<!-- before adding page body content, if you started your page with an "Add text" box, you must add this paragraph and table tags to replace the beginning paragraph and table formatting tags that were blocked out by the Advanced Editor comment tags, shown near the top of this code, (ie: the PB AE comment tags that you entered in the title text box and first beginning "Add text" box at the top of your webpage) - but, if you started your webpage with an "Add header" box at the top of your document, you only need to add a beginning <P> tag and a beginning <H1> tag instead of the table tags shown above - you should always check the source code of a PB AE webpage to verify that all your paragraph and table formatting tags are properly nested and closed - replace any missing tags -->
<!-- use named divisions (ID and/or CLASS) on each page for, alignment, styles, and scripts -->
<!-- always put name links at the top and bottom of each page, and at each important paragraph for internal and external linking – note that I placed a name link before each paragraph in this document – I can link to each page and individual paragraph for content in posts, emails and other webpages --> <!-- page title begins here -->

WebTV PageBuilder Head Tags
<!-- your webpage title design here can be formatted text as I have here, heading (h3-h7) code, or fancy graphics – Note: With this Advanced Editor procedure, you cannot check the box to have your title included on your webpage, because the comment tags block out the
tag your title is placed in on the webpage - with PB AE, you have to format your webpage title, or use graphics at the top of your webpage --> <!-- page content begins here – you can use all the HTML markup and display elements WebTV supports, including: plain-text, html mark-up, images, javascript, embed objects, tables, iframes, framesets, and style code for webpage body content – use
,
, and
tags to include external files so viewers will not have to leave your webpage to view the added content references.
End of Code. Note: This is the end of the significant PageBuilder "extended " <head> tag code procedure that you need to know. The balance of the webpage is standard HTML markup that you all use.
WARNING NOTE: Please remember my comments above about replacing the PageBuilder table "template" tags that are blocked out by the Advanced Editor comment tags shown at the top of the code and replaced near the bottom of the code after the new body tag! The replaced table tags must exactly match the blocked tags! Always make sure your table tags are in correct and legal HTML syntax; ie, matched in pairs of required opening and closing tags, in proper sequence, and properly nested with each other and other display formatting tags! If you have table tag syntax errors, your webpage may not be displayed, or will not appear as you intended. WebTV is somewhat lax with HTML syntax; but, the new browsers, especially Netscape, are very sensitive to, and strict, about HTML table tag syntax! Remember: If your have problems with your PageBuilder webpage display, view you page's source code and check all your table tags first!The above comments assume that you started your webpage with an "Add text" box at the top of your document. However, if you started your webpage with an "Add a heading" box, all you need to replace is a beginning <P> tag and a beginning <H1> tag. I included these comments in the source code above, and made a simple demo webpage to get the source code below, which should be self explanatory. In the source code below, you can see the blocked-out tags and the replaced matching tags, that you must be aware of if you start your webpage with a header box. Here's the demo source code below which explains this procedure. Thanks to my friend Tomasito, aka
tobeaches@webtv.net, for feedback information on the header box that prompted me to make these revised comments!
Testing Table Code
Begin Top Heading Box Test
Some text in an "Add heading" text box at the top of the webpage. This is a test to see what PageBuilder built-in HTML tags are blocked-out by the PB AE script tags by using an "Add heading" for the first text box.
Looking at the source code, I see that a beginning <P> tag and a beginning <H1> tag is blocked out by the PB AE script tags; therefore, I must add these tags at the beginning of the header box at the top of the webpage to properly match PageBuilder's built-in HTML formarring tags.
Note: you can see these added tags in the source code at the top of this header box, which properly closes the ending tags at the bottom.
Add Text Box Title Box This is some text in an "Add text box following an "Add header text box at the top of the webpage. Since this text box follows the header box, the begnning table tags are not between the PB AE script tags, and are not blocked-out; therefore, no additional table tags need to be added! Thanks to my friend Tomasito, aka tobeaches@webtv.net, for this feedback information on the header box, which promped a revision of my PB Meta source code webpage! |
One other point I need to make to all PageBuilders who use advanced editing methods: you should thoroughly familiarize yourselves with the use of webpage source code viewers and webpage validators! Source code viewers gives you the pure source code only, while the validators give you explanatory comments about webpage code syntax! Beginners who really don't understand much HTML, should use the validators and follow the critique comments as a guide to correcting any HTML code errors; while the experts usually prefer the pure source code viewers, to make their own critique and needed corrections.
This 2002 revision of this webpage is made necessary by the fact that MSN-TV has not upgraded the PageBuilder program since December 1999! I had hoped, that by this time. all our MSN-TV PageBuilder Advanced Editor procedures would be unnecessary! Hopefully, we will soon get a new PageBuilder upgrade which should have several added features, many of which we are currently using with "work-a-rounds" like this PB AE procedure, that will make all the Advanced Editor procedures unnecessary!
Stay tuned to the PageBuilder NG's, folks! MSN-TV PageBuilder will eventually be upgraded; but, meanwhile the expert PageBuilders just keep discovering new methods to make PageBuilder better and better. All PageBuilders who post helpful information in the NG's have really made WebTV PageBuilder webpage building an enjoyable experience for us all! Thanks for all your help, folks!
Since the publication of my original PageBuilder Advanced Editing method using the HTML comment tag method introduced by Uncle Huey, aka h17 (now deceased), Paul Dutton published his "open editor"
Defeat method; and, I have written tutorials for ten (10) new PB AE methods, listed below. Check them out, at:
