<span lang="en-gb"> keeps getting added
Not sure what I did, but in FP2003, if I type in the Design view then
the Code view shows that the <span lang="en-gb"> </span> tags are automatically added around the text that I type. How do I turn this feature off? For example, here's code from a page that was saved a while ago: <p class="imagetext">Photo taken in March 2006.</p> Now, in Design view if I type the letter 'y' after the word 'March' the following code now appears: <p class="imagetext">Photo taken in March<span>lang="en-gb">y</span> 2006.</p> This behaviour is happening to all my pages. If you're interested in the whole code, I've published the unaltered page which is available for viewing here: http://www.metalvortex.com/myphotos...ey_glacier4.htm My system that I'm authoring the pages on is running FP2003 under Vista Ultimate 32-bit with IIS enabled, and MS Office 2007 Professional. All Service Packs and updates installed. -- Kulvinder Singh Matharu Website : www.metalvortex.com Contact : www.metalvortex.com/contact/ Brain! Brain! What is brain?! |

Re: <span lang="en-gb"> keeps getting added
If you set a local language in FP this would be the result. If you look at
the <html> element at the top of the page, there's an xml:lang="en-gb" attribute added. Basically FP is trying to keep compliant with that by adding the span with a language definition to various textual elements in the page. Don't specify a customization of the language and it should stop doing this. I don't have Fp installed on the system I'm working at right now so I can't say exactly which option to change to avoid this behavior. -- Hope this helps, Mark Fitzpatrick Former Microsoft FrontPage MVP 199?-2006 "Kulvinder Singh Matharu" <real-address-in-sig@lineone.net> wrote in message news:bt1k43hne6lu873qss24ij868u4m0i45if@4ax.com... > Not sure what I did, but in FP2003, if I type in the Design view then > the Code view shows that the <span lang="en-gb"> </span> tags are > automatically added around the text that I type.

But if FP is looking at that xml:lang stuff to start adding the span tags then I think that this is broken behaviour. It didn't behave like this previously. Something has changed to trigger this behaviour. I should add that I was previously on WinXP and am now on Vista. Wondering if that's a clue? >the page.

Still hoping someone has the answer! -- Kulvinder Singh Matharu Website : www.metalvortex.com Contact : www.metalvortex.com/contact/ Brain! Brain! What is brain?! |

If I detach the DWT then FP doesn't add the span tags. Hmm. Interesting. -- Kulvinder Singh Matharu Website : www.metalvortex.com Contact : www.metalvortex.com/contact/ Brain! Brain!

If I detach the DWT then FP doesn't add the >span tags. Hmm. Interesting. After some experimenting I've got a fix for this but I'm not sure why it works. OK, firstly, the presence or not of xml:lang makes no difference to the strange behaviour. Secondly, I noticed that if I detach the DWT, then FP would behave in the expected manner (ie would not add span tags). Thirdly, I noticed that in the DWT that if I changed the charset value within the meta tag to charset=windows-1252, or charset=utf-8, or charset=utf-7 then FP behaved in the correct manner. However, if I chose charset=iso-8859-1 or charset=iso-8859-2 then FP behaved in that strange manner inserting those span tags everywhere. I stopped experimenting at this stage and have now updated all my pages by modifying the DWTs for charset=windows-1252 (which is obviously more suited to the documents I'm producing in FP under Vista). Anyway, I'm happy that I've found a fix but am not sure exactly why it works. I suppose I should add that I know that my DTD indicates xhtml1.1 but the code is being fed as tag soup...for true xml I should add the language setting from the server and not from the meta tag! One day I'll get there but not until I've found a suitable navbot replacement that generates standard code! -- Kulvinder Singh Matharu Website : www.metalvortex.com Contact : www.metalvortex.com/contact/ Brain!
