Greetings,

Sorry, very new to asp.

I'm trying to edit the asp tags seen under the ASP:DataList section.

Not only can I not seem to open the tags, but when I view the page source on the web, I see what must be the text from the asp tags.

When I view the page source in Firefox firebug, I see a section having to do with aspnetForm. Is there a way to edit this aspnet form appart from dreamweaver?

You woudn't have to use DW to edit the page.  You could use any text editor.  But you would have to start with the FTP downloaded page, not one viewed in a browser.

Hi Murray,

Thanks for your help...Here's my challenge please go to the page http://www.dli.com/executives.aspx

There is text under Erik that says '15 plus' that needs to be changed to 20.

But the site is aspx files and I'm not sure where to go to access this text.

In the executives.aspx file, the above mentioned text (15 plus) is not find-able. In this file, it appears that the text would live here

<td valign="top">

        <uc1:ExecutiveControl ID="ExecutiveControl1" runat="server" />   

</td>

but I'm not sure what this is referring to or how one would use it to edit said text.

The above .aspx file refers to a source page...

<%@ Register src="controls/ExecutiveControl.ascx"...%>

In the ExecutiveControl.ascx file, see asp tags, but don't see how to edit them

I have both of these files mentioned above, but don't know how to access the needed text.

Much Thanks!

K

Another person said...

"The Bio's are stored in a database and editing the data is required (not editing the html page) on the server side. This may not be the case if these bios are editable by the website admin page."

So it looks like there are other files...perhaps .xml....that will allow me to edit the necessary data.

Thanks Anyway!
