I have something weird going on (I've had it before, but don't think I've posted before). Basically, whenever I save my page, the following code automatically gets deleted:

<pre id=code><font face=courier size=2 id=code>
&lt;script language="javascript"&gt;
&lt;!--
/* BEGIN Advanced HTML Editor */
var BaseURL = "../";
/* END Advanced HTML Editor */
//--&gt;
&lt;/script&gt;
</font id=code></pre id=code>

Resulting in a blank textarea when I try and use a live page. I've figured it out and add it back in in BBEdit and it works fine, but if I don't do that, DW just deletes it. I do have some custom javascript above it that I think is probably causing DW to act funky, but it's nothing too odd. Just parsing a date that was entered into the form fields. Here it is:

<pre id=code><font face=courier size=2 id=code>
&lt;script language="JavaScript" type="text/JavaScript"&gt;
&lt;!--

function processForm() {
document.editArticleForm.articleDate.value = document.editArticleForm.yearDate.value + "-" + document.editArticleForm.monthDate.value + "-" + document.editArticleForm.dayDate.value;
document.editArticleForm.submit();
}

--&gt;
&lt;/script&gt;
</font id=code></pre id=code>

Very strange. This is what that block of the header is supposed to look like:

<pre id=code><font face=courier size=2 id=code>
&lt;script language="JavaScript" type="text/JavaScript"&gt;
&lt;!--

function processForm() {
document.editArticleForm.articleDate.value = document.editArticleForm.yearDate.value + "-" + document.editArticleForm.monthDate.value + "-" + document.editArticleForm.dayDate.value;
document.editArticleForm.submit();
}

--&gt;
&lt;/script&gt;
&lt;script language='javascript' src='../ScriptLibrary/incPureUpload.js'&gt;&lt;/script&gt;
&lt;style type="text/css"&gt;
&lt;!--

/* BEGIN Advanced HTML Editor */
.dmx_btn { width: 22px; height: 22px; border: 1px solid #ECE9D8; margin: 0; padding: 0; background-color: #ECE9D8; }
.dmx_btnOver { width: 22px; height: 22px; border: 1px outset; margin: 0; padding: 0; background-color: #FCF9E8; }
.dmx_btnDown { width: 22px; height: 22px; border: 1px inset; margin: 0; padding: 0; background-color: #FCF9E8; }
.dmx_btnNA { width: 22px; height: 22px; border: 1px solid #ECE9D8; margin: 0; padding: 0; -moz-opacity:0.25; opacity:0.25; filter: alpha(opacity=25);}
.dmx_menuBar { background-color: #ECE9D8; }
/* END Advanced HTML Editor */
--&gt;
&lt;/style&gt;
&lt;script language="javascript"&gt;
&lt;!--
/* BEGIN Advanced HTML Editor */
var BaseURL = "../";
/* END Advanced HTML Editor */
//--&gt;
&lt;/script&gt;
&lt;script language="JavaScript" src="../ScriptLibrary/AdvHTMLLang.js"&gt;&lt;/script&gt;
&lt;script language="JavaScript" src="../ScriptLibrary/AdvHTMLEdit.js"&gt;&lt;/script&gt;
</font id=code></pre id=code>

And this is what it saves:

<pre id=code><font face=courier size=2 id=code>
&lt;script language="JavaScript" type="text/JavaScript"&gt;
&lt;!--

function processForm() {
document.editArticleForm.articleDate.value = document.editArticleForm.yearDate.value + "-" + document.editArticleForm.monthDate.value + "-" + document.editArticleForm.dayDate.value;
document.editArticleForm.submit();
}

--&gt;
&lt;/script&gt;
&lt;script language='javascript' src='../ScriptLibrary/incPureUpload.js'&gt;&lt;/script&gt;
&lt;style type="text/css"&gt;
&lt;!--

/* BEGIN Advanced HTML Editor */
.dmx_btn { width: 22px; height: 22px; border: 1px solid #ECE9D8; margin: 0; padding: 0; background-color: #ECE9D8; }
.dmx_btnOver { width: 22px; height: 22px; border: 1px outset; margin: 0; padding: 0; background-color: #FCF9E8; }
.dmx_btnDown { width: 22px; height: 22px; border: 1px inset; margin: 0; padding: 0; background-color: #FCF9E8; }
.dmx_btnNA { width: 22px; height: 22px; border: 1px solid #ECE9D8; margin: 0; padding: 0; -moz-opacity:0.25; opacity:0.25; filter: alpha(opacity=25);}
.dmx_menuBar { background-color: #ECE9D8; }
/* END Advanced HTML Editor */
--&gt;
&lt;/style&gt;
&lt;script language="JavaScript" src="../ScriptLibrary/AdvHTMLLang.js"&gt;&lt;/script&gt;
&lt;script language="JavaScript" src="../ScriptLibrary/AdvHTMLEdit.js"&gt;&lt;/script&gt;
</font id=code></pre id=code>

Any tips or help on this one?

I have exactly the same problem, on save dreamweaver removes the BaseURL code, however often I paste it in.

However if I try it on a blank page, put a form in and a html editor text area, not a problem the BaseURL stays....very annoying as I purchased this to replace a free javascript based text editor which was a bit of a pain to edit...and this was so much easier, but with this problem I can not use it, as the problem is stopping it from working, and although as you say you can edit the code in a text editor, there will be times when you want to edit the extension, and you are going to lose the BaseURL.

I have found that on Save the page keeps almost refreshing when in code view, it removes the BaseURL on my problem page, but also messes around with other dynamic code on others page, silly things like a include to pull in a title for the page has a break return put in it...weird.

Hope dmxzone reply to this query soon...but as your post was back in March...rather concerned nothing will come of this.
