I would like to report a gliche in the CoffeeCup Software...
When in the code editor, and choosing to insert the meta description tag, the program places the meta description tag in the wrong place.

Ex:

If this exists in the editor-
<meta name="keywords" content="aaa,bbb,ccc,ddd,eee,fff"></head>

and I want to now insert the description tag,
this is what happens:

<meta name="keywords" content="aaa,bbb,ccc,ddd,eee,fff"<meta name="description" content="">></head>

Result:
The keyword tag is not closed.

Please advise- I am not an expert, so I don't know what happens with the big picture, but this does not seem right.

You may want to click on profile and change your forum name to something other than your email address. That might help keep down the level of spam.

I had not noticed that action before.

Here is an easy work around. When you enter the keywords meta tag, press the enter key and you page will look like this:
<meta name="keywords" content="aaa,bbb,ccc,ddd,eee,fff">
</head>

It is moving the </head> tag to the next line that will keep the problem from happening.

Just to let you know ---- CoffeeCup is now aware of this and has classified it as a bug. I don't know how hard it will be to fix, but they are working on it.

Oh, thats good. After doing some more testing, it only happens when the description tag and keyword tag are inserted into the same line on the code editor.

"enter" must be hit to give the new tag a new line. And it doesn't matter which is inserted first- description or keyword tag.

Hope this is helpful to folks. Thanks for taking a look.
(hope you can understand my amateur lingo.)
