Can you put it in code tags please, its stretching into the next county at the moment.

This is a known issue design to destroy the will of designers and usually only happens when using external layout - try breaking the link to the outer layout to remove any absolute paths to relative paths ... if you are unable to make this stick under the design tab you may need to search on the actinic database and manually remove it from there.

Unrelated but you should not be doing that in your outer layout!

**edit **

Although I see the existing non Actinic site is displaying the same page title across the various pages I viewed. Don't let Malcolm see you doing that

wish i knew how

Okay first some apolgies. With regards the code tags, you can see that i typed them round the code and hoped they would be parsed, i realise now this is a forum and that was stupid so sorry lee for the code being so wide.

Secondly, the code for this site is horrid, i didn't write most of it, i was brought in to fix it after someone else had played merry havock with it and i really don't know a great deal about actinic.

So, these things said, i want to fix this, and i got very excited when you said, "known issue" but was then unable to figure out what you meant with the rest of it. I am a java and php programmer, i understand the words relative and absolute in this context but i'm just not sure what you mean with the 'link to the outer layout' this problem is compounded by this code being a mess not entirely of my design.

I could really do with line numbers here to be honest, or an idiots guide, because i'm just not sure what you mean, its obviously an actinic link of some kind not a good old fashioned anchor tag link (right?) but my actinic skills are weak. Although if i don't fix this its gonna really suck for me.

*turns out panic makes it hard to think*

Switch to Design Tab and navigate to the uppermost outer layout - click the yellow swirly up arrow bottom left of the design code window - you will see the code as per your above post. Click on the "edit layout details" and then you may see the full absolute path to the layout .. if so delete the path to leave just the layout name. If it says something like "works best with executive" this is not the cause as the paths are only shown when using external designs.

If the above path can not be removed there open the database and search on the filename and manually edit the path away (I have needed to do this several times to ensure the outer layout transfers to client machines)

Usual disclaimer about taking back-ups and snapshots prior to embarking on such radical procedures apply

Fixed it

Yes, thank you jon, worked a treat. That's really made my day, and frankly saved my week. I'm off now to have a meeting about this project where, for once, i will have something positive to say.
