Re: Composer - Lose my ASCII characters when saving

2011-08-02 Thread TheFunnySide
Hi Phillip,

Thanks very much for your reply.  That's weird, I'm using exactly the
same version of Sea Monkey and OS X - I wonder what it is about my set-
up that is causing this problem?

What happens my end is:

- I enter "©" in the source view.
- Upon saving, it automatically switches to normal view.
   Here it shows "©".
- Going back to source view, it also shows ©

When the page is viewed in a browser/email client it shows a capital A
with a grave accent before the ©

I have tried switching on the option to 'retain source formatting' but
that doesn't seem to have any effect.

As for the Charset, I've tried switching the encoding to UTF-8 but
have the same issue with SeaMonkey changing the code back to © and
therefore the rendering in the browser and email client.

About:config - was all the same as you too - so I'm puzzled.

Thanks so much for taking the time to reply though - it's all so
frustrating, apart from this niggly problem I was loving SeaMonkey.

Hi Michael,

Thanks so much for the quick response.  I did try the numeric code and
the Insert character approach but am encountering the same problem :-
(

The only way around it seems to be to use a text editor as you say,
which is a real shame as my aim was to enable a colleague with no
coding knowledge to handle the editing of an HTML email, using
Composer's WYSIWYG editor.

Ho hum, I guess I'll have to look for an alternative.

Thanks again for your reply though, really appreciate it.

Composer - Lose my ASCII characters when saving

2011-07-28 Thread TheFunnySide
First up, this is probably an exceptionally stupid question and for
that I apologise.  I'm new to Seamonkey Composer  however and I just
can't understand why I'm having trouble adding say © in HTML
source view and getting it to STAY when I hit 'Save'.  When I do save
the document, it reverts in the HTML Source to the copyright symbol.
Where's the sense in that? The whole point of manually editing the
HTML Source code is that *I* want to dictate what the code should be?

Am I missing a setting in preferences or something or will this always
be a problem with using Seamonkey to edit HTML? :-(
