Editing problems

I want to add to my website but the edit button is unclickable for every page except the main page. What gives?

Re: Editing problems

what are you using to edit your page

This doesn't look like a wizard creation


Plus you have the footer at top of your page when it is supposed to be at the bottom as well.

Looks like you have coding issues

You have coding just before the Doc Type code plus you have your body for your main page AFTER the closing body, html tags and your BODY for your website needs to be in between the opening body tag and the closing body tag.


That is just starters plus none of your links work because probably have not made the pages correctly and linked them correctly as well

Plus don't use spaces in your file names.

Re: Editing problems

Jack is partially right. The code is not ordered correctly. But he isn't reading around the advertisement code that Bravenet inserts and he is seeing coding errors that really don't exist.

If you strip out all of the Bravenet advertisement code, this is what you have. Because Kelly has the body tag as the first line, Bravenet inserts their advertisement code immediately. That code includes a DOCTYPE tag. Then, because the body terminator happens before the actual content, the ending advertisements are added. Which is why you see them at the top of the content, instead of the bottom.

Code:
<body background="http://www.dazzlefiles.com/star/bgs/bgdesign2.gif">
</body><center><img src="http://www.dazzlefiles.com/star/bgban.gif"></center>

<font color="#3300ff">Welcome to <b>Monochome Kiss</b>. This is fan site for the anime, <i>Kuro****suji</i> (or <i>Black Butler</i> in English). My name is Kelly. Allow me to show you around. Below you will find five links. First, we have Site Area, where you'll find the technical aspects of this site. Under Show Info, you'll find Information about Kuro****suji.

This is an example of what the code should look like. Note that the content is between the starting and terminating body tags. There can be much more to this page. For example, I added a favorite icon to the
web page, right after the "title" tags. But basically, this is all it really needs. Here is a link to the page using the code below. I put it on a free site like the original. - Monochome Kiss

Code:
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN">
<html>
<head>
<title>Monochome Kiss</title>
<link rel="shortcut icon" type="image/x-icon" href="favicon2.ico">
</head>
<body background="bgdesign2.gif">
<center><img src="bgban.gif"></center>

But, after all that, it doesn't answer the question that Kelly originally asked. Kelly asked about the edit button in the File Manager.

My first question would be, "what are names of some of the files?". If they don't have a ".htm" or ".html" extension, the File Manager will not recognize them as HTML files, and will not allow you to edit them. Your links lead me to believe that you don't have an extension on those files.

For example, the first link, "http://monochromekiss.bravehost.com/SiteArea/Menu", says that there is a folder named "SiteArea". In that folder there is another folder named "Menu". So the server is looking for a file named "index.html" in the "Menu" folder. But I am guessing that "Menu" really isn't a folder, but a file, without a ".html" extension.

You can use that name for a file, but it would need to have a correct extension (Menu.html), in order for the editor to recognize it. And, the link would need to include the extension, "http://monochromekiss.bravehost.com/SiteArea/Menu.html".
