I've wrapped several Snitz Forum files in html code to center the forum and add the .ico icon. Html wrapped files include: inc_header, default, forum, and several others.

Could somebody view the source code for my forum:
http://www.hostowners.com/campfire/default.asp
and let me know if its okay?

What is it we are supposed to look for? The forum presents itself well...

My philosophy: If you like it and it works, don't fix it.

You need to clean your HTML up a bit; you've got opening & closing html, head and body tags all over the place.

gary b: When viewing the forum front page in IE, click View, Source to see how the html is presented.

Shaggy: Here is the html that I've placed before the inc_header.asp. A shorter version is used without the .ico reference in default.asp, forum.asp, topic.asp and other files.
-------------------------
<html>
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8">
<title>Host Camper Owners</title>
<link rel="shortcut icon" href="host_icon.ico" type="image/x-icon">

<style type="text/css">

</style>
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="hostcamp.css">
</head>

<body>
<center>
<div id="wrapper">
<div id="wrapleft">

---------------------------
The above html is placed just before the opening <% statement.
And I've placed the appropriate closing html statements just after the %> at the end of the forum file.
(The div tags are centering the forum and setting it's width.)

Apparently, the forum writes it's own html statements and the View,Source shows multiple html statements. It seems to work and achieves my goals but I'm totally in the dark about the reliability and safety of what I'm doing.
Is it okay to use the html wrapping in the above manner?

You need to edit inc_header.asp

If you search for:
'## START - REMOVAL, MODIFICATION OR CIRCUMVENTING THIS CODE WILL VIOLATE THE SNITZ FORUMS 2000 LICENSE AGREEMENT

The lines above that are:

Response.Write "<html>" & vbNewline & _
vbNewline & _
"<head>" & vbNewline

Underneath that you can add:

Response.Write "<meta http-equiv=""Content-Type"" content=""text/html; charset=utf-8"">"

You can then edit:

Response.Write "<title>" & GetNewTitle(strScriptName) & "</title>" & vbNewline

Into:
Response.Write "<title>Host Camper Owners</title>" & vbNewline
(This example would remove dynamic titles! Keep that in mind!!!)

etc. etc.

Cause, like Shaggy said, you have multiple instances of <html> <head> <body>, which might
result in problems as far as certain browsers. Also Search Engine spiders will not appreciate
it at all, which might result in lower rankings on Google.

So, definitely remove the additions and replace/add the code in inc_header.asp

ILLHILL: Thanks for that tip - that is what I needed to know.
fyi, using FF, IE and Safari browsers, it appears okay using it (the html) as posted.

edit:
(SEO becomes a lot more pointed with the html wrap.)
