We're using fp2002. When we open a particular page (to edit) the html is
there and page displays fine, then the body disappears. It's only doing this
with one page. All other pages are fine.

Is there a way to repair whatever is going on?

Thank you, Jan
 
Goodness - that's lots of content on one page!

Symptoms as you describe are often the result of broken tables and other
code anomalies. So the first place I go to troubleshoot such pages is the
W3C's validator - http://validator.w3.org

Here's a link to the validation of your page -

809 errors - admittedly, many of these errors are 'cosmetic' in nature, but
there are more serious ones like #8, 9, 10, 11, 17, 36, etc....
 
Hi Murray,

Where do we start? There are over 400 problems. Should we go line by line
and fix one at a time or is there an easier way? Do all these issues affect
how we get placed in search engines?

No, I don't think so. I would first of all only look at ERRORS, not
WARNINGS or INFO. Then, I would only look at structural errors, e.g., </td>
tags missing, or </a> tags missing, or </table> tags missing - like that.
See if just fixing those things ( you may not be able to if you aren't HTML
savvy) helps FP like the page better.

None of these would affect search engines, really, which are much more
(actually only) concerned with the content on the page, not its
presentation.
