I was trying to help out a friend by editing his website but I think I screwed up big time. I downloaded the entire website via ftp and altered the txt necessary on the home page in Dreamweaver. Then I saved it and uploaded the files.

Now when I go to the website a popup disabling activex shows up. When I click enable activex it shows something strange in the top left corner. emty.....emty.... WHat the heck happened?

I have made a backup of the entire website before I altered any files. But when I upload it and test it out it still does the same thing. I tried a restore point on the hosting shell and some files fail to restore. I'm stuck. Everything else seems to work fine except for that emty... emty... thing.
 
The website looks normal except for:

a) Now it blocks active X content only on the home page that I edited.
b) when unblocked the website looks normal except it says emty....emty.... in the top left corner.

I tried running the site local and it does the same thing. Its hosted by superpages.
 
When you modified the site - did you do it with Dreamweaver's WYSIWYG mode? Or did you just modify the code directly? It sounds like DW added some javascript or something along those lines.

Depending on how the site was originally created, and how you're modifying it, DW could have decided to 'fix' the code for you, possibly fixing broken comments, or including new JS that it thought you needed.

Also, have you tried uploading the files from a normal FTP client? Or are you using DW's built in FTP?
 
I will see if I can find out if Dreamweaver altered the files. I'm using filezilla for uploading.

Also, this website uses css and I'm not to familiar with it. I'm wondering if this is the problem.
 
CSS could not be the problem. What's the URL? We can take a look.
 
On a second look at the index.html file I found a bunch of JS code at the bottom. I deleted it and then tested it and it seems to be gone. Let me know if you see what I'm talking about.
 
i don't quite understand why the text is being printed - though it does look like the javascript is messed up. It looks like the function P7_setPM is not closed correctly...

sorry i can't go into more detail, i should get back to work :eek:

Click to expand...

Well it looks like it was what you said. I removed that JS code at the bottom and it seems to have fixed it. I should have known form the start. Thanks for the help. :)
