Help With Editing

[JuliannaB]

I've been using Contribute 1.0 to edit our website forever. All of a sudden
there are 3 or 4 pages out of the 500 page population of our website that I
can't edit. I can browse to the page in contribute and it looks normal and
complete. When I click to edit it, the whole page shows blank white. What the
heck is going on??

When you browse the page with f.i. IE, is it still blank?
If it's still blank try checking the source code of the page and see if there
is any html left in the page.

If you don't understand the above, post the url to the page(s) concerned and
I'll check it for you.

Hi Julianna

can you try doing the following to test...

on the same page (problematic page)

1. click on New button> Copy of current page
2. type in the test title and publish the page
3. try editing the new page see if it works

[JuliannaB]

I don't understand your message. I'm kind of a website novice. Here's a link to one of the pages that I'm not able to edit:

[url]http://www.longmeadowranch.com/events/index.events.html[/url]

Thanks

I looked at the source-code of the page and your file has a huge amount of
whitespace in it in the javascript in the head of the document and furthermore
in the body. Maybe that's causing the problems, because a lot of the other
pages on your site don't have that problem in the source-code, so this seems to
be the difference between the pages.

Solution: Get rid of the whitespace in some html editor and try again.

When you want to clear the whitespace yourselve you can edit the page through
contribute in an external editor.
In the menu go to File, Actions, Edit in external application en edit.
To add a program to your external editors in the menu choose Edit,
Preferences, File Editors and find Web Page Source in the list.

Good luck.

Hi
just to see if the problem can be replicated on a new page based on an
existing one.

1. Within Contribute browse to that page that goes blank when you try to edit
it
2. Click on the New button
3. Select Copy of current page, type in the test title
4. Publish the page with a test file name
5. Try editing the test file see if the issue persists

I think your page bombs in Contribute because it has too many syntax errors.
Check it out with the W3C Validator at [url]http://validator.w3.org/[/url]. Also that
extra period in the filename might create problems.

Validator W3C results:
