There is an error with the project notes here is a picture.

Looks like something wrong with Java (which, apparently, allows the user to edit his/her project notes by clicking); try restarting your browser. If that doesn't work, go to the Task Manager by pressing Control-Shift-Escape (if you're using Windows), click on the Processes tab, then end the process called java.exe (while you're on the page with the broken project notes) and restart your browser. If you use Mac, then I don't know.

That's odd - JavaScript is what allows the user to edit their project notes, not Java. Which project was this? There shouldn't be any Java in the project notes.

coolstuff, are you saying that the project notes in question are in Java instead of JavaScript like they're supposed to be? Anyway, I thought it was Java because I recognized that error thing as coming from Java.

Yep. The HTML glitch should have been fixed...

EDIT: The thing that allows you to edit the Project Notes is JavaScript and the project inside the Project Notes is Java.

I'm saying that the error is a Java error, which shouldn't be there because there is no Java in the project notes. Which project was this?

mathematics, the HTML glitch has been fixed; in fact, if I try to put any HTML in project notes, it gets rid of the tags and leaves the text that was in the tags.

I forget what project had the project notes error I don't think it matters what project it was and I have seen this happen before. hmm

Well, there was a project a few days ago which actually managed to put an entire project in the project notes, so maybe that was the project you were viewing? They fixed the glitch which allowed you to do that which may have caused the error.

This is incorrect because when the glitch was fixed, the Scratch team made it so that any HTML tags that are in the project notes when you save them online are deleted. And by the looks of it, that picture is old. It's from what-thetests's project, here; the project notes have been changed now, this pic shows what it was like before (notice the "Learn more about this project" linked at the bottom which is not possible to do now). So the error is a regular Java error which you will not be able to see in the project notes anymore. But if that problem occurs in the main Java Player, then my first post's solution will work. This should be closed now as it can't happen again smile

Are yes when I tried to put a project in the notes the first time the java error was caused because any links to a scratch project get turned into (linktoproject) and another code tag would be edited automaticly so I had to use my own source to get it to work.

<applet id='ProjectApplet' style='display:block' code='ScratchApplet' codebase='http://scratch.mit.edu/static/misc' archive='ScratchApplet.jar' height='387' width='482'><param name='project' value='../../static/projects/what-thetests/1197066.sb'></applet> <a href='http://scratch.mit.edu/projects/what-thetests/1197066'>Learn more about this project</a>

would be turned into

<applet id='ProjectApplet' style='display:block' code='ScratchApplet' <paramcodebase='http://scratch.mit.edu/static/misc' archive='ScratchApplet.jar' height='387' width='482'><param name='project' value='../../static/projects/what-thetests/1197066.sb'></applet> <a href='linktoproject'>Learn more about this project</a>

Something like that...

That's really cool although I am not sure people were trying to put a project in the project notes.

Why bump? I see no need to; the topic has pretty much been resolved.

That makes sense, but I know there had been a few cases where the project notes remained HTML-ified, so I wasn't sure if this was one of those cases.

Like you mentioned, this should be closed now; this won't happen again and the topic has been resolved.
