I was progressing nicely on my very first website when tonight I encountered a message stating that I was out of memory on notepad and that I should close all applications and try again or something similar....I had no applications running so I don't get it.

Does notepad limit the amout of data/images you can place on a single notepad html page?? I have noticed how small the scrollbar is getting and wondered about how small it can go before I can't see it anymore!!! :) Is there a way to connect another notepad document to my main notepad doc. in order to continue to make my main webpage look the way I want??

I have a little less than 1 meg of data/images on entire website so what gives??? :confused:
I have plaenty of memory left on the hard drive and I've seen other websites that contain far more data and images than mine.

I did cut and paste the notepad html into wordpad and it did allow me to place another image onto the page but when I brought up the webpage(after renaming it) it was all out of whack!! :eek: Do I have to start all over on wordpad in order to get to look like it did in notepad??

I appreciate any help you guys can give me--thanks. :)

How big is the file loaded into Notepad?

That would be referring to your RAM. What the problem is excatly I cannot say without being there.

One thing I can say is this.......


Never ever ever ever ever ever ever use Word or WordPad to create HTML documents. They do funny things to the text. Stick with notepad if anything.

I have never run into a problem with notepad, I even have a 195MB sql file that I can open and work on in notepad, takes a little while to do even the simplest task but it does it nonetheless.

It also depends on the Operating System version XP can handle larger notepad files than 98 SE.

Notepad has a file size limit. If you want to work on a bigger file you have to switch to Wordpad.
