Hi Justin,
It looks like GoDaddy are incorrectly parsing the comments within the CSS style block as a server side include. Since the server can’t locate the include it throws the error text within your style block ([an error occurred while processing this directive]) and the menu remains unstyled.
Things to try;
- Switch Freeway to use external style sheets - File > Document Setup > Output > External Style Sheets
- Add the Externalize Action[1] to the page/site. This will do much the same thing as option 1 but shouldn’t leave any CSS in the page
- Is this just a GoDaddy preview issue? If you make the site live on this or another GoDaddy server I would imagine that the source code is left unaltered. You may need to have the client sign off on the site using another server (even a free Dropbox account will allow you to host static sites) and then make it live on the GD server and bypass the GD preview step.

I have external stylesheets in doc set up already - should I add the action at the same time? Or one or the other?
Yes I have uploaded to another godaddy website in a folder just to test and got the same results. So not a review issue.
It works fine elsewhere here for instance http://www.easthalldesign.com/dev.7/index.html
K - Ill try adding the externize with the doc setting to externalise also

K - Well Ill see what Softpress say - still haven’t heard a thing from them.
I don’t think there is anything for them to say, Justin.
What others are trying to tell you is this is a GoDaddy problem - whether they will own up to it or not. It’s like blaming Softpress for how your page renders in Internet Explorer. I would follow Tim’s advice and see if externalizing that code makes GD happier.
Now I am admittedly not a fan of the CSS menu action, but the code it produces absolutely does work on all kinds of sites – just not the GD one and that tells you more about how bad GD is. I’d get the client to sign a waiver not holding me responsible for any of their issues.

No problem. I’m glad you got this resolved.
I’m with Ernie on this one. The code Freeway is creating is perfectly fine (not perfect but fine) and GoDaddy is being a little to strong armed when it comes to looking for server side includes. I also think their support has been less than perfect as well.
Looking at the page on your server I can see that the line GoDaddy is tripping up on is;
<!--#fwNav1 { float:right; padding:0; margin:0; list-style:none; }
If you look at the format for a server side include (Server Side Includes - Wikipedia) you’ll see that they also start with <!–#.
In the future you should be able to rectify this simply by opening the HTML file and putting a line break between the comment and the hash;
<!--
#fwNav1...
I’ll raise a bug with Softpress for you as I suspect the issue is how the CSS Menus Action is writing the styles to the page.
Regards,
Tim.

If you publish with missing resources, Freeway will use the embedded “proxy” that it uses on screen as a substitute. It won’t be as high quality as the original, but it will work: everything will be there, more or less, layout-wise.

Every time I attempt to publish and/or upload the sample file Justin emailed me FWP 6.0.5. crashes. However, 6.0.5. works fine with all of my other FWP 6 enabled sites, so I’m not sure what is going on.
Glad to hear Justin got it working though.

Just to clarify on your easthalldesign site everything works as I assume you’d want it to. On godaddy I get auto redirected to the .index which flashes as it reloads in a loop. iPad 2 iOS6…

Yes thats expected ipad redirect is pointing to the index so its going to repeat - I have removed now and its currently uploading - give it two mins should be fine.
I was messing the other day and have forgot to remove.
I am now trying the Mobile redirect as I want the normal site for iPad …

Tim, I’m having the same problem. Did Softpress ever acknowledge your bug submission? I’m going to attempt the same fix you recommended to Justin, but it would be great if Softpress could address the issue.

Is it really a Softpress issue? or a GD one.

I suspect this is the issue (mod_include):
http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.4/mod/mod_include.html
Comments for HTML:
If there is a hash after <!-- such as <!–# then it will probably be mistaken as a SSI include, this generally returns [an error occurred while processing this directive] if used in a comment ‘or otherwise’ before say a CSS include is used.

Godaddy, but yet it could be very easily circumnavigated by Softpress by an update to the CSS menu action. I don’t think we will see GoDaddy fixing this anytime soon.

If it’s a simple fix for Softpress, us reluctant GoDaddy users would be very appreciative.
