HTML repeating problems??

tails007 · #1 (**permalink**) Jan 10th, 2008, 15:49

Hi,

I am new to HTML and am doing some work for my company. For some reason the page in question is repeaing the second half at the end of the page.

In the design view of dreamweaver this does not show up, in the code view i can see what is going wrong and manually delete the extra that is being created.

This is the page where things are going wrong: www.jollylearning.co.uk/authors.htm

The code from that page has created extra parts at the end. In dreamweaver this is the code that i send to save:

Does anyone know why extra HTML is being created and how i can fix it? Many thanks for all replies

          <i>Jolly Phonics</i> has been developed with Sue Lloyd and Sara Wernham, 
          primary/elementary school teachers at Woods Loke Primary School in Lowestoft, 
          England. Sue Lloyd has used phonic methods for many years, developing 
          and improving them from research, advice and the practical experience 
          she and her colleagues have gained. Now, children at the school are 
          consistently well above average on reading tests. </font></p>
        <p><font face="Helvetica, Arial">The illustrations are by Canadian illustrator

          by Kevin Maddison.</font></p>

          <br>
        </p>
        <p> <font face="Helvetica, Arial">When I started teaching at Woods Loke 
          Primary School, Suffolk, UK in the late 1970's, the method of teaching 
          reading was 'Look and Say', where children were expected to look at 
          whole words and memorise each one. In order to try and reduce the number 
          of underachievers, our school introduced traditional, synthetic phonics. 
          Immediately we noticed a huge improvement in all the children.</font> 
        </p>
        <p><font face="Helvetica, Arial">The next breakthrough came from a research 
          project. The children were taught to hear and identify the sounds in 
          words at the same time as they were being taught the letter sounds. 
          By the end of the year, all the teachers involved felt that these children 
          were, on average, a year ahead of where they would have been if we had 
          not changed our method of teaching. This turned out to be an accurate 
          assessment. On standardised reading tests our children, on average, 
          were a year ahead, and best of all there were very few underachievers.</font></p>
        <p><font face="Helvetica, Arial"> In the 1980's, most schools in the UK 
          followed the 'Real Book' approach, where children use readers from the 
          start and are expected to work out themselves how the letters make up 
          words. At our school we did not go down this route. We spent our time 
          developing and improving the phonic method of teaching that had brought 
          us such good results. Results in other schools started dropping but 
          our results stayed high. </font></p>
        <p><font face="Helvetica, Arial">Then in 1990 I met Christopher Jolly, 
          the publisher. He was interested in our method of teaching and looked 
          at the teaching for himself, as well as studying the published scientific 
          research. After that he asked me to write <i>The Phonics Handbook</i>, 
          bringing together all the knowledge and experience I had acquired while 
          teaching phonics at the school. At the same time we wanted to create 
          a programme that was not only lots of fun for children, but also worked 
          for children as young as 4 years old. This was a daunting task but fortunately 
          for me, my colleague, Sara Wernham, was willing to join me. This was 
          the start of <i>Jolly Phonics</i> and <i>Jolly Grammar.</i></font></p>

        <p><font face="Helvetica, Arial">Phonics first made an impact on my life when 
          I joined the reception class at Woods Loke Primary School in Suffolk, 
          UK.I had no experience at all of how to teach reading, as this was not 
          taught at my teacher training college.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</font></p>
        <p><font face="Helvetica, Arial">Fortunately for me the school had already 
          begun to develop a reading programme that later developed into The <i>Phonics 
          Handbook</i>. I didn't have much confidence at the start, as I had never 
          come across such a method. When I was at school, I was taught the 'Look 
          and Say' method of trying to memorise whole words. Consequently, I had 
          a lot of difficulty with spelling when I was at school. As the term 
          progressed, the reading and writing ability of the children I was teaching 
          grew rapidly. I was amazed by how much could be achieved by teaching 
          letter sounds that the children blended together to make words. It was 
          a complete revelation to me. I felt like I was learning to read and 
          write along with my first class. </font></p>
        <p><font face="Helvetica, Arial">Teaching in the reception (kindergarten) 
          class meant I became involved with the <i>Jolly Phonics</i> programme. 
          I trialled some of the materials, suggested things and watched the project 
          develop. I was very enthusiastic, as not only could I see myself and 
          my class learning, but I could appreciate the ease and fun involved 
          in the process. If a complete novice like myself could use it and get 
          results, it had to be good. As time went on I became more and more involved 
          and I now I co-write much of the <i>Jolly Phonics</i> materials with 
          Sue Lloyd. So in many ways, my involvement with <i>Jolly Phonics</i> 
          has been a very personal one. All the more important for me now, as 
          I have a son and a daughter of my own, is that I am able to help them 
          in a way I would not have been able to before. </font></p>

Hmmm ... that's a weird one!?! I've never encountered that before?!

Jack Franklin · #3 (**permalink**) Jan 10th, 2008, 16:41

I agree! Surely that is a bug? Does it happen in all browsers?

Aso · #4 (**permalink**) Jan 10th, 2008, 17:12

Ummm... it ain't valid! 23 errors

Among them, you have no doctype and you've got </body> at least twice

karinne · #5 (**permalink**) Jan 10th, 2008, 17:17

Well ..yes ... of course it's not valid! The code in the browser in not the code he saved which is in the HTML box in the OP

That's what he wants to know ... how come DW spitted that second part?!?!

Aso · #6 (**permalink**) Jan 10th, 2008, 17:26

Ooops! Skim reading posts is a no no

So what you are saying is, the code above is what you see before you save, but after saving, Dreamweaver has added to it (messed it up)?

Ed · #7 (**permalink**) Jan 11th, 2008, 22:39

Naughty Dreamweaver.

Try Copy and Paste the Code into Notepad and saving from there (for the time being), but I'd post at the official Adobe Forums where a specialised worker can aid you in this very subject.

It could also be something you're doing. Since you are new, you might not have realised that you did something wrong.

Trace over your steps.

Ed
