How to remove faulty html mistake

I’ve had this problem for quite a long time, so I don’t remember how I caused it, but At the top-left of my home page, there’s this: "> and I don’t know how to remove this. If I “inspect element” in safari it says this:

" "> "

So I have to remove that "> part right? how do I do this?

Freeway won’t write this kind of code by itself. so I would start by looking through the different slots in the Page / HTML Markup dialog. Switch from one section to another using the picking list in the bottom left of the dialog, and look for any hand-added code there.

Then look in the Page / Meta Tags dialog, or the Page / Extended dialog.

If all of those fields are empty, then consider it might be a markup item on the page. Look for a little box somewhere that has an icon in its top-left corner that looks like this:

[< H >]

If you don’t see any of those, look through the Actions applied to the page or elements on the page. It’s categorically not going to be Freeway itself.

I tried the above, but still no luck in finding the cause. When I go to meta tags and html markup, there is only one bit of code before which is a google analytics script, but I don’t see anything like the "> I want to remove. Is there any other way? Can I edit HTML at all?

My guess is that the issue is coming from that markup. Freeway does not work within HTML. Its internal format is similar to that of a Desktop Publishing application – much higher precision and specificity than HTML allows. When you publish, Freeway generates HTML from its internal format. This is why you can change the HTML level of your page without altering the layout (within reason – HTML 3.2 still can’t render much, even if Freeway writes it). So to fix this problem, you have to figure out where it was introduced. Freeway will not write invalid HTML under any circumstances when used in isolation. Any time you use an Action or add some hand-written (or copied and pasted) code through one of the various markup slots, you run the risk of damaging that perfect page. Try cutting each element that is manually added in turn. Paste it into a plain-text editor like BBEdit or TextWrangler for safe-keeping, then publish from Freeway with that code missing. See what happens. If nothing changes, put the code back and try the next “slot”. When you find it, you’ll be able to alter the code there and put back the corrected code.

Have you a link that you can share with us so that we can look at the code.

Here’s what’s the issue. You added the entire meta tag CODE in the value field of the Google site verification meta tag in Freeway. In effect, you built a tag within a tag. Open up your Page / Meta Tags dialog, and look in the google-site-verification tag. In the content field, delete everything except the string ‘LuBAfCUohpuQnBg2O7CRuOFTO91spw1h9TRh9tHRAJc’. Don’t add any quotes, or any other code. Just enter that value. Publish again, and your problem will be fixed.

I’ve discovered something; it says this when trying to upload (it must have said this since I’ve had it there but never noticed):

Parameter has no value. The following actions have a parameter that requires a value.

The paramater “Sitecode” “Google Analytics”, Page: “Bio-massage”.

Should I replace the markup that’s already there and replace it with a newly generated one from google analytics?

I solved it, i tried deleting the meta tag that was there, and now it’s gone. Thanks for all the support Walter and Dave.

When you use an Action or a Meta Tag or a Markup dialog to add code to your page, it’s important to understand what that method is doing. In the case of the Meta tag, you got a blob of raw HTML from Google. This was the entire tag as if you were going to paste it into a text editor in a regular HTML editing workflow. But since Freeway doesn’t use HTML, what you need to do is add only the value of that tag in the interface, not the entire tag. Freeway will write the surrounding HTML tag for you, and the result will be a valid page.

It looks like you fixed the Meta tag, but now I see two complete sets of Google Analytics code at the bottom of your page. One uses the “try” construction, and the other does not. If you’re using the GA Action, then you don’t need to add any code to the page, only enter your site ID: UA-10943502-1 in the Action interface. Any other code you have added through the Page / HTML Markup should be removed to avoid this sort of duplication.
