Hi- I'm new to all this, but I hope to find an answer to a question. (My apologies beforehand if I've made mistakes in handling all this...) I have new website that's hosted by a hosting site. The website is in HTML. I'd like to make one tiny edit (without nagging my former designer). I want to delete someone's last name and replace it with their last initial. I tried to go into my website and do this myself (on a page that said "File Manager"--it looks like a file in Text Edit [no code except to indicate quotation marks and apostrophes]). When I did, it changed all the apostrophes and quotation marks to "B"'s on that page. I had to restore the page to the original and give up, because the support people couldn't help me. I read a little bit about HTML on here and some other sites. It seems like this shouldn't be difficult. Do you think I should go into the actual HTML file and delete the name, replace it with the initial, and be sure the code marker immediately follows? (I think it's: </b><br /> Sorry to be long-winded. I'm a humanities person, not a techie...obviously Thanks very much.
Your explenation of what you are trying to achieve is not very clear to me. the </b> is the end-tag for the b-tag. it is used as in forums where everyting between those text will be made into cursive text. <b>Cursiv</b> the br-tag aka placing <br/> behind a text is simply a linebreak, it will bring you to the next line. Sorry i cant be more helpfull i am not sure what you wish to achieve
Yeah, I'm not too sure what you mean either? Seems like a simple edit. Is there anyway you can copy and paste your code here?
