problems again...

[azurecanine]

Ok, folks, here's the deal. I am unable to afford any more new "programs". I bought MS Pub '02 because it got better reviews than Adobe 7.0 for all its features and I know what Adobe can do. I have resolved myself to stick with Frontpage '00 to write my websites yet I have run into a problem... :( again. I even downloaded HTML Tidy to try to fix it. When I use my FTP program now to upload to my site on FQ, it gives me nothing but words and letters that make no sense. Here's the victim: www.azurecanine.com/chrc yet at the same time I have www.azurecanine.com/h4ab running with its 32 pages of pure Frontpage '00 written HTML. I am very confused about what is going on.
I am getting more heartache out of this website than just about any other I have before. When I try to correct the problems that Tidy says are wrong with the script, I immediately check it after fixing the problem and it says just the opposite is wrong. I am so confused. You guys have been a great help for me and this heavy crash course in HTML and understanding the dynamics of webpages.

I assume they are supposed to be the same page?

The broken one looks more like a data file than an HTML file. It certainly doesn't look like file corruption (well, nothing that an FTP program would do).

Can you view the same file OK with a browser on your local machine prior to upload?

[azurecanine]

Yes, I can view the two pages just fine in my browser before upload. One is for a horse club which is brand new, the other revolves around political dog issues that I have maintained for over two years.

Thanks for responding,

Seems you're applying HTMLTidy to the wrong file. First, in Windows, go to Tools/Folder Options and uncheck "Hide file extensions." Then look at the file you're working on. It should be index.html, I'm guessing. Make sure it's a .htm or .html file.

Also try saving it as test.htm and then let's look at

The index thing can be a little tricky.

Thanks for responding, Kitchin. I looked in Tidy and went to the Tools menu but could not find anywhere that listed the folder option selection. All that is listed is: Spelling, Thesaurus, Check HTML, Open new window, Browser Bookmarks, Programs, Run External Program, Plug-in Generator, Install, and Customize. I scanned through each of those selections as well and couldn't find anything that resembled Folder Options.

Thanks for the other suggestion as well.

Oh, it's an option in Windows. Start Button/Settings/Folder Options on my system. You can also right-click on the file in question and clikc "Properties" to get its full file name, I believe.
