    Default Problems editing pages

    I am unable to edit 2 separate pages on our website using Macromedia. Upon
    pressing EDIT PAGE we get an error message that states, " Invalid filename. The
    given filename either contains illegal characters or is too long. Please note
    that the length of the path to the file is included in any file length limits".
    It only happens on these two pages and no others. We are able to edit all
    content on all other sections of the website. Also, many other file names which
    are editable are much longer than these two that don't!?

    Both our new IT support people and our new web design guy seem unable to help
    as they say they don't know Macromedia. Does anyone have any ideas?

    I've tried creating a new page using the existing ones as a template, but get
    the same error message. I've also deleted and renewed the shared settings file,
    again to no avail.

    Any quick fixes? Has anyone come across this problem before?

    Thanks!

    What are the names of the pages you are trying to Edit, or the urls to the pages?

    The pages we seem to be unable to edit using Macromedia are as follows:

    [url]http://www.coolmusicltd.com/Contracting/feature-films.html[/url]

    [url]http://www.coolmusicltd.com/Contracting/record-industry.html[/url]

    Is that what you meant?

    Thank you.

    You have problems in your css:


    [url]http://jigsaw.w3.org/css-validator/validator?profile=css21&warning=0&uri=http%3A[/url]
    %2F%2Fwww.coolmusicltd.com%2FContracting%2Ffeature-films.html

    And an error in your javascript (line 20, 28, Object expected)

    Sorry I'm still really confused, what actually is the problem with our 2 links
    that won't edit in Macromedia and how do I solve the problem? The link you
    pasted in came up with a whole page that made no sense to me!!

    Thanks again!

    You posted that you had a problem editing these pages. When I opened the first
    page in Contribute, javascript errors appeared and I couldn't edit the page and
    had to close contribute. So I examined the source code and found errors. I
    posted this to suggest that you get someone to get rid of these errors, so you
    probably can edit your pages again.
