Webtags not working

[Darknstormy]

Hi Everyone.


Now to start this off... I have very little experience with web development, I use macromedia dreamweaver to edit my page. so here is the story... All my web tags that i add to my pages but they don't work even if i add them right next to another that is working.. it doesn't work

I did a test and added a new page with a heap of different web tags, put it in cumulus ticked ftp and process non of them worked... im buffled how the original ones work but the ones i add don't

any ideas?

Cheers
Lyle

Is DW converting the angle brackets < and > to < and > ?

OHHH F@#%@#$@#$ LOL!! Steve..... your a champ

Whats a better editor, that I can see the design like DW?

I think most WYSIWYG type editors will tend to do the conversion. On the rare occasions where I actually do this sort of stuff, I use MS Expression Web, but I'm careful to only do edits in the 'code' window. Or for simple changes I just use notepad++

Lyle, for the past 4-5 years, I have been using (with great satisfaction) the Blumentals Software WeBuilder - it is not a free editor ($49.85 for the personal license) but it is also a lot less expansive than Dreamweaver...

WeBuilder is not a WYSIWYG type of editor in the same way as Dreamweaver, it is code editor, but, with the click of a button, one can see the results of the page being worked on in a second window or directly in one's favourite browser...

Hi Ray,

Thankyou for your input.. I shall Google it and have a look. Pitty I didn't know this before DreamWeaver, luck my copy was cheap because it was an older version , I got it to learn more about web developing.. that kinda went down the drain

Thanks again
