Hi,

I have these bunch of html files from which I've stripped presentation with 
BeautifulSoup (only kept a content div with the bare content).

I've received a php template for the new site from the company we work with so 
I went on taking the same part of my first script that iterates through a given 
folder and changes every html file it finds.

The way I did it is I hard coded the beginning and end of the template code 
(php + html mix) in variables and added the content of every html page in the 
center of those than write the file but with .php instead of .html and removing 
the .html version.

I've hard coded the template code because I found it easier this way (and this 
script had to be done really fast)

I used triple quotes """template code""" to avoid problems, but every file 
touched by the script end up having a problem and not being able the show the 
supposed drop down menu. Now the code the company did for this drop down is 
pretty esoteric:

<script type="text/javascript">/* <![CDATA[ */qmu=true;var 
qm_si,qm_li,qm_lo,qm_tt,qm_th,qm_ts,qm_la;var qp="parentNode";var 
qc="className";var qm_t=navigator.userAgent;var

qm_s2=qm_s&&window.XMLHttpRequest;var qm_n=qm_t.indexOf("Netscape")+1;var 
qm_v=parseFloat(navigator.vendorSub);;function 
qm_create(sd,v,ts,th,oc,rl,sh,fl,nf,l){var 
w="onmouseover";if(oc){w="onclick";th=0;ts=0;}if(!l){l=1;qm_th=th;sd=document.getElementById("qm"+sd);if(window.qm_pure)sd=qm_pure(sd);sd[w]=function(e){qm_kille(e)};document[w]=qm_bo;sd.style.zoom=1;if(sh)x2("qmsh",sd,1);if(!v)sd.ch=1;}else

a=b[qc];if(add){if(a.indexOf(name)==-1)b[qc]+=(a?' ':'')+name;}else 
{b[qc]=a.replace(" "+name,"");b[qc]=b[qc].replace(name,"");}};function 
qm_kille(e){if(!e)e=event;e.cancelBubble=true;if(e.stopPropagation&&!(qm_s&&e.type=="click"))e.stopPropagation();}/*
 ]]> */</script>

I wonder what program creates such unreadable code. Well, anyway, a javascript 
error pops-up somewhere in that code after I run my script on the files.

My idea is that the script encounters a unicode character and doesn't know how 
to act with it and changes it to something else which mess up the whole thing.

Do you people thing this sound like a good explanation. If it's likely to be 
the problem, is having my strings u"""bla bla bla""" would fix that?

Thanks in advance
