Html Tags Showing Up

[Robert Collins]

Howdy All!

I'm using Actinc Business Multisite USA v 8.04.1.0.0 and noticed that if I apply a html tag, to say section or subsection etc. name it displays that html code when one rolls mouse over that section ( see http://www.solsticearts.com/acatalog...nd_Prints.html)
and put mouse over top image.

Any way to to get rid of that? Or bug?

My apologies if this covered in other posts.
Gratefully;

This is because you are linking to a page with that code in the url

http://www.solsticearts.com/acatalog..._span____.html

Not sure if this will help as I am no expert but the top section of your home page looks like it might have been done outside of Actinic?

Either way, as you say, it displays :<a href="____span_style__color___ffffff______sa_____span____.html" target="_self"> on all of the top half of the page

clicking on this gives you this page:


http://www.solsticearts.com/acatalog..._span____.html

Somewhere along the line you have created a page called :
/acatalog/____span_style__color___ffffff______sa_____span____.html

Try to locate and delete it or rename it or edit the link that the top half of your home page links to as I've noticed this twice in your coding

Hope this helps a bit

Possibly that the code has been entered into the section name field to style the text, when this is applied Actinic appends this name with .html to give the section name. Simply rename and it should resolve as Kev points out.

I think Bob means the ALT text in IE

...However in the confusion it looks loke a few other errors have been noticed

Bob - you currently have one of the ALT attributes set to

<span style='color: #ffffff;'>Art</span>

ALT tags (like title tags etc) cannot be fomatted:

Locate the code

<img alt="<span style='color: #ffffff;'>Art</span>" src="Prints-bar-2.jpg" border="0" />

And change to

<img alt="Art" src="Prints-bar-2.jpg" border="0" />

I think Bob means the ALT text in IE

The ALT text comes from the section name as generated by Actinic ... the page actually exists if you click on to it - hence it shows as an ALT text in IE.

Unless it is not a section link at all

ps: you would be better for SEO reasons to have the text on the image separate to the image and not as part of a graphic

Thank you for prompt help

Thank you all for your prompt response.

No page named span, no links ...the "span" is added after I change page name color attributes in Actinic. I whipped up a couple of screens captures (before and after) to help illustrate.

and after I apply color change ( doesn't matter what color)

Weird Huh?

The top of page is pure Actinic. I just added a nice big corporate logo to top of page and made a new theme with client color choices

F.Y.I. The index page however ( and totally unrelated to this issue) was created in Netobjects Fusion 10 with flash added http://www.solsticearts.com

We also have "sister site" http://www.personal-prints.com/acata...al_prints.html
with an Actinc 8 Catalog that has same "bug"?

Once again many thanks!

As Jonty says ALT tags are generated automatically by Actinic...

To clarify: I was unsure of exactly what the problem was, Bob, but I noticed that the ALT text for the "Fine Arts and Prints" picture was:

<span style='color: #ffffff;'>Art</span>

All other images appear to be ok?

As for the colour "bug"...no idea

Adding the style code there is going to affect the ALT text ... if you need to style best to wrap the SectionName variable between a <span class="myStyle>SectionName</span> and add the code into actinic.css
