I am new to this forum.

After using a layout, I noticed this: "<meta name="GENERATOR" content="MSHTML 6.00.6000.16705">. What is this specific to on my page?

Wendy,

Not knowing where you got the layout, I can only guess that the number is the version number of MSHTML and that MSHTML was used to create the layout. If you do a search on MSHTML, you will find many references to Microsoft.

Thanks for the reply Bill.

The layout is from CoffeeCup but now that I try to find which layout I used ..I can't. Interesting, I wonder how that <meta tag> got into my page.

Wendy,

All I know is that the MSHTML is from Microsoft, I guess I should take a closer look at the available layouts.

Hi Folks,

Can anyone help?

I am manually code editing all my bespoke HTML Editor 2007 web site pages to remove a small table row using the CC HTML Editor 2007.

In between saving and testing in the favourite browser the same code as mentioned in this thread gets added to the file and not by me:

<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=unicode">

<meta content="MSHTML 6.00.6000.16939" name="GENERATOR">

This has never happened before and adds squares in the text of the web page, so this code then has to be edited out which is a bit of a pain.

The file has not been edited in MS products. The only MS content was text cut and pasted in to the visual editor and this was done a long time ago with no problems.

Any ideas much appreciated

Hi Folks,

Since the last post have found that the following code is added to the code page when you perform a File > Save on the code page but not if you move to the Visual Editor performing a Save and Continue.

<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=unicode">

<meta content="MSHTML 6.00.6000.16939" name="GENERATOR">


This solves the problem for the moment and guess anyway most are on newer versions of the HTML editor than 2007 ! :-)

Why not upgrade your program to the most recent version nigel? That might get rid of most of the problems you may encounter with a 2 year old version

1. Stick to either Visual or Code Editor. If you switch between the two, the code will change unpredictably and you are asking for trouble.
2. Upgrade to the latest version as Jo Ann suggests!
3. Depending on what kind of characters are replaced with squares, choose the 'charset' accordingly to ISO-8859-1 or whatever you need.
