I'm currently experiencing a problem when trying to edit my site in FP2003.
It has happened before, but disappeared very quickly.

You see, I can open my site for editing, but the main cell (I use tables),
appears completely empty. I've closed an re-opened it many times to no
avail.

Any idea as to why this is happening to me?
And any suggestions on how to combat the problem?

It is driving me nuts!

Thanks in advance
 
My guess is it is a problem with the HTML code. (Unless the same page
opened in an earlier version of FP fine?) If you post a link to the page,
somebody might take a look at it.

And it only started happening the other day.

Do you have a backup of the file you can check?

Not a recent one. Both my local and remote sites appear to have the same
problem.

I don't keep backups, after any changes appear fine.

I could not see the stuff in my main pane either.

I deleted:

<!--webbot bot="HTMLMarkup" startspan -->

right before

<applet code="Dgclock.class" CODEBASE="http://xeryusonline.co.uk/java-sys"
width="100" height="30">

in the HTML and that allowed me to see it in the normal view. I am not sure
how this would effect your web page, but you might know if it is OK to
delete.

Cheers mate, that seems to have done the trick.
It was there for my java clock. There really was no need for it anyway, so
I just removed the thing.

Another quick question...

Do you know what the line of code bellow is for? It's on line #2

<html xmlns:msdt="uuid:C2F41010-65B3-11d1-A29F-00AA00C14882">
 
I am not sure, but here is what I have gathered.

<html
should be self explanitory. This is the start of an html documnet.
xmlns:msdt="uuid:C2F41010-65B3-11d1-A29F-00AA00C14882">
The xml part stands for "Extended Markup Language", and "improvement" on
HTML. It was developed by Microsoft.
The ns is "namespace", and I have no idea what this is.
msdt I would guess is something like Microsoft Data Table, but that is just
a guess.
uuid stands for a Universal Unique IDentifier. Details at:
http://www.dsps.net/uuid.html.

I think that all this stuff was added by FrontPage 2003. To test this
theory, create a new document and check the HTML. I wouldn't worry about
it.
