Interesting. I have done a bit of digging on this since and that
mnay be why it is appearing better. Me too about editing, rarely
ever copy paste my code from browser's view source.
Interestingly, and more and more these days, I have been changing
some things directly on the server, so to speak. In CB when the
server files are showing you can double click and open the file
(it downloads it to my machine) in BBEdit. The file name shows an
underscore then. Make the changes and hit command S (Save) and
the CB FTP program file window notes the change and "uploads" it.
It is easier and quicker... but I am reflecting on the possible
effect of some of these practices. Talk about complications
between platforms. Much easier than 10 years back. But still some
way to go eh?
