I'm trying to run/maintain a website and I use PW as advertising. (It beats Adsense, $0.00 for them, about $0.50 for PW.) However, since I last updated these two, they're altering the html code enough so the PW bot thinks it's broken. Working with a PW rep, they told me that a certain line of code is being mangled. It's supposed to look like this:
Quote
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://www.projectwonderful.com/ad_display.js"></script>

However, just loading the page in KompoZer OR SeaMonkey's composer and it becomes this:
Quote
<script type="text/javascript"
 src="http://www.projectwonderful.com/ad_display.js"></script>

Now, I have NO idea how this is enough to throw off a bot, (But I'm all ears for some kind of explanation.) And I'm even more confused as to how it worked well enough to display the ads in Firefox. (The rep said it was because of their backups, but as far as I know those are on THEIR site, not mine...) I'm even further confused because I've tested both programs, and BOTH are doing the same thing...

This can be considered ALREADY SOLVED because I just open the html file in Abiword and manually delete that line break, then upload the pages using FileZilla. I just want to know why it's doing this and maybe alert others as to what's going on. So, please enlighten me. (And/or direct me to a setting to fix this.)

If Kompozer is inserting a <"br"> in the code, I can't imagine why. I have never seen it do this sort of thing in any of my code.  ???

I have tried to use Kompozer several times, but it has always messed up the formatting with extra line breaks and other unnecessary code. I spend more time code cleaning than coding. I continually hope to go back to trying it again, but each time I try I become more hesitant to try again.

I would prolly recommend SeaMonkey's composer. (It's the only other one in the repos...) It seems less tempermental, but check the advanced properties of EVERYTHING after the switch. (I'm hoping to see Amaya in the repos soon.)

Good Luck, Drayco84. I do a lot of web coding and my experiences are similar to Galen's - I have wanted to like/trust kompoZer but I am always reminded of its limitations everytime I give it another spin.

With the switch to KDE 4 it is a real tragedy that Quanta Plus - IMHO the best Linux/Unix web authoring program of the lot - hasn't been ported to the new desktop, and there's no indication of if/when it will be. I shall be taking a look at SeaMonkey's composer and also at Amaya in the near future.

Huh... Looks like kdewebdev-devel, (Development library files for quanta, according to the description.) is still in the repo list... Just a heads up...
