Updating web pages

This is really weird. I copied an existing page to re-use elsewhere on the website, changing the text & links etc. But I can't get rid of the original page content - no matter what I do it stays put on the new page & when I look in the code view, I can't see what is causing it. Grateful for your help, as always. (FYI this is the url - http://staffcentral.brighton.ac.uk/vru/sample_bids.shtm

Thanks, Simon

RE: Updating web pages

Further to my query, I just looked at the source view of the page, and there is a load of code & other content, causing the problem, but that does not appear in the Dreamweaver code view - how can that be?

RE: Updating web pages

Hi Simon,

Some of the text that you see in the page looks like it is an image. The other text is contained within the form and you should be able to change this.

<form id="form1" name="form1" method="post" action="">
Virtual Research Unit Questionnaire
The Virtual Research Unit (VRU) aims to provide an effective and comprehensive research grant support service for staff. So that we can assess the service that we currently provide and how we can improve it, we would be grateful if you could complete the following survey.

Also if you just copy the source code of the page you will be able to check the exact code that you have copied. Please remember to paste into code view within Dreamweaver.

Hope this helps
David
