-------------------------------------
OBSERVATION: :eyebrow:
When pass by source then design then on source again:
- the software create some tag:
<HTML><HEAD>
<META content="Evrsoft First Page" name=GENERATOR></HEAD>
<BODY><PRE>

... my code ...

</PRE></BODY></HTML>

why's that?
and it have change all the < and > tags for &lt; and &gt;
everywhere, and the preview is showing the code but not the result page.

And when i pass the mouse over the code, it speed refresh.

:hellother bye !

I am having the same issue.

All of the "<" and ">" are being converted to "&lt;'" and "&gt;" once you go from design view to source view.

Is there a fix for this?

Thank you in advance.

This is only to address the substitution of characters that you both report. I cannot comment on design view, I have that feature turned off. Concerning character substitution that you found to be unexpectedly going on, these posts said:

There is a reference of the hexadecimal codes, descriptive names and special characters here (http://homepages.ihug.co.nz/~olamb/page5h.htm). For the characters that you mention…

Entity Name Numeric Code Descriptive Code Character

less-than sign & # 60; & lt; <
greater-than sign & # 62; & gt; >

I have to add spaces in the numeric code and spaces in the descriptive code to keep the forum from converting the descriptions fo the symbol (special character). Go to the link to see these displayed properly.

If you put the descriptive names for < and > in the text editor of this forum and then look at the result in the preview mode, you will see that the descriptive names have been replaced by the symbols. In many respects these things are one and the same. Browsers know how to display these properly.

It seems to be a default behavior for 1st Page 2006 to convert the less than sign and the greaer than sign to the descriptive code. If you remember that & followed by a couple of letters probably defines a special character, and lt would go with less than and gt would go with greater than, is there a problem? If it is I think there are some editing and general options for 1st Page 2006 that enable you to tell the program what you want it to do when it "sees" these. However, I think 1st Page 2006 is behaving properly in this case. I would not want these special characters in my ASCII files.

If I wanted a WYSIWYG (what you see is what you get) application, I would not use 1st Page 2006. I have the design view turned off in my application options so that I can not even go there by accident.

Some of the others may be able to offer additional suggestions and advice about all of this.

Thank you for participating in the forums here. It livens things up.

Thanks for the response Galactic.

I guess I am a bit lost.

The following is being converted in the html source when I switch from Design to Source...

<html> to &lt;html&gt;
<td> to &lt;td&gt;
<table> to &lt;table&gt;

As you can imagine, the html is seriously mucked up after this occurs.

Do you have any suggestions for a free WYSIWYG editor?

Thanks again.

Converting the less than and greater than characters around html code is cleary a design flaw/bug.

don't use design mode I'd suggest.
