If you copy into Notepad (text editor) then copy from there, it will strip it to plain text without any code.

I usually do type mind on MS word and then paste them on the "code" page of my EW2. All I need to do then is to add the breaks for the paragraphs if I am showing paragraph breaks.

I see no subdirectories and can't find how to upload a file. . PLEASE READ THIS ENTIRE LETTER BEFORE YOU WRITE TO US! (Note that RootsWeb is case sensitive and the password must be typed *exactly* as it appears here: cutting and pasting is a good idea ... ) When you look in your directory, you'll see subdirectories called "genealogy_html", "family_html", "history_html" and so on.

EXAMPLE: A file uploaded to the "genealogy_html" subdirectory will immediately be visible to the whole Web at: http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~hancockgroup3 or A file uploaded to the "family_html" directory will immediately be visible to the whole Web at: http://freepages.family.rootsweb.com/~hancockgroup3
When you go to cut & paste function, look under the edit menu before you paste and see if you have a "special paste" option; if so you you will want to select the paste as text option which removes all that "stuff" added by the program before you paste.

If you want the easiest way to use this page's coding, just Right Click on the page, View Source. Copy the Code. e.g. Control+A, Control+C open Blank File, put cursor into new blank file, then Control+V to make it all appear.

I wondered if it worked for you. Firefox doesn't have the -- Open With -- option [ at least mine doesn't ] but it does have developer tools so it all works out. I get tickled with people that feel it's necessary to use those blocker scripts. They seldom work effectively. It's like putting a padlock on a gate. They only keep honest people honest. If someone wants in the yard bad enough they will jump the fence. The lock is useless. On 10/16/2012 07:47 AM, J.A.

Thank you for replying. I sent the Saskatchewan webpage manager an email a few days ago asking them how they built it and am waiting for their reply. I`m curious how they constructed the alphabet across the top of the page and how clicking on a letter takes you to that section of the page below. What would you call that alphabet? I see how to include a "counter" and "search engine" to a page, but what do you call the alphabet. If I knew, I could then find instructions on the internet.

Did you try right clicking on the page? It's blocked with : <!-- Disable select-text script --> <script type="text/javascript"> //form tags to omit in NS6+: var omitformtags=["input", "textarea", "select"] omitformtags=omitformtags.join("|") function disableselect(e){ if (omitformtags.indexOf(e.target.tagName.toLowerCase())==-1) return false } function reEnable(){ return true } if (typeof document.onselectstart!="undefined") document.onselectstart=new Function ("return false") else{ document.onmousedown=disableselect document.onmouseup=reEnable } </script> I'm not sure how it works, but I'm fairly sure the OP can't just right click and copy. I use Firefox in Linux and most scripts like the one above won't work but that one does. I couldn't right click as I usually do. I had to use some developer addons in Firefox to get to the source. Still easy enough to do but added a couple extra mouse clicks. On 10/16/2012 07:17 AM, J.A.

It's very simple coding. <Example> <center><table bgcolor="#cccccc" border=1> <tr><td> <font color="#ff0000"> <a href="#A"><b>A</b></a> • <a href="#B"><b>B</b></a> • <a href="#C"><b>C</b></a> • <a href="#D"><b>D</b></a> • <a href="#E"><b>E</b></a> • <a href="#F"><b>F</b></a> • <a href="#G"><b>G</b></a> • <a href="#H"><b>H</b></a> • <a href="#I"><b>I</b></a> • <a href="#J"><b>J</b></a> • <a href="#K"><b>K</b></a> • <a href="#L"><b>L</b></a> • <a href="#M"><b>M</b></a> • <a href="#N"><b>N</b></a> • <a href="#O"><b>O</b></a> • <a href="#P"><b>P</b></a> • <a href="#Q"><b>Q</b></a> • <a href="#R"><b>R</b></a> • <a href="#S"><b>S</b></a> • <a href="#T"><b>T</b></a> • <a href="#U"><b>U</b></a> • <a href="#V"><b>V</b></a> • <a href="#W"><b>W</b></a> • <a href="#X"><b>X</b></a> • <a href="#Y"><b>Y</b></a> • <a href="#Z"><b>Z</b></a> • </center> <End Example> Where each letter begins is a line like: <Example> <center><b><a name="A"> - A - </a></b></center> <br /> <End Example In the first example the <a href="#A"><b>A</b></a> tells the browser that clicking on the letter means it is to go to the line in the second example The "•" at the end of each line is the red dot between the letters you see on the page.

Looking at the source there is no indication what was used as an editor. Looking at the HTML coding I would guess it was done in a text based editor by hand. Excellent example of K. I. S. S.

Hello, I just received my free web space from Rootsweb and would like to build a web page exactly like this one here below so we can post the obituaries we have gathered from building our two family trees which are also posted on Rootsweb Worldconnect. I know a little about building web pages and html, but could someone tell me if this web page here below is totally built from roots web's editor? Saskatchewan obituaries http://www.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~cansacem/bienfait_obits.html Regards, Dan Kennedy London, Ontario Canada

All current browsers are supporting multi column layouts, but Opera 12 is the only one that does so as per the W3C spec and without using a vendor prefix. While playing with a scheme to demonstrate multi columns, I also found that Opera fully supported input element type="number" and input element type="range". This allowed me to use a couple of radio buttons as a means of selecting the number of columns on the demo page. The other browsers default to an input field where the column number desired can be entered to trigger the javascript to change the column-count value. Those of you who have Opera should note the input styles and how the checking of a radio button is used to style other elements at the same time. Yes, some of those styles look "odd", but they are all valid! http://freepages.rootsweb.com/~bristowe/multi-columns.html Barry
