Goodmorning.

Crowbar is an essential action for me. I do not know of any other methode to insert EE code into the page in a smooth way. Tag wrapper is useful, but the mini windows to insert code into does not make my life easy. Markup item is wrapped in p tags, that means the use of Remove P tags (Action upon Action)

But Crowbar has some quirks too.  
The action fails if ‘loose’ on a page. It has to be in a text flow in a surrounding DIV. That is one DIV too many.

If a DIV has the Remove P Tag action attached, Crowbar fails.

But worse, if I change some font settings in the body tag, all of my crowbars fail. In the actual document of 5 pages I have at least 6 per page. (Yes, I just look at some empty boxes on this page)

Do I do something wrong? Is there another way to insert code? Does Crowbar play more nice in FW v. 6?

I do hope so.

Please send me a one-page cut down Freeway document that shows the issue. No images, please, we’re (practically) Amish. (Better broadband coming next weekend.)

Dear Walther

I just send you a FW file. Small file.

I hope you have time to look at it.  
I never had this issue before.

When altering something really basic in the stylesheet, like changing body font or changing font in the settings of the document (I went from Verdana to Arial, as must-do-request from the client) the Crowbar chokes.

I do not know which one, there are several.

Thanks for looking at this.
