I was wondering if someone could help me with an error I have when creating an HTML page. When I run the page, I receive an error "Message from webpage" "error loading of the file". When I go back to look at the HTML code, I always see that the HTML composer (AppStudio) does something screwy with how the line breaks after 34000 or so characters. Can someone tell me how I can get around the GUI doing this? I've tried removing the line break manually, but that does not seem to do anything. Unfortunately I don't know enough about HTML to troubleshoot very well. I have a page with 13 charts and about 16 different controls. In the code below, I recreated this error by putting a bunch of dynamic controls from the car.mas file. Warning, AppStudio likes to crash of you try to "open" this file after saving, so save any work beforehand.

Sorry to say, but several of us believe that App Studio v8.0.08 is not a usable development tool. The fact that HTML Composer does not put line-breaks at the end of closing HTML tags is one of many reasons why we feel this way.
One possible solution: While we were test-driving App Studio v8.0.08, I noticed that there were no line-breaks, so I opened the file in my favourite text editor (EditPlus), then opened a new blank HTML file in EditPlus, then selected all lines from the App Studio-opened file, copied and pasted into the new empty file. Suddenly it seemed hidden line-breaks were recognized by EditPlus. Then I copied the code from the second file back to the first file and saved.
Then I tested opening the file in the GUI and despite the warning message it seemed to open properly. Of course the line-breaks disappear and you might have to do the while rigmarole again.
This is one of the many reasons we stuck with Dev Studio v8.0.08.

Thanks Francis. I have indeed tried that with my text editor (UltraEdit) and it didn't seem to have any effect on it. I even tries to run the "HTML Tidy" function in UE and it didn't work. Maybe I'll have to check out EditPlus. Frustrating. Thanks

I would, but I'm a new guy who has most of my experience using AppStudio. I think we're close enough to 8105 or 82 that I'll try to forgo learning a "new" application Thanks

If you want to view/edit the text, try doing so from the web rather than through App Studio. I'm on 8.1.05M, but that works better for me.
Then, if you want to make it a little more readable, copy to Notepad++, or your favorite too, and do a regular expression search and replace with something like the following:
Search:(>) *(<)
Replace:\1\r\n\2
Doing so will, in my version, break one Javascript string near the top of the file. You'll have to re-join those two lines, and then you should be on your way. . .
Note to IBI: We shouldn't have to do this. It makes this customer cross.
