Hi
I have been making modifications to this page:
http://www.electricsense.com/index-7-1.html

with the free version of your software without any problems.


I installed the paid version about a week ago and now when I make a modification (I changed the link URL on the word "here", this was the only change I made), strange characters appear, see
http://www.electricsense.com/index-8.html

what must I do?
Thanks.

It may have something to do with your doc type.

Does this mean I cant use your software to make modifications to this page? Do you have a solution?
Thanks

You just have to change the doctype in the programme. Instead of all this stuff:

just write:

I have made the modification you suggested to this page http://www.electricsense.com/index-7.html but I still have the same problem, as soon as I import the page into the Coffee Cup html editor the code is damaged (see attached file index 7). I have gone back to the first version of the page (http://www.electricsense.com/index-1.html) which previously (with the free version of your software) I was able to import without any problem, I now have the same problem with this page.
It seems the paid version works differently (less well) than the free version.....I can't use the editor...do you have a solution?

Give it a go. You cannot break anything. When you start a project you get a choice of setting doc type. You appear to have chosen the transitional doc type

I tried what you suggest, see
http://www.electricsense.com/index-test.html

but I still have the same problem?

The strange characters are in the markup when I look at your source code, so in HTML Editor are you seeing them in the markup on your local drive?
Are you uploading the files using the inbuilt ftp or do you use an external client?

What is actually in the place of the strange characters on the page before you made the change? Blanks, different characters, or nothing the characters just magically appear.
Can you publish the same page with the free version as a test?

The free or paid for HTML editor are both essentially text editors with bells and whistles so I can't see how your markup is being changed by the software used to edit it.
As well as what Eric suggests, could you include the .html file index-test.html in a post.

Another thing worth checking is the FTP settings within CC HTML Editor and see if your advanced settings expanded view shows the passive mode check-box checked or not. If the characters you see when published are not actually in the html you are uploading, the issue must be with the way the ftp element is dealing with your server.

Are you using the inbuilt ftp or do you use an ftp client? Also, who is the host? If it is a third party, please try setting up a free S-Drive account and publish the same site to your S-Drive to see if this anomaly manifests itself on there too. That will help us to narrow down the underlying cause.

Thanks,

Dave
