Hi,

I have this in a .txt file. :

Footer=blabla bl a bla

But i want this :

Footer=bla&bla bl a bla

If i write this and save it, and i open the html file it only shows this on the foot text :

bla

I dont c the rest on the html file, so there must be an another way to put that & into that .txt file so html can see it ???,,,

If i write & i get the same problem.

If somebody would like to help me out with this problem i would be very thankfull.

Ps: Sorry for my bad english :(

Hi Bahset

So you don't start and end the file with the usual html tags? eg

<html>
<head><title>My Title</title></head>
<body>

Content

</body>
</html>

OK Bahset

Not sure if I'm going to be able to help you because I'm not familiar with the requirements of flash, however if the flash in placed in a frame I would have thought that you would still need the tags to start and end the frame and that you would use the &amp; code for the ampersand.

Just to humor me, add the tags and see if it make any difference, if not, we will have to wait for someone else to come along. BF

Footer=J&D Bulk Containers of 20 and 40 ft

I too am not familiar with the method you are using but in HTML/scripting tems it may be called as a query string and that is why it is being cut off at the &

Try escaping the & by using a backslash

Ok back in buseniss after the weekend ;)

Thnx for the replys.

Well,, i tryd both, but it still doesnt work, i know that in html code with the &amp; it should work. But the footer i have is in .txt format so i think there should be another thing like amp; to write. But i didnt found it yet. If i will find it i will post it here.
