Best No-Frills HTML Editor?
 

I tried to throw together a quick web page for selling my 951. Some people can see the images, some cannot. (Link is labeled "FOR SALE" in my signature.)

I built it with Word and it does some pretty weird stuff--like the way it links images.

Does anyone know of a simple HTML editor that doesn't do the funky, propriety, Microsoft HTML?

notepad

In your code it looks like the image files are pointing to your workstation.
I've seen it before when the link points to the folder on your workstation after you
publish it.
(src="For%20Sale_files/image035.jpg")

If this is the case then you need to make sure your files are uploaded to the web server and your code points to their location.
example: www myserver/pictures/image1.jpg

Just a thought.

Comcast should have web building tools.

That's what I thought at first too, but some people can see the images...

And I did put a For Sale_files folder on my server space.

oops sorry, forgot you already mentioned that.
I don't see them either, it looks like it may be truncating the link, have you looked at your code and see if the link shows the entire url or just part of it?

I do see the for sale_files folder,
It's possible the links don't like the space in the url path
home.comcast.net/~cdcihak/For Sale_files/

Rename the folder for sale_files to for_sale_files or something like that and redirect your links to point to that location???

Images fail to load in Internet Explorer.

Using notepad or any plain text editor remove < ![if !vml] > and its corresponding < ![endif] > tag everywhere you find it.
That should fix it. Ironic that the MS generated HTML works everywhere but the MS browser.

I see them in Firefox.

In a web page, you don't have to put the whole link for an image, you can, if the images are in the folder or a subfolder of the folder that the webpage itself is in, just use the end of the link as he did.

The real problem is the space in the folder name. (src="For%20Sale_files/image035.jpg") <-- in that code the "%20" stands for a space. If you change the folder to For_Sale_files and then change your pointers to, (src="For_Sale_files/image035.jpg"), then the images should work for everyone.

Oops, didn't notice that Rob already covered that.

write all code in small case
write all filenames in small case
it matters

Ironic? It's a feature. :D

BTW, I get the ad and pictures fine on Safari, FWIW.

Edit: Seems like an amazing amount of HTML code for that page!

Best,

Well, I broke down and manually edited the HTML. Haven't done that since 1998. (I wrote my first web page before there was a such thing as an HTML editor back in '96.) Took me two hours. Now it works.

/usr/bin/vi

emacs

Sorry, I don't play Pokemon. ;)
