RH8 - HTML Design view is not displaying what the HTML specifies.

I recently edited a template (Master page) that includes tables. Now the design view of the master page does not correctly display the HTML for that page

and the design view of each page that uses that Master Page displays blank tables. The HTML view includes the content, but the design view does not.

From the "Master pages" RH help topic:

When you create a topic using a master page, the body content is placed in the resulting topic. If you apply a master page to an existing topic, the body content is ignored.

Also:

The layout information defined in the master pages is not visible in Design view...You can see the layout when you generate output or a preview.

Good luck,

Leon

I understand the use of Master Pages. The topics were already associated with the Master page that included tables and the

Design view displayed the content perfectly. It wasn't until I edited the color of the cell borders in the Master page that everything went haywire.

As it is now, the design view is completely unusable for me. This adds a layer of inconvenience that is time consuming. I'm just trying to get the design view back to what it was earlier today.

Hi,

How did you change the color? Did you use the WYSIWYG or did you edit it in HTML view? Can you post the HTML of the table so we can have a look?

Greet,

Willam
