SM makes webpage a Mess!

[beejay]

Hi,
New to SM. The installation was relativly easy and the program worked first time.
But I have a few issues after setting tag on the areas I wanted to edit.
1. The text appears in at least two different sizes on the SM editor. On the website the text is all one size.
2. Once I have edited the text and saved the new webpage is basically trashed.
2(a) most images are missing,
2(b) most text not part of the editing process is missing,
2(c) edited text is not in the correct place,
2(d) one image moves from top right of the page to bottom right.

Please, can any help.

It sounds like something is not configured correctly.

Feel free to send me an email with your login un/pw and I'll take a look.  (henri @ www.snippetmaster.com)

Hi Henri,
Thanks for responding so fast. I'm looking at a few different CMS programs. So far SM seems to be the easiest to setup.

I hope you can figure it out?

Ok.. I'm just on my way out the door, but will take a look at this asap upon my return.

OK, I think I see what is the problem.

Your snippets include the "DIV" part of the html code, which is not correctly being displayed in the editor because of how the editor works with styles. 

The solution I think is to move the "snippet" tags, so they are after the DIV tag.. So for example, in your index.html page, change it from this:

<!--#BeginSnippet name="WELCOME TO"-->
<div id="txt_185" style="position:absolute; left:19px; top:262px; width:449px; height:356px;-moz-box-sizing:border-box;box-sizing:border-box; overflow:hidden;">
<H2 class="Normal-P"><span class="Normal-C7">At Purelake we have spent the last twelve months refining our new range of carp baits
    as well as our &nbsp;excellent carp fishing leads. We have put the dietary needs of the
    carp first and so created a unique range of fishing baits that, in field testing,
    out fished all other baits time and time again!</span></H2>

To this:

<div id="txt_185" style="position:absolute; left:19px; top:262px; width:449px; height:356px;-moz-box-sizing:border-box;box-sizing:border-box; overflow:hidden;"><!--#BeginSnippet name="WELCOME TO"-->
<H2 class="Normal-P"><span class="Normal-C7">At Purelake we have spent the last twelve months refining our new range of carp baits
    as well as our &nbsp;excellent carp fishing leads. We have put the dietary needs of the
    carp first and so created a unique range of fishing baits that, in field testing,
    out fished all other baits time and time again!</span></H2>

(And then also move the closing </snippet> tag so it is *before* the DIV...

And do the same for the other snippets you have created.

If you need a hand to fix it up, please let me know and I can send you a copy of the index.html file that should work.

Thank you.

I will give it a go tonight.

If this works then I will be really happy.

Bye

Hi,
Just tried to move the Tags position as you suggested but my software (Serif WebPlus X2) only lets you place HTML code in certain places and inside the <div> tags is not one of them.
I will have a look for a simple html editor that will do the job.
Do you have any preferences to HTNL editors?

Thank you

I would do it with notepad or some other text editor.
