HTML File - Saving
I have an HTML. When I open it and save as HTML in a browser, all "<", ">" etc. are getting converted to some text. Here is a sample:
Original text:
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN">
<HTML version="-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN"><HEAD><T
<META http-equiv=Content-Type content="text/html; charset=windows-1252"><LIN
href="c:\skv\txt\TUDstyle.
<META content="MSHTML 6.00.2800.1276" name=GENERATOR></HEAD>
<BODY>
<DIV class=head>
After saving:
+/v8APAAh-DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC +ACI--//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN+ACIAPg-
+ADw-HTML version+AD0AIg--//W3C//DTD
+ADw-META http-equiv+AD0-Content-Typ
href+AD0AIg-c:+AFw-skv+AFw
+ADw-META content+AD0AIg-MSHTML 6.00.2600.0+ACI- name+AD0-GENERATOR+AD4APA-
+ADw-BODY+AD4-
+ADw-DIV class+AD0-head+AD4-
Is there any patch or update to correct the above thing. Is there any IE update that i'm missing. Kindly help me.

Hi friends
Thanx for ur comments.
The above thing( +/v8APAAh . . . ) that I said, is what when I open the source of the htm file - thru IE - view source.
I missed one thing!
> When I open it and save as HTML in a browser
This opening and saving the HTML is done in an HTML editor that is designed by me. Before opening the HTML in my editor, it is perfect. And only after opening, and after correcting something in the HTML - the abovesaid problem happens.
I tried this way: I opened the HTML in IE, and then did that "Save As" to another file. Then, if I open that in my editor and did some change, it is perfect. IE "Save As" does some normalization which solves my problem.
Is there anyway to do this normalization programatically? In other words, is there any converter/commands that I can use to normalize an HTML?
Thanx

Not that I know of. The problem has to do with the encoding your HTML editor uses. Notepad uses ASCII and doesn't add any formatting, that's one reason it's good for cut and paste when working with HTML.
