Webpage layout changes and new info appears after edit

[DougZ]

I'm testing the lite version by trying to make an image editable while preserving original dreamweaver layout and sizing.  I inserted the snippet code as follows:

<div id="Layer2" style="position: absolute; left: 655px; top: 167px; width: 140px; height: 200px; z-index: 3">< !-- #BeginSnippet name="Main Content" users="user1" --><img src="HpImages/Rascal.jpg"width="145" height="218" />< !-- EndSnippet --> </div>

In the SnippetMaster Lite page everything appeared to be editable.  I changed the image OK but after saving and viewing the web page the layout had changed and the snippet code text appears above and below the image.


Thanks, Doug

Hello,

If you are using the Snippet Tag feature, can you make sure you are selecting to edit the SNIPPET from the file dropdown menu?  (ie: Make sure you do not select the file listed under the WHOLE FILES part.)

Let me know.

Thanks for responding so quickly.  I'm editing from the SnippetMaster welcome window.  I don't see an "edit the SNIPPET" option from the  dropdown menu for file selection.  The only options available are 'WHOLE FILES"

If the SNIPPET is not appearing, then this means that the Snippet Tag is not valid. 

You have:

< !-- #BeginSnippet

You need to remove the space between the angle bracket and the exclamation.  It should be a proper HTML comment...

Thank you, the SNIPPET is now appearing and the file opens in the edit window.  I select the image, and then click the Insert/edit image toolbar icon.  I choose another image and resize it (under the Appearance tab) to the same size as the original .  After I save, the layout elements are scrambled on the page.  The new image appears with a black rectangle above it.

Can you send me an email with your Snippetmaster URL and login info?  I'll login and take a look to see what might be the problem.  (Please also include exact step by step instructions to recreate the problem.)



Thanks!
