MX 2004 spoils my code

#1

I ma reposting this message as I did not get a reply yet but I think this must
be quite an important issue for Macromedia to know about! Hi, Before I start -
this is what we are using. Contribute v3.0 Dreamweaver MX v 7.0.1 I have a
problem and it took me a while to figure out what was happening but I've sort
of figured out what is going wrong but do not know why or how to sort it.
Basically if you look at the page below it is functioning correctly with the
right navigation in place on the right, The page validates to HTML. I could
open this up in Contribute edit the page and publish no problem.
http://www.external.stir.ac.uk/undergrad/apply/interviews.php However, if I
check out and open up the exact same file in my Dreamweaver MX 2004 the 'view'
of the page in Dreamweaver is 'wrong'. Quite often there is no text and just
the outline to a thin table across the page. When I would then save and reput
the page the right navigation was no longer in place but instead had 'jumped'
to the bottom of the screen. The page no longer validated to HTML 4.01 and the
validator at w3c was throwing up several errors about closing <td> tags etc.
See below for an example -
http://www.external.stir.ac.uk/undergrad/apply/interviews2.php Does anybody
have any ideas here as this seems to be a big problem. I'm now going to see if
there is an updater for DW availalble that may cure the problem but thought I'd
make you aware of it anyway as it' obviously a bad flaw. Thanks Graham

Hi Murray The page does use includes to pull in a header and footer. However,
these files do not contain <head> <body> tags. They are the same included files
as the file that validates to HTML 4.01 so I don't think the problem lies
there. The left and right navigation on the pages are Dreamweaver Library
items. Sorry it took me so long to reply - have been away for a few days.

Sorry Murray - had to paste the code in this way as it didn't like it when I 'attached code'.

Thanks
Graham

A simple link to the page would work much better.

http://www.external.stir.ac.uk/undergrad/apply/interviews.php - works
http://www.external.stir.ac.uk/undergrad/apply/interviews2.php - does not work

#7

I'm not sure what you are referring to when you say "works", but for sure,
this is NOT going to work on either page -

<td
class="uni_nav_left"onmouseover="this.className='u ni_nav_left_highlight'"

Note the missing space between "..._left" and "onmouseover".

Murray http://www.external.stir.ac.uk/undergrad/apply/interviews.php validates
to HTML 4.01 Transitional and the right navigation appears where it should on
the right. What is happening is that if I open that same file in Dreamweaver
MX 2004 it will 'move' the right navigation to the bottom left of the page and
will no longer validate to HTML 4.01 Transitional. I've renamed the offending
file interviews2.php as in
http://www.external.stir.ac.uk/undergrad/apply/interviews2.php to show you
Basically opening a file in Dreamweaver MX 2004 is 'corrupting' the code.
