    Getting to the hidden code...help please!

    Hi all
    I had a web page developed for me in PHP and no matter what I do to optimise it...nothing changes...then I picked up by looking at the source code in my browser that there is the section (in bold) below sitting there...but I cannot see it on any editing programmes.
    All I can edit is the <head> section that appears way down the page and so no matter what I change down there...no changes come through on the site because the "hidden" head section takes priority.
    Can someone please help show me how to get the "hidden" section to appear on a web edit tool? Can I just delete that part?
    Any help most appreciated...finger nails are now very short...
    Steve

    You can only have 1 head section and it must come before any body content. I am not sure what you mean by hidden, do you mean it is in a script? If so you have to go there to edit it.

    Hi Dave
    Thanks for responding. If you look at the original post you'll see that there are two <head> sections. My problem is that while I can see two when on-line and checking the source code option in IE, I can only see one, the second one, when I download my index file from the server and try to edit the file. For some reason I cannot see the first <head> section. So I am assuming it is hidden text. I am not a programmer...just thought if it was a simple issue I could do fix it myself.
    If you have any ideas?
    Regards, Steve

    Is the code you posted from the rendered page; i.e., viewing source from the internet, or is it the actual page code? That will make a difference as to where you look for what needs to be modified.

    Re: Getting to the hidden code...help please!

    Thanks for the posts Vinyl-Junkie and Dave
    Vinyl-Junkie-The script I have sent through is a cut and paste from the live site using "View" and then "Source" in Internet Explorer.
    I cannot see the offending <head> section when using a web page editor.
    Dave - the page may have been built around a free generator but is hosted privately. The code must have been part of the page when it was developed.
    Hope this helps.

    What you are going to have to do is go into your server through ftp and show us a copy of your pre-rendered code.

    Code:
    <?php
include "layout_top.php";
?>
    This is what we are looking for , this is where your "hidden" code is. Locate this file (through ftp) and make your head changes in it, then remove the duplicate code from your index file..

    Glad to know you got your problem solved.

    Next time, don't forget to put code tags around your code. That makes your posts much easier to read.
