New member has problem with New files

Hello,
I am new to this forum and to Oxygen. Please help if you can . . .
I created a new HTML page in Oxygen XML editor v 10.3 build 2009070117. My OS is XP Home, SP3.
The new page did not render at in FireFox 3.5.1. To isolate the problem, I cut the file down and down until I ended up with this:
Code: Select all
<html>
<head>
<meta http-equiv="ContentType" content="text/html"></meta>
<title>THE TITLE LINE</title>
</head>
<body>
<div>
THIS BODY HAS NO CONTENT
</div>
</body>
</html>
It still does not render. FireFox's file info shows it as an untitled file and opens it in Quirks mode. FireFox's "DOM Selection Source" shows this:
Code: Select all
<html><head></head><body>㱨瑭氾ഊ††††㱨敡搾ഊ††††††㱭整愠桴瑰ⵥ煵楶㴢䍯湴敮瑔祰攢潮瑥湴㴢瑥硴⽨瑭氢㸼⽭整愾ഊ††††††㱴楴汥㹔䡅⁔䥔䱅⁌䥎䔼⽴楴汥㸍ਠ†††‼⽨敡搾ഊ††㱢潤社ഊ††††㱤楶㸍ਠ†††††⁔䡉匠䉏䑙⁈䅓⁎传䍏乔䕎名ਠ†††‼⽤楶㸍ਠ†‼⽢潤社ഊ㰯桴浬</body></html>
Pages created in other editors that are edited in Oxygen and saved from Oxygen appear not to show this horrible effect. For example, I opened a new Windows Notepad file, copied and pasted the html from the Oxygen file, and saved the Notepad file as a .html file. FireFox rendered it correctly.
As of today, Windows Notepad appears to be a "better" editor than Oxygen!! (joke). Does anyone know what's happening here?

When I go to File -> New and select HTML file the new file contains:
Code: Select all
<!DOCTYPE html SYSTEM "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head><title></title></head>
<body></body>
</html>
Are you sure the above file was created as a new HTML file in Oxygen? Maybe the file was created or edited with other appplication. That means we do not know how to reproduce the problem.
Please
send a zip archive with the Technical Support form containing a file that has the problem and specify the steps for reproducing the problem in Oxygen.
Regards,
Sorin

Hello Sorin,
Thank you for your quick response.
I've done some more investigation starting
very early this morning (couldn't sleep!). I find that the problem is mostly with FireFox which seems to be getting less and less tolerant with each new version. I tested Oxygen's new xhtml file templates and the "Strict 1.0" worked immediately. I noticed that has the "optional" XML declaration line at the top. So I added the same line to the top of my earlier file that did not render and it rendered OK with the new line.
So, FYI, here's my
nice new page up on my site. So, I'm satisfied with what I have and won't waste your time with all that info you requested
best regards,
Ted
