Bump!
anybody?

OK this is crazy- the above post is probably more of me not understanding something.

I insert code for frameset into my wordpress document, then switch to visual and switch back to html, not doing anything else, and the codes relating to frameset are removed.

I understand some automated correction or editing happens here, but why?

Hoo Boy am I a noob!!

I am currently using wordpress 3.04 (on a private site) and thinking I needed exclusively CSS code, but now I see that the stuff I have used that actually works is HTML, so if I use “HTML framesets” instead of “CSS boxes” it seems to work better.

What was driving me nuts was seeing examples that used braces, aka “wavy brackets” to delineate sections of code with no explanation for using that instead of < and> arrows.

Guess I was looking in the wrong ‘box’ for answers! ??

I kinda thought that was it… I just haven’t found a clear example of code for a straight css box. Taking your suggestion I find this:

Hope that helps….

Another detail
FF has a ‘toggle’ at the upper-R corner of the editing window to swap between visual/HTML. This is not present in the Konqueror browser.

SO- Babble- try a different browser. And BTW- you should get FF anyway if you don’t already have it. It will run on any platform (except maybe SUN, but who uses that anymore?).

UPDATE
A friend of mine says that the visual editor does not work in some browsers!

Specifically, I am using ubuntu/kde (gad i hate windoze!) and the Konqueror browser, since it uses less system resources than FireFox, but apparently FF runs the visual editor by default- and STILL does not have the ‘dot’ icon with the others on the Edit page.

Maybe some clues??

OK, I am following this thread. the re-install option is one I hoped to avoid. Please let me know if that works- or if something else does!
