Hi,
After I finish editing text with hyperlink in it, I'vq found a lot of small
blue flags in my text, with I dont need. Said flags creat mess in my text.
How to removw them?
Thanks
 
The flags show the location of empty anchors.
In code view an empty anchor will resemble
<a name="sumfing"></a> - note nothing between > and </a>

To remove the flags, either make the anchors non-empty <a
name="sumfing">a word in here</a>
or remove them - will make bookmarks in the page fail
or ignore the flags - they will not display when viewed in a browser.

There are toooooo many said flags in the "Design" tab of frontpage 2003
Yes I may kill them one by one... but I want kill them in one shot!
Any specific sigest?
Thanks
 
Using Ron's example below, if they are all in this format: <a
name="sumfing"></a> you could use Find and Replace. Find <a
name="sumfing"></a> and replace it with nothing. The Find and Replace
function also gives you the option of 'Replace All' - but be very careful -
there's usually no clean way to undo the changes.

Yes I used Find and replace tab...
I tried to find first... in both Design and Code tab...
I found nothing like said string: <a name="sumfing"></a>
And saif blue damn blue flags are still there...

I got said flags after hyperlinks rebplacement over existing word with
hyperlink...
During editing I may get even 2-5 said flags before word replaced...
And I may kill them only one by one
 
Try this (and save as a different file until you see if it works the way you
are satisfied with)...

in code view (html view) do a find and replace for

</a>

and globally replace with

</a>

If you format your hyperlinks with an underline, you will have lots of
"dots" on the page after you do this.
 
Dan,

Thanks but it is not working

Probably because you addviced to replace:

</a>

with

</a>

so, two "words" are equal

No, I not making hyperlinks with underline

Open my page, please

with you FrontPage 2003
Get into Code tab and see all blue flags there
Try you method and shere result if any

Thanks
 
My post was suppose to read:

Replace </a> with & n b s p ; </a> where the characters before the </a> are
all together making a nonbreaking space. Apparently the borwser read it as a
nonbreaking space and the "&nb sp;" didn't appear.
 
Dan,

I open Code tab and Find and Replace and

made replacement of </a> with &nb sp;

I din this with several combination of frase you sent me:

&nb sp;

& nbsp;
&n bsp;
&nb sp;
&nbs p;
&nbsp ;

No sucsess!

Did you tried to open my page which I sent you?
