[QUOTE="Dysfunction, post: 935668, member: 51052"] I just copied that into textedit and saved it as html... it did the same as you described... so I did a cat -v [code] mikeMbp:Desktop mike$ cat -v Untitled.html <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/strict.dtd"> <html> <head> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8"> <meta http-equiv="Content-Style-Type" content="text/css"> <title></title> <meta name="Author" content="Mike"> <meta name="Copyright" content="Mike"> <meta name="Generator" content="Cocoa HTML Writer"> <meta name="CocoaVersion" content="1038.11"> <style type="text/css"> p.p1 {margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 12.0px Times} </style> </head> <body> <html> <head /> <body>abcd</body> </html> </body> </html> mikeMbp:[/code] So i edited out the cr@p in vi. [code] mikeMbp:Desktop mike$ cat -v Untitled.html <html> <head> <title></title> </head> <body> abcd </body> </html> [/code] and it works. It's not the mac, it's textedit (which I think sucks anyway) try textwrangler, it's LEAPS and BOUNDS better as an editor. Alternately you can (in textedit) go to Format > Make Plain Text I hate rich text biased editors. [/QUOTE]
