Hi Jo Ann,

thank you very much...

since I am an avid SBIer (and they recommend CC) I cannot use another editor...I like my CC too much

I am so used to the Editor now that I rather learn HTML completely...

and all in all the switching does a GREAT job for me, ideal I would call it, if it weren't for the images...

perhaps the guys at CC will even improve that, I know that they are very good already...but that would really be great for me

Thanks again Jo Ann for your very helpful replies all the time

Take care

Daniel

Hiya Skywalker,

Well I truly wish I could help you more on your issue then, I'm unable to do so though as far as the "why" it does it since it's a code/visual problem, but do try the google searches, and one of the really great sites for getting HTML code for things would be:

http://www.w3schools.com lots of helpful HTML code there and lots of tutorials and I'm sure they cover the image placement code. Don't think they will have the visual side's code setup though, can't help with that unfortunately, but maybe someone else can

Good luck on it for sure!

thank you!!

Daniel

Well I'll be ...
I didn't know that drag & drop was an option.
I've always placed the curser where I wanted it to go then clicked on the image, I feel like I'm more in control that way.

Hi Daniel,

The VSD that Jo Ann is talking about is another CC program.

If you really want to use the HTML Editor ...please switch off the Visual mode or you will be making problems for yourself switching between the two. This is really important!

If you need to see how the page looks as you change the code simple tab to the Preview and you can see how it will look. Its okay to tab between the HTML Editor and Preview but not to edit code in both the HTML and Visual modes. Does that make sense?

If you really can't live without a Visual Editor then you would be better off with VSD and just add the occasional HTML code with the HTML tool that it provides.

The HTML Editor and Visual Editor work completely different and its not possible to make them work together so you really need to choose one and stick with it if you don't want to create problems for yourself.

thank you....

but honestly...

for what do I need CC editor then, if I do not have WYSIWYG...then I can use notepad the same way...

guys, this switchability is an EXTREMELY important functionality for me...

you (CC) should really get it working 100 %...

btw: it works mostly fine, only problem is the images...

Thank you

daniel

It is working 100% ...the way it is designed to work.

If you choose to use it in a way its not designed to work then I'm afraid you may strike problems that we can't help you with apart from suggesting you don't switch.

The differences between using Notepad and the HTML Editor for html coding are many and these are just a few off the top of my head:

colour coding of different code types
ability to use templates
a built in upload feature
lots of extra features and versatility over notepad

I've used many different HTML editors and the CC HTML Editor wins hands down.

Daniel - There is NO PROBLEM with the program... It is 100% functional as it was/is intended. You, as the user, MUST decide to use (and stick to) one mode or the other. There is NO OTHER WAY around it.

As was pointed out, maybe you should look into the Visual Site Designer (VSD) and see if that fits your needs better. It is 100% visual, but you can insert code as needed.

I guess what we're all really trying to tell you Daniel, is that it's working the way it's supposed to, and I don't think this is something that will be addressed in updates because VSD is already there to take up the visual editor slack. It's not broke, it's just that you're one of the few people that still uses the visual side of the HTML Editor is all. Something you'll have to work out on your end which is why we keep suggesting the program by CoffeeCup that is now actually meant to do the visual sites. Sorry that it's not a perfect answer unfortunately, but not much else we can help with on it.

Daniel, the only thing that Notepad and CC Editor have in common is that they are text entry software and Notepad is about as basic as they get.

I started my first site in '97 with a book ('How to Produce a Website in 24 Hours' or a similar pie-in-the-sky title) by my elbow while tapping away using notepad.
Then I tried CC Editor '97 and never went back to notepad again.
It's worth using the editor just for the feature where tags and content are colour coded; and there are a myriad other features which make the editor a great program for building a web page by hand, but
(1) you have to take the time to learn the features, and thankfully CC's editor doesn't need a lot of delving into the help file, and ...
(2) you have to be committed to hand coding.

Personally I don't like Wizzywig style editing as I don't feel fully in control.
I used to do a bit of hobby programming back in the days of command line OS and Cobol, Fortran, Pascal Ada Perl Basic etc - I can understand how WYSIWYG and hand coding work differently and IMO until computer systems can match the human brain's capacity to think in certain ways the two will remain separate.
You just have to look at the awkward, convoluted code that programs like front page produce. The code can be hard to edit by hand.
