Empty your text main define like this

define('TEXT_MAIN','')

Everything you type must stay in between those opening and closing quote which also means you can not use this character, the quote, for anything you type.

So when typing Canada's Home you can not use the ' unless you do it like

Canada\'s Home

With that in mind you should not have anymore headaches. And, as far as you haven't read it already, do NOT use the osCommerce file manager for editing files PLUS don't forget to backup a file before you start editing/working on it. In case something goes horribly wrong like now you can always fall back on that working backup file (not good for the pharmaceutical industry but better for you and your wallet :D )

Nano,

Look good at your own sample and these samples

define('TEXT_MAIN','This is how it is supposed to be');
or
define('TEXT_MAIN','Welcome to Nanospeed Canada\'s home of micro RC.<br><b>You see how I stay within the opening and closing quote with this text ?</b>');

Ok that explains it to my overly tired mind. I understand what i did wrong. :blush:

Made the changes and I'm back up and running. Thanks, really appreciate the help so fast. Now to add the yellow sticky note "save your work dumbass" to my monitor.

Craig,

Every start can be difficult so no need to be harsh on yourself. Just remember to make that backup before you start 'digging' and you will stay a lot happier if something doesn't work out as you expected.

Cheers,

Howard
