course not loading correctly Posted 4 months ago by Bob in Design-a-Course

I have a course uploaded and when I go to view it I get a message reading "error on page". If I try to click forward I get a message reading "Wait for page to load". The page contains only a bit of text and small jpg. There is no video or audio in the course. I deleted the page but I am still getting this message? What does this mean?

An offline investigation has revealed the source of this issue.

The pages in this module were being created by copying and pasting parts of HTML pages that were created by another HTML editing tool. These source pages included siginificant client-side scripting and many HTML comments. When parts of these source pages were copied and pasted into the new page, in some cases the pasted HTML included parts of client-side scripts and parts of HTML comments. This caused the HTML in the new page to be invalid HTML syntax.

The fix was to enable the option "Paste mixed content as text" in the Author preferences area. This strips out the client-side scripting and HTML comment syntax and pastes only the text from the selected source.
