Using Web Designer Premium Version 15.1.0. Programme takes 2 minutes to load and then comes up with error message as attached. Have reinstalled programme but to no avail. Site has 29 pages.
Have tried to contact magic but no reply !! Any help please. Terry
So is Xara slow to load itself or is it the 29 page site?
You are quite correct, it is just 29 page site that has the problems as described. Just tried loading a blank site and one of my other sites and they load OK. It does not seem relevant now but I did update my Java programme in case this was the problem. Any ideas. Terry
Terry, what "Java programme"? Do you mean JavaScript code in a Placeholder?Quote:

Thanks for that, have tried that but it still comes up with the same message. I can click on the "OK" button and can continue updating the site, but obviously something is wrong. I also notice the backup file is not the same as the last date that I saved the site, that does not appear to be correct to me. Terry
Tel, the backup file isn't the same date/time as when you last saved the file. Backups are automatic. You can set the frequency of when to back-up and how many to retain. Older ones are overwritten by newer ones.
Egg Many thanks for that, I learn something every time I have a query. However using the oldest backup I still had the same problem. Can I indulge you a little more please. I have the feeling that I'm going to have to re build the Web Site which may resolve a number of problems. I would like to do this by copying page by page from the existing site, right clicking on the page of the existing site in the" Page & Layer gallery" and pasting into the new site. If I take it stage by stage and test for loading OK I maybe be able to isolate the problem I have. Can I have your views on this and any advice. Terry
Terry, when I have such a problem I divide and conquer.
Save your XAR/WEB file.
Copy it and open and delete the bottom half pages.
If the problem goes, the fault is in the deleted part.
Get another copy and delete the top half and then the bottom half of what remains.
Make a note of where the fault is appearing and zero in. Six cuts deals with a 64-page site...
Acorn
Great solution ;)
If you by chance have the previous version of WDP (12.something) you could try loading it in that version.
Acorn I like that, lateral thinking however I had started what I describe before I received your message . I have been copying each page to a new site page by page, saving and then reloading. I believe I have found the problem, although I have not reloaded all the pages. The problem page appears to be one that had a large excel converted table that I inserted. So far so good, it is also solving some of the problems that you helped me with earlier re not being able to delete pages, however I will continue loading and testing tomorrow, too tired after a stressful days golf.
Many thanks for your help. Terry
@Terry, golf? Stressful?
Acorn
Golf is 'flog' backwards, so, yes, stressful.
Just to let you know I have rebuilt the site and now have a 12 page site from an original 29 page site having taken out all pages that I could not delete earlier and the troublesome page. So, many thanks to you all for your contructive suggestions. Terry
Terry, back to the golf then?Quote:
