everything after the </html> tag

**annie** · May 25, 2004

Don't know. The file works fine in my browser.

I think you should think about using FTP...

**Minet** · May 25, 2004

okay for some reason the <!---------text-----!> tag when I removed that the save button stayed.

So so far so good.....

never used ftp...what is it and where do I get it and how hard is it to learn?

thanks for the help annie!

This is not a valid comment:

<!-------------------begin body content----------------!>

It should look like this

**Minet** · May 25, 2004

thanks Bruce off to give it a try!

**TCH-Bruce** · May 25, 2004

Comment blocks in HTML begin with 

And if the span multiple lines the end of the comment should be coded like this on a line by itself. // -->

there has been a few post on free ftp programs

then you can use a text editor to work with the files and pre view them on your computer first,

if you are not already.

And if you need an html friendly text editor

Hang in there is get easier

I found something about an FTP program in my signup mail. Not that I didn't already have one...

**Minet** · May 26, 2004

thanks for all the help guys!

I got an html editor I think it is for ftp too...still trying to figure it out.

But hopefully it'll give me some help.

Hugs!
