The latest build of this product (v5.2.0) was released 24 years ago, which was before this thread was created.

Dear ActiPro,

I have two problems right now with SpiderWriter, I use version 5.20.0610 for the record and work mostly in design mode (this was the main reason for buying this product).

1. Blank lines, I have a lot blank lines in my html code and I don't like that. Here is a sample of the code (yes, it's dutch): 

    <p align="left">Eindelijk is er een cardreader die alle formaten geheugenkaarten kan
    lezen, de Imation FlasGO! Sinds september 2001 is deze reader leverbaar en aan te sluiten
    via een USB kabel op de PC. <a

      target="_blank" 
     >Klik hier voor het artikel bij LetsGoDigital</a>.</p>
    <p align="left"> </p></td>
2. When I insert an image to a HTML page in the design mode, the first letter is disappearing after the insert. This is annoying.

Kind regards,

Marcel van den Brink

Marcel,

The Design view uses a Microsoft control based on Internet Explorer. There is a SourceCodePreservation option that we currently have set on for that control. The line feed bug seems to lie in Microsoft's implementation of that feature. If you go to the Settings dialog and look for Source Code Preservation, flip the option and that should fix it.

As for your second issue, can you explain in more detail what you mean?

Thanks!

Thanks for solving the first bug. I'm trying to explain the second bug for you:

For example I open a new HTML document, the HTML code looks like this : 

<HTML><HEAD>
<META NAME="generator" CONTENT="Spider Writer HTML Editor">
<TITLE>Document Title</TITLE>
</HEAD>
<BODY>
<!-- This is the body of your document -->
<CENTER>
    <H2>Page Header</H2>
    Start your document here.
</CENTER>
</BODY>
</HTML>
Then I enter the design mode and put the cursor on the second line (Start your document here). I insert an image with the IMG tag dialog, nothing special, only inserting.

After this action, the first character from the second line has been disappeared, the code looks like this : 
  
<HTML><HEAD>
<META NAME="generator" CONTENT="Spider Writer HTML Editor">
<TITLE>Document Title</TITLE>
</HEAD>
<BODY><!-- This is the body of your document -->
<CENTER>
<H2>Page Header</H2><IMG height=60 
src="file://E|/Data/digitalefoto/images/sample.gif" width=200>tart your 
document here. </CENTER>
</BODY>
</HTML>
I hope this will help.

Kind regards,

Marcel
