I am having problems with HTML code from the editor bleeding into the rest of the blog from entries and nuggets. The problems are only seen in IE or IE7. It usually presents itself down all entries but now I have one that has changed the ADMIN panel options to such tiny type its unreadable. It looks to be smaller than xx-small or fontsize""1".

I have searched code in all entries and all nuggets, I corrected the entry list problem that had gone HUGE done the blog a few days ago when I found a <span> without a </span>

I have removed format and done everything I can think of and still the list of options on the left of my admin page cannot be read in 1280 from IE.

I have spend so much time at this I am about ready to give up.
But I remember that once or twice in the past I had the options list in admin go TEXT or non variable. And then later majically corrected itself. Is there a way to force that?

This has been an issue for me since I began this process and just cant seem to find any answer other than dont use WYSIWYG.

Are there certain HTML commands that bleed or cause problems with IE?
span and div both seem problematic...
I dont think FF sees span

This is only a problem in IE and IE7

The entire ADMIN page is in VERY TINY mode.
It could be font size="1" but it looks much smaller.

I have triple checked every line of code in every entry and every nugget and can find nothing amiss.

Perhaps it reset something in the ADMIN style and didnt correct it when I corrected the code?

Where does one adjust the font size of the ADMIN PANEL?

Ahh... It ONLY a problem with IE on my machine.
Or as only I as the ADMINISTATOR sees it.

So know I dont know what to ask? )

Wow.

FireFox does see span tags.

IE can get a command in its CSS that FireFox doesn't understand; it's enabled when you try to "fix XHTML compliance in major browsers" (or words to that effect). Do you still have the same problem when you turn that off?

The variable/text problem is a server issue. The PHP code is written to always substitute the text. If it doesn't, either the server has lost the file containing that variable, or the server isn't executing PHP correctly. Server problems are way too difficult for us to debug, though, unless it's something obvious like bad sessions, and even then we usually wind up referring you to your server admin with an idea of what to ask.

I got it pretty much resolved now.
Something is wrong with MY IE.
Cant seem to fix it so to hell with it, I will just do ADMIN with Firefox.
What seemed to be my problem was corrupted html code from pastes into both nuggets and entries. like a <span> without a </span>

I have now spent some time with FCKeditor and it has lots of buttons to deal with the pasting from apps problem, the best button is PASTE TEXT ONLY and there is PASTE FROM WORD and REMOVE FORMAT.
It all seems to work well except PASTE FROM WORD!

So I am over this hump and I thank you and Garvin for all the help.
