<CORSA Chapters> Web page error

Hi Bryan,

I recently sent the following message to Ed Halpin <halpinem at comcast.net> who is editor of the PIKES PEAK CORVAIR CLUB newsletter:

This morning I tried the Pikes Peak web site using Firefox 44.0.2 on my Mac and had the same error.

I tried using Safari 5.1.10 (yes it's an old version of Safari) and the page worked okay.

I looked at the page source with Safari and found the backslash is still there.

Here are several lines of code from their home page:

START_QUOTE_3
	<div id="sidebar">
		<!-- #BeginEditable "sidebar" -->
		
		<!-- SIDEBAR HEADER-->
		<!--<h3 class="style14">What's Next?</h3>
		<h3 class="style8">Christmas Party<br /></h3>
		<h3 class="style14"><br /></h3>-->
		
		<h3 class="style12"> </h3>
		<h3 class="style12">
		<a href="tristate2016\2016tristate.htm"><img id="img2" alt="Tri-State Information" height="70" src="button9.jpg" style="border: 0" width="330" /></a>
	ETC ETC
END_QUOTE_3

I think that last line is the only place a backslash appears in the code.

Apparently the software tool Ed is using to edit the Pikes Peak web page is Microsoft expressions.
Does this give him the ability to change a backslash in the code to a forward slash?

Thanks for any help.
