Lost Page Code

I created a web page with FP2003 as I have a million times before. The page
looks fine on the internet but when I open it from FP, less than half of it
is actually there. I can't see or edit the code, but if I click on Preview,
the page looks fine. There are several 100 lines of code, but only the first
38 lines appear in the Code screen.

The page is www.invitationoccasions.com/badpage.htm.

I've been working on this for an entire day and can't seem to find the
answer. Please help! <smile>

Thanks...Dan
 
I see 628 lines total in code view, so I don't understand what's
happening. I'll be glad to email you the code. My return address
works.

When you say "I see 628 lines" is that when you view the page in FrontPage or
when you View Source?

When I look at the page as View Source, I see them all also. When I open the
page with FP, I only see 38.

Thanks! ... Dan

I only looked at the source. Have you used FTP or anything else
besides FP to work on the site? It must be corrupted as for as FP is
concerned.

Tom J
 
No, I didn't FTP or anything else. I even Imported it to a different server
and it's still corrupted. I thought saving it to notepad would clear away any
non-printing characters, but it didn't help.

Thanks...Dan

I opened it with FP and there is over 600 lines...cant remember the exact
number.

If your online web is all ok you may want to try a full publish back to your
hd...and to be safe publish it back to a different named web.
 
In FrontPage2003 I see 532 lines of code (the bottom shared border
will not show in code view)
This includes about 12 superfluous </div> tags (no opening <div>s),
and an area of non-breaking spaces, &nbsp; , that should be removed.
The space bar should not be used as a formatting tool - it will break
if the browser viewport is resized, or the user changes the font size.
 
Hi Ronx...

Thanks for the tips. I didn't realize that. I will keep that in mind. Do
you think this is the cause of the mysterious missing code?

Thanks...Dan

No - these are code problems, but will not cause the code to be
hidden.
The hidden code I cannot explain, since it is visible in FrontPage
2003.
 
using IE when I go to

and view source all that's there is a heading and table (empty)

I see the page in full
 
Hi KatWoman.,...

Yes, you;re right. When I opened and resaved badpage.htm even more code was
lost. Still, if I open the dinkyiav127p.htm with View Source it looks fine,
but if I open it with frontpage, the code is missing even thought the PREVIEW
screen looks fine.

I haven't been able to figure out why.

Thanks...Dan
 
Verify that you have closing cell and table tags on the page and any include or shared border pages.

Too late
What ever you did has wiped out the page
(and left you w/ the top of an empty table)

You only have a minimal broken page left at
http://www.invitationoccasions.com/badpage.htm
It ends with
<tr>
<td>
</body></html>

And should have at least
<tr>
<td></td>
</tr>
</table>
</div>
</body></html>

IMHO start again

Hi Rob...

That is the bad file but in my initial message I listed another example
badpage.htm. Since then that page was further damaged.

Anyway, I've re-created the page. The feeling was that it may have been
caused by several open "Shared Borders."

This has been a good experience, however, since I had never visited this
discussion group before and I believe it will be very helpful/enjoyable in
the future!

Thanks...Dan
