This Advanced Editor is based on H17's
breakthrough post in the PageBuilder help newsgroup. He suggested using the comments tag to disable the body tag.
Initial problems were an awkward title and address, different outcomes based on what background was selected, different outcomes if a page was created new or if you changed an existing page, and bad HTML code from disabled tags.
If you follow this tutorial, you will have no legitimate HTML Validator warnings or errors, or missing tags, and you will be compatible with MIE, Netscape and AOL, your title will not be affected and you will have maximum control of your page. For an example, you can take this test page to Website Garage.
The description area (under title) will
generate your meta description tags and holds 128 characters.
The closing body and html tags are already written in the PageBuilder code. Do not write the closing body and html tags.
You can fit 64 characters in your title tag. Only the first 20 letters are in your address. This is the only access you have to your head area of your document.
The reason you don't put the </title></head> tags in
the first time you fill out the title tag is to avoid it being part of your address.
