Thread: editing the code

does anyone know a way to edit the code of inside bv. i want to add some things to my index that bv doesn't have as an option. so how do you edit the code manually in bv

BV is a html generator, not a html editor...this is what gives BV its drag and drop capabilities.

yes, but if you right click then you can choose html and it lets you input code, so i thought it might let you change the code also. it will let me change it, but it doesn't replace what's there, it just adds to it. so i thought i might have been missing something.

I may be wrong here- but if you move the page from the server-back to your comuter, you can then open it with wordpad, notepad or an html editor and make your changes. Then you would need to upload it back to the server- DONT PUBLISH.

Now the problem is that alll subsequent changes to the page will need to be done in this manner because if you use the PUBLISH function, it may (or may not) screw things uptotally.

If I were you- I would experiment. Make the changes. Save a copy of the page in a different folder. THen try uploading it to see how it works and then try using the PUBLISH button.

Just a thought.

well i already thought of that. the problem is that i want to keep the files correct. so if i change the page from the server, the page that bv opens up will not match. wich mean everytime i publish the page, i would have to make the same changes over and over.

Perhaps if you tell us what you are trying to accomplish- there may be a work-around.

Would like to help if possible.

Do as Andy has suggested and then
make your changes, then copy and paste the lot into a html box on a blank page, then publish as normal........and there you have it................
