Not showing content of index page in Design view

[mfinegold]

I read the answers to someone (Theresa} that had a similar problem. The solution was"delete the red code." I assume this applies to everyone with the red coding. I see some pink colored code and there is quite a bit mostly relating to fonts. I started deleting all of it and when I was through suddenly a chunk of non-font coding turned pink. I stopped at that point. I didn't save any of the editings I had done. So now I am back where I started from. Your help would be greatly appreciated.

The content, however, does show up in the browser.

There's a possibility that your problem and Theresa's problem are unrelated - just similar symptoms. Can you give us a link to that thread?

Can you give us a link to the page you are working on? If it's not uploaded yet, please post all the code here.

Hello Nancy,

Sorry about not responding till now. I have been inundated.

I followed your instruction and used the code inspector. I deleted a decent amount of stuff but not all. The Design view came back. I now have trouble with hyperlinks shrinking in font size after I make the link. I wonder if it’s all connected to the code problem.

My url for the page is www.ecmp.org/index.

Please let me know your thoughts and thank you so much.

Michael

There's very little to say except start over with a new document and clean code.   You have too many errors caused by bad copying & pasting + poor code usage and obsolete methods.

Thank you Nancy.

I am not well versed at all in coding. I usually use the Design view. I looked at the clean protocol reference. I guess I have to use it to redo my page. Do I put in the info like  once or for each table section, same for the percentage sign code?

Thanks. That's a 4 year old post. I thought you were talking about something recent.

In that case, it was red code. You're seeing pink code.

As Nancy says, give us a link to your code and we may be able to help.

Everyone uses different code color themes.  Red is not always bad.  

Use the Code Validation Tools to check your code for errors.  See screenshots.

In the Validation Tab, click the triangle.

I did the inspection, referenced the HTML guide. Unfortunately, I only know a little HTML, not enough to feel confident in what I would do. I don't want to further damage the page content as it is.
