Frontpage 2003 included pages driving me crazy

since 2 weeks i am using frontpage 2003. I like almost all the new features except one..

The use of including HTML pages as webcomponents, as advised in the book Inside Out, still works but in the HTML code window Frontpage 2003 places all the webcomponents on 1 line. Furthermore the following tag will be placed afther the webbot line

When developping the pages you cannot see, as in Frontpage 2002, every new webbot line starting on a new row

I have even tried to build a new site in FP 2003, included 2 webcomponents with include pages. Placed a table after it and re-arranged HTML and FP put everyting on 1 row..

Please can anyone tell me how to solve this. The web-site i am maintaing contains lots of pages and lots of webcomponent

Thanx JP
 
Unless you specify an area in the page to contain the include, the
included content will appear where ever the mouse cursor was when you
inserted the included content.
Create a table or cell to contain your "include"

I'm not sure I completely understand your problem, but
here are two procedures that make long lines easier to
work with in Code view.

1. Choose Page Options from the Tools menu.
2. Make sure the General tab is selected.
3. Under Code View, make sure Word Wrap and Line
numbers are selected.

Alternatively, or in addition:

1. Choose Page Options from the Tools menu.
2. Click the Code Formatting tab.
3. Set Right Margin to about 70 or 80.

Thanx helping..

I have tried Word Wrap but then The view of the code is not nice / readable. I like to read the code with most opening tags starting on a new row. The nested tags following the next row like
<table><Tr
....

When i put on the code wrap then long lines will be broken and displayed on more rows

The margin is already standing on 80 so that doesn't change it either

My problem is that, like Frontpage 2002, i would like to see every included page / webbot to start on a new row. The next tag starting on the following row.

Like

<!--webbot ...... ><!--webbot ...... ><table><tr
....

What i get in FP 2003 is

<!--webbot ...... ><!--webbot ...... ><table><tr
....

What i get in FP 2003 comes when i arrange HTML with my right mouse button at the HTML code or when i arrange with XML style and save the page

I hope you can help! I have tried almost every option i could find in FP 2003

I played around with this for a while and couldn't get it to work as
you want.

You would think that taking aline breat before a comment would do the
trick, becuase all <!--webbot ...> tags are comments as far as HTML is
concerned. but no.

The line wrapping does take some getting used to, but I, for one, now
prefer it to text disappearing off-screen.

Thank you Jim!

You understand the problem. The strange thing is that this does not apear in FP 2002. Then FP puts every webbot on a new line. Like i prefer.

When coding in VB or C# you let the end of code line disapear of your screen as well. So that is what i am used to...

I am censidering to replace

<!--webbot

with

<!--
--><!--webbot

to get al the webbot rearranged, starting on every new row...

The best thing would be Microsoft changing this option back to the way it was in FP2002....

Thanx for helping me. I now know for sure it is not only my computer...
