Repairing a Messed Up Page
Sometimes when editing one of the template pages the page gets so messed up that it is beyond repair. Here are some solutions.
Easy Fix:
Rename the bad page to badpage.htm. Then, make a copy of one of the working template pages that has no problems. Open your badpage.htm in Notepad or in "HTML view" and copy the contents inside the "main table" or "start content" to "end content" area only.
Example: On some templates the area where the page copy starts is called "MAIN TABLE".
Look for the start of the <!-- MAIN TABLE-->
Then find the end of the <!-- MAIN TABLE-->
And only copy the contents inside the above notes from your bad page, then paste it into your working copied page in Notepad or in "HTML view".
Fix Option Two:
In this case you will instead copy the header and footer from a working page into your bad page to try to fix any errors.
Again, as seen above, find your "MAIN TABLE" or "PAGE CONTENT" area on the working page. Select and copy the code from the very top of the page to the first "MAIN TABLE" note in Notepad or in "HTML view". Now, open you bad page in Notepad or in "HTML view" and delete the same or similar code that you copied from the working page. Paste the good header into the bad page. Save and check it. If it is still bad, try doing the footer area. Copy from the second or last "MAIN TABLE" note to the bottom of the page on your working page. Then paste that into your bad page. If this does not work try the "Easy Fix" option above.
