The latest version of CodeCharge Studio seems to royally mess up Framesets!
Has anyone else experienced this problem where CCS takes it upon itself to
edit code that has been entered in manually? For example, if I type in:
<frameset rows="50%,50%">
<frameset cols="50%,50%">
<frame src="frame_a.htm" />
<frame src="frame_b.htm" />
</frameset>
<frameset cols="150,100%">
<frame src="frame_c.htm" />
<frame src="frame_d.htm" />
</frameset>
</frameset>
CCS immediately takes out part of it during regeneration leaving only:
<frameset rows="50%,50%">
<frame src="frame_a.htm" />
<frame src="frame_b.htm" />
</frameset>
<frameset cols="150,100%">
<frame src="frame_c.htm" />
<frame src="frame_d.htm" />
</frameset>
</frameset>
which is invalid. It doesn't seem to like two rows that each have two
columns. How can this CCS "feature" of automatically butchering simple HTML
be disabled?

My only real gripe with CCS is the way it likes to rewrite the html template
and mangle it. The support folks write such things off as 'you can't do
that, it breaks the Control' or 'that behavior is by design.' I have no
idea what design tradeoffs they face and maybe there's just too much to do
and too few to do it, but the html editing really is primitive by today's
standards. I want an evolving and improving CodeCharge that makes them
money and keeps them in business and me too. But the niggling aggravating
quirks need attention, too. Once upon a time, the html issues were being
blamed on the Microsoft HTML editor's limitations. That excuse goes back to
the version 1 days. I don't know if there's a different HTML editor
employed now or if it's still the one from MS. I just wish it was a whole
lot smarter than it is.

Thanks Don,
I agree fully and have been using CCS since version 1 too and have had the
same discussions with them about the HTML editor. There was a major bug
that caused data loss too that they blamed on the editor: in select
dropdowns, CCS added "selected" to the first default no-value entry so in
Internet Explorer, which apparently looks from the bottom up for "selected"
it was okay but other broswers look from the top down so the default
"selected" would be found, ignoring any real valid data causing it to be
lost when submitted. If I deleted the default "submitted" CCS in its
infinite wisdom would put it back! That was also in version 1 and to date,
it has NOT been fixed ever though it causes data loss!
Back to my original problem, what I finally had to do was to create a label
and add the code for the upper frameset there. This absolutely shouldn't
have been necessary and there needs to be a way to disable CCS "fixing" code
on its own when there is nothing wrong with it. I can see it highlighting
code that it things is in error but not to just remove it!
