Forum Moderators: phranque
im reviewsing their site and they seem to be using a CMS application to manage the content on their site, then they have the web developers who do the back end development.
i noticed that on most pages managed by the CMS application that it throws in an extra:
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN">
<html>
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8">
<meta content="MSHTML 6.00.2900.3020" name="GENERATOR">
<link type="text/css" title="/iw/ewebeditpro20/ektnormal.css" href="/iw/ewebeditpro20/ektnormal.css" rel="stylesheet">
<title></title>
</head>
this is in conjunction to the lines that are already at the top of the page from the orignial design template...
could this cause any problems? i am going to reccomend that it be manually removed from every page becuase it is unnecessary, adds extra lines of code and is not W3C compliant... am i correct in my assumptions?
manually removed from every page
Better to figure out what's generating the redundant lines and stop it at source.
Duplicate <head> stuff can indeed cause weirdness so it's worth some effort to clean up.
when a new page is created in this "teamsite" it creates the <head><title>....etc.... then that content sits in a html template that already has that in lines 1-10.... so in line 75-85 of the page code it gets duplicated becuase the CMS page adds it....
eWebEdit Pro is not configured correctly. It thinks it is editing whole documents instead of HTML snippets.
The real solution is to fix that problem, although a serious amount of content remediation is in order within the CMS.
Fix it in the CMS, otherwise the problem will crop back up as content is updated.
i see what you mean... but this version of teamsite is using ContentCenter Professional... so that change needs to be made in the administration area of TeamSite, not in the content area....
Correct. But if it's not fixed, you'll be swimming upstream.
If you have control of the presentation templates, you could filter out the bad stuff during page generation...not ideal, but a workable band-aid.
ok... and after further digging i found that the <html><head><body> tags were triplicated on the page.... all from different areas that are used via ContentCenter Pro... not good.
Right. You'll have that for every (graphically) editable field.
next, is the <font> tag now officially deprecated?
