Re: deleting extra banner and coding help

I tried to do that, but it would not transfer my files, i am very frustrated right now, because i cant even see where to delete the banner. Would it be better if i deleted it and tried to upload it again

Re: deleting extra banner and coding help

Of course if you have good HTML files on your hard drive, and mutilated HTML files on your site, it would be good to clean everything out of your account and upload the good files from your hard drive.

If you are sure the files on your hard drive are everything you need, and are not clobbered.

But you will need to be careful not to mess them up again, and it's not clear what sort of editor you have been using once you get things up to your site.

Best to do your editing on your PC and use FTP to upload everything.

I don't see how you would have ended up with Bravenet's code in the files on your hard drive.

The page is reloading because of your body tag that says to reload it every time it loads.

Re: deleting extra banner and coding help

Im sorry, I guess I should not do a website, because I have no idea how to fix this and the info that I am getting just is not helping me. I know what is causing it and I know what needs to be fixed, but I have no clue how to fix it.

Re: deleting extra banner and coding help

well guess you deleted your site

so just start all over again and save your page as index.html


but you had an extra body tag in there as some things you are doing created the extra tag in there with your site


so UNLESS you know html you won't know even what we are talking about as you apparently have NO CLUE perhaps do some learning of html

Re: deleting extra banner and coding help

Thank you, that is what i am trying to do, everyone has to start somewhere right. Thank you for all of your help

Re: Re: deleting extra banner and coding help

Tracey, I think you really need to Google for some html tutorials. The basics only take a few hours to learn.

To clean up your pages from the state you describe you need to be able to identify the bits of code that you need to remove. The alternative is starting over.

Peter, Thank you for your reply and not making me feel stupid. I am trying to get this straightened out, and I think i have finally figured out the problem. Again, thank you.

Re: deleting extra banner and coding help

I'm using the free hosting site and am finding that bravenet automatically adds a new/extra head and body tag to my clean code when it drops in its banners. Has anyone experienced this before? Any idea how to stop it from happening.

FYI:
1) I thought for some reason it didn't like my Doc Type declaration so I changed mine to reflect Bravenet's preference (per the information in the knowledge base) re-uploaded all my files - no effect.

2) Deleted all of the existing FTP files and re-uploaded new clean files again - no effect.

3) Tried using Bravenet's text editor but it doesn't show the Bravenet's inserted code so I can't delete out the extra tags.

I created the site on notepad - didn't use Bravenet's wizard. The site otherwise works perfectly, except that with the extra inserted tags it's "untitled".

"bravenet automatically adds a new/extra head and body tag to my clean code when it drops in its banners."

That is what it does. No way to change it.
