HTML Tidy Interface
Below is a form for dealing with malformed HTML code that may be preset when editing your documents. These circumstances manifest themselves in numerous ways, including (but not limited to) the following:
- Randomly repeating portions of documents or pages.
- Pieces of documents that cannot be deleted or modified.
- Other random anomolies relating to layout.
In order to fix this, we simply need to clean the malformed code using a program that we have provided below. PLEASE NOTE: Some of the formatting may be lost in this cleanup process. This is common when using this tool, however, please do your reformatting in the provided editor rather than cutting and pasting from Word or Frontpage.
To clean an affected document, please follow these instructions: (It's a lot easier than it looks!)
- Pull up the affected document in the webitor editor by selecting to edit that page.
- Once the editor and the content has loaded correctly, press the HTML toolbar object to open the "HTML Source Editor" pop-up.
- Once the source editor has loaded with the content in it, click in the large box with the HTML code in it.
- Press Ctrl+A to highlight all of the code.
- Press Ctrl+X to cut the code from the box to your clipboard. All of the content of that box should dissappear.
- Click your mouse in the "YELLOW" box below and press Ctrl+V to paste the HTML code into that box.
- Press the "Tidy" button below the box to clean the code. On the resulting screen you will see another box that has more code in it.
- Click your mouse in the box with the code in it and press Ctrl+A to highlight all of that code.
- Press Ctrl+C to copy that code to the clipboard.
- Switch back to the "HTML Source Editor" popup window and click your mouse in the box where the code was originally.
- Press Ctrl+V to paste the cleaned code into the source editor.
- Press Update at the bottom of the popup window to send you back to the main editor box.
- Make any changes or revisions to the cleaned code necessary, and press "Save Changes" button at the bottom of the page. If you had duplicating content, you will need to remove the duplicates at this time.
HTML Tidy Cleaner:
Please note, this tool is provided free of charge from Jonathan Hedley as an interface for HTML::Tidy, a free open-source HTML Cleaner tool.
