Creating pop-up menus in Fireworks MX for use in existing Dreamweaver created .htm files. When copying and pasting the code generated by fireworks - the code is changed, For example

<script language="JavaScript1.2" src="mm_menu.js">
becomes
<script language="JavaScript1.2' src="mm_menu.js'>

However when highlighting the 'incorrect' code, it becomes correct - removing the highlighting makes it incorrect again.

Also - Dreamweaver will not accept any paste at all unless I remove the first ' < ' from
<!-- Fireworks MX Dreamweaver MX target. Created Sat Jan 10 21:46:02 GMT+0000 (GMT Standard Time) 2004-->
where the above heads up the code generated for the pop ups.

Using Studio MX on Windows XP Pro.

Driving me mad - any ideas please - I'd be very grateful. Regards.

i use studio mx as well, but have been spending most of my time in code view. are you doing this from code view?

Pasting into code view will not change any code or text for that matter and should not have any restrictions on what you can put in there--especially comments.

have you tried pasting into the htm file when opened in notepad? see if the problem is within fireworks or dreamweaver.

i think at the end of the day, these tools make life harder not easier.

Regret delay in responding - been away for a week. Will experiment.

I am working in code view.
