Asset map appears in page content unexpectedly

Hi, I am using Firefox and Safari on OS X.4.7, and I have created a new page today, which now contains my content, and the Java applet asset map at the bottom. I don't think I inserted the asset map, I don't even know how one would try to insert the asset map, but there it is, inside the page content, after my text.


I looked through the forum and tried some searches, but couldn't find anything on this. Has anyone ever seen this before? Is it a known problem - preferably with a known solution?



P.S. Using Firefox 1.5.0.7 and Safari 2.0.4 (419.3) because Firefox can edit pages, but crashes when creating them. And of course Safari can't edit pages. I guess if I installed the JEP my Firefox won't crash - I'll try that next. But none of this seems to be relevant to the issue with the asset map appearing inside the page content!



Thanks for any suggestions.

Unfortunately, I've never seen that problem before – and a whole bunch of us (including the lead developer) use Macs.


Can you take some screenshots and point us towards them?

I may have seen something similiar (in an older version of Firefox by the way) where if I switch between tabs (one backend view, one frontend view), the asset map is painted on both tabs. Switching tabs again fixed it.


Not sure if that's the same problem you're describing.

I have not been able to post the URL to this public forum but did get the useful suggestion that editing the HTML code directly would allow me to remove the asset map. I'm sure I would have thought of that myself eventually, I just wanted to leave the page there until Avi had a chance to check it out. :slight_smile:


Still no obvious reason why the asset map code ended up in my page though at this stage.

I'm guessing massive Firefox failure. :slight_smile: The JEP is not required with Firefox 1.5 or higher, btw, as its built-into Firefox now. I suspect that somehow Firefox got the clipboard stuffed up, which is what got pasted into the Editor.


If it happens again, let us know.
