Saving out a file from BBEdit, for example, an html file type. File is uploaded via transmit to web server, and, depending on the browser, often shows a ? in an area of a space or a line ending. Opening up in BBEdit, I can zap gremlins, and remove the offending... gremlins. Without saving, I open up the file in Coda to see if it notices any further error- that program prompts me to convert mismatching line endings.
My assumption is that I'm either 1) writing my code in a different file encoding, although we don't do anything other then web (django/ python, php when we have to, standards html/css/javascript, mysql, postgresql) or 2) BBEdit is defaulting it's encoding to something different then what we've used in the past with BBEdit. We full time switched to Coda (6 in house coders) because of the issue, so we'll try to move back and send you a file when it happens again next week. I have to admit though, I expected gremlin and 'clean code' to, albeit general, make sense to another coder... and as someone whose ran an IT and Art Department for a large company many years now, I wasn't expecting to have to be the general customer and spell it out in support for you guys (more proactive, less combative, was my expectation). I'll be sure to be more detailed with definitions of the industry terms if we send our requests next week. Thanks Rich!
