+SixDogTeam Posted April 2, 2006 Share Posted April 2, 2006 I really like the new Tidy html. It puts tags where I don't want them and erases tags that I do want. Makes a lot of work for me, but I know there's good reasons to have Tidy. In the past it has added gibberish to some text so that it won't show up on the page. It has added gibberish to image url's also, and all that stuff I can laboriously fix. But now it seems like it is deleting image tags completely. These are lost to me forever. They are dissapearing just like the old image tags for backgrounds dissapeared. Vanished without a trace. Should I be saving my html in separate files on my computer? These were images uploaded directly on the cache page report page, not thru the "upload image" option. Is there a way I can stop Tidy from doing this to me? Or is this just one more darned burden to bear?? Link to comment

Or is this just one more darned burden to bear?? It's getting rid of background image code, because that belongs in the BODY tag, which you don't have access to. So people were creating extra BODY tags to get around this, which is invalid HTML. Instead, you should use the background image option on the cache edit page. It will put the image info in the right place. As for the other problems, they're usually caused by leaving off closing tags, or closing them in the wrong order.

+Ambrosia Posted April 3, 2006 Share Posted April 3, 2006 So far, I've never had problems with tidy unless it was because I typed my html wrong, which was easy to fix. Just the same, I save all my cache body/html in a word file. It doesn't hurt to be prepared on something that is important to you! Link to comment
+SixDogTeam Posted April 3, 2006 Author Share Posted April 3, 2006 These images are dissapearing on cache pages that were written years ago. I do know that when you edit an old cache page for the first time since Tidy was installed, it takes that opportunity to rewrite the html, and that's when problems occur, which I can then fix. But these images are just vanishing randomly. I'm scared. Link to comment

But these images are just vanishing randomly. I'm scared. If you had a background image defined in a <BODY> tag, it's going to go away. You need to use the background image input field. If you used a <IMAGE> tag, instead <IMG>, it will be removed (unless that's been changed). Link to comment
