JohnLearner -> <span lang="fr-be"> (5/27/2008 9:07:09)

OK fine, I'm using a French-Belgian keyboard as I'm in Brussels.

But why does FP 2003 keep adding <span lang="fr-be"> </span> when I use the spacebar? If I remove these tags, it seems to make no difference.

Are they doing any harm apart from cluttering up the HTML? Removing them all would be a horrendous job which I must avoid...

Thanks,

John.

The only thing I can think is that the encoding for a space on your keyboard is different to a space in the encoding you have set for the site but it seems daft.

I suspect it's more likely a good ole MS glitch.

It won't hurt but it's darn ugly. You can get rid by doing a find and replace. 2003 allows you to do a change site wide.




Tailslide -> RE: <span lang="fr-be"> (5/30/2008 2:34:53)

Find and replace won't work for the closing span tag though unless he doesn't have any others on the site...

can't you define replace tag with certain attributes? i just ask because you can in DW

Thanks, folks.

I tend to agree with Tailslide - I can't really do a find/replace because I don't want to replace these things, just delete them. Indeed they are ugly, jaybee, but short of deleting them manually - no way. There are 600 of 'em! [sm=girl_werewolf.gif] "§{#?@§"

Dave, I'm looking at the encoding possibilities in Page Properties => Language...

John.

if you replace them with nothing that's the same as deleting ;)




JohnLearner -> RE: <span lang="fr-be"> (5/30/2008 9:15:00)

Guess what? I just found 230 x <span lang="EN-GB"> as well. I don't think my computer can decide if I'm in Belgium or the UK...

Can I remove all of these things? Or doesn't it matter? (I know I have to remove the </span> tag that follows each one too).

Nooooooo, do the entire chunk.

I was thinking Find:
<span lang="fr-be"> </span>

Replace:
(space goes here) or &nbsp; and all those could be replaced with a plain space afterwards.

Try it on a single instance first to make sure it does what you expect.




jaybee -> RE: <span lang="fr-be"> (5/31/2008 5:33:47)

If you're using 2003 that whole chunk find and replace should work. The only time it won't is if the span is broken up onto two or more lines as it then has a L/F or C/R in it.
