Hey,
Just a quickie. I'm going insane trying to figure this out.
Not for the first time, I've tried posting a massive blog on MySpace, which I've created by designing it in Microsoft FrontPage and copying the html over into MySpace.
But for some reason, while reading the posted blog, every now and then, at random points, it totally messes up, i.e. i get parts of the html code breaking through into the blog, like a "" in the text, or I get a link to a picture instead of the actual picture, whereas the rest of the blog is fine.
I'm no whiz at HTML, but I checked the code and it turns out that, for some reason, MySpace is changin certain "<"s and ">"s into "<" and ">", which is messing the code up in random parts. I can fix this, but then I re-post the blog, and it's done the same thing in about four OTHER places. I fix these, and then other parts are messed up.
WHY IS IT DOING THIS?!!!! Why can't it just use the code I give it, why does it alter it and ruin the entire blog with little bits of html code appearing everywhere? What's so frustrating is why does it change certain "<"s and ">"s and not all of them?
I hope I've been clear about this - it's tricky to explain. If anyone has any kind of code that stops this from happening, please let me know.
Thanks to all of you for this service,
All the best,
Mark

MySpace may not support Frontpage extensions.
Or, it may be due to some of the extra garbage that Frontpage puts into the code. Open your pages in Notepad and clean up the code.
If you provide the URL, we could look at the source and find the problem for you.
Please let us know if you found someone's advice to be helpful.

...certain:
"<"s and ">"s into "<" and ">"
ummm... that doesnt seem liek a problem... maybe if you're trying to just DISPLAY the LESS THAN and GREATER THAN signs you should use
AMPERSAND gt SEMI-COLON for GRETAER THAN
and
AMPERSAND lt SEMI-COLON for LESS THANif that wasnt what you needed, sorry, but i dont understand that part and you mentioned that was the problem

FBI Agent, an easier way to do that (and show others how to do it) is to just leave the semicolon off the end. > = > < = <

petteyg359,
Can you demonstrate this method for us?
