Try pasting in the code which you know won’t work and then delete the spaces and put those back in again in the template editor manually. See if that works and if that doesn’t then try manually deleting (again all the time doing this in the ExpressionEngine template editor) the colons and retest and then the curly braces. The fact that you paste it into notepad and then copy-paste must mean that somewhere the code is getting converted in some way or another. Just need to find out which part is tripping it up then hopefully there’s a reason for it which can be found out and fixed.

Best wishes,

Thanks for the assist, Mark.

4060men, Notpad (at least the version that comes with Windows) doesn’t do any sort of code cleaning. Are you using that program, or another text editor? In Windows I use UltraEdit and Notepad++.

Have you considered using the templates as files option in EE? I haven’t used Dreamweaver in about 10 years, so I’m not familiar with it.

Thanks Sue.  I’m using the “save templates as files” option now and it’s working beautifully.  Really appreciate everyone’s help!

Glad you were able to find out what the problem was. Don’t hesitate to post again as needed.
