Is it Frontpage changing my input tag or am I crazy

[DukeOfPrunes]

Hi. I have a file with this text in it:

<input name="go" type="image" src="images/submit.gif" />

When I drag the file to Frontpage 2000 to upload it to the web server
the text in the file on the server changes to:

<input name="go" type="image" src="images/submit.gif" width="53"
height="22" />

The width and height attributes make the page fail xhtml validation
which kinda sucks. Is Frontpage modifying the tag? If so, is there a
way to make it stop? Does Frontpage 2003 do the same thing?

I'm not an xman until I'm xhtml validated.

No, you're not going crazy.

Even with "Tools | Page Options | HTML Source | Preserve existing HTML"
checked FP2002 is adding the height and width values. I also tried editing
it out by using "Open With | Notepad" and when I saved the file, those bits
were back.

About all I can suggest is, if you have access via the file system on the
web server, edit it there, outside of FP. As long as you leave the file
alone on your development side, it should stay correct.

That really stinks, doesn't it.

I haven't switched to FP2003 yet, so I'm not sure if the problem persists
there as well.

Good luck!

FP2003 handles it correctly (reformat as XML) and does not add the attributes
