Hi, all. I have been developing a webzine site using the current Freeway Express, and I am in the process of pasting and copying text (generally Neo Office, current) into my pages and then cross-linking them. I check each page on the browser view using the current Firefox, both the page and all its links. I now have a page that blinks in this browser. It does not blink in Safari. The previous pages do not blink in either. I erased everything on the blinking page, copied in a “test message”, and reviewed it on the browser - no blinking now. Is there something I might have done wrong in entering text and linking? There have been messages about blinking text in the past, but those issues apparently were handled largely in Pro (could be wrong about that; seemed so). I’ll see what happens in a bit. Any thoughts? Thanks. David (David Block)

Well, now I have erased all the copied text as well as the previous links, recopied the text and re-established the links, and everything is fine. Any thoughts on what I did wrong, so I don’t repeat? Many thanks. David Block

the process of pasting and copying text
I dont know about Neo (it may be similar) but text copied from Word carries with it a whole load of proprietary code that can screw your page up.
The best advice here is to copy from Neo into a document in a text editor like BBedit (which removes that code) and then recopy and paste into FW

Thank you very much. Similar to that game we played as teenagers - you give somebody a message who then repeats it to somebody else and so on for 8 or 10 reps - just allowing one rendition each time - and invariably blinking text, so to speak, was the outcome. Or, as Jimmy Durante used to say, “Everybody’s gotta get into da act, and insert da proprietary code! Inka dinka dink.”
Getting a bit punchy, but building a lot of respect for Freeway and its community. I’ll try your solution.
