Golive 6.0 keeps destroying my code

[PJ Wassermann]

hi there

Golive 6.0 (Mac OS 9.22) keeps destroying my code. When there's a form tag it keeps inserting a form end tag right after my commands although there is a form end tag further down. Cornered brackets (sorry, I don't know the English term) get replaced by different code when they're within quotation marks. I like to have all my <input type ="hidden"....> neatly sorted for a better overview and when I come back to source code mode form layout mode it's all in a mess.

Does anybody have a hint on this?

Thanks and kind regards

"Does anybody have a hint on this?"

Write your code from scratch and don't rely on buggy devices such as the problem that you are using. Much code can be handled as copy/paste/edit from your own template(s). How hard can that be?

[Cornered brackets] = square brackets

Right square bracket = &#91;

Left square bracket = &#93;

Code have to pasted in source mode.

Do not use Rewrite Source Code only after good backup!

Try also <noedit>your code here</noedit>

Hi, PJ! Anatoli uses GoLive for Windows and hasn't complained but I used to use Adobe PageMill and it would always corrupt my CDML. I thought GoLive would be better, though. I use Dreamweaver 4.0 for Mac and it changes SOME code from time to time but only rarely (usually extra <P> tags I don't want and cannot delete except in the code editor). I think <FORM></FORM> tags must fully contain tables or be fully contained in a table cell... no table-crossing and no nested/crossed forms.

I keep both LAYOUT and CODE EDITOR visible at the same time (layout on left, code on right) so I can always see what's going on. Some folks like pure Text Editors, which is probabably best if you're a coder. For Mac, the best text editor (IMO) is BBEdit... I think Garry uses that one, too.

What if you design the basic form first and then add the <INPUT TYPE="hidden" NAME="-fmpwhatever" VALUE="whatever"> tags and the ACTION="FMPro" stuff afterward?

There's also a FREE BOOK in PDF available for GoLive. Maybe they mention something about how it handles/organizes code.

Thanks everybody

I'm not a hardcore coder though I do unterstand html. Most of my projects are heavy with graphics and design so I need some support from an editor like Golive. Apart from these code problems I think it's a pretty good app.

I hoped that somebody could point me to some location in the very extensive preference files of Golive. At least I found out how to keep it from changing my square brackets.

kind regards

Nice try

Macromedia is much, much nicer company than Adobe.

But MM User Interface is from another planet. That maybe explains, why they are nicer than Adobe
