Jim,
One of our users just had a very similar problem (I'd say the
same problem, but nothing is ever the same). The problem was that
they had accidentally deleted part of a table data tag (just the
concluding > of a TD... Manila tries to complete the table
structure, but no matter what the page was blank. I found the
offending part by pasting the page in BBEdit & digging there.
I used to have this a lot myself until I trained myself to be
hyper about knowing the tags were right befor clicking submit.
The auto completion that Manila does is a mixed blessing, I think.
Jeff.
