Great question! Made me run right over and open the original save with
notepad. But alas, the original save was also changed even in notepad.
However, as to the second part of your question, the original save WAS as
htm. I thought this was just a typo on my part at the time. Is there some
significance to this?
Here's some of the changed lines. Everything after the first line here was
added by the unknown process. In addition to this the TBODY tag was added
throughout the document and case changes made in other areas of the code -
such as hex numbers I do as B6C777 being redone in lower case as b6c777. I
was on-line while coding and saving the page. However, the page was saved to
a directory on my hard drive, not uploaded anywhere.
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN"
"http://www.w3c.org/TR/1999/REC-html401-19991224/loose.dtd">
<META http-equiv=Content-Type content="text/html; charset=windows-1252">
<META content="MSHTML 6.00.2900.2604" name=GENERATOR></
Note that in redoing the page I left that first line out. So far, that code
remains unchanged.
Not sure if I noted it or not, but the changed page works fine. None of the
changes were harmful, except that I needed some clear code to show an
8-year-old. In fact, I may be getting behind, as I never heard of the TBODY
tag before, which appears to have considerable utility.
Many thanks for your response, Music. (grin)
