I've had bad luck editing HTML in text editors. It's supposed to work just fine, but I always end up with blank pages!

Thus, I've been using Arachnophilia (a great careware HTML editor) without any problems. I highly recommend it to anyone having editor problems. I don't have the link in front of me, but it's on my "webstuff" page at:

Just curious, why are you opening the files in the admin/edit after working on them in Notepad? Are you making subsequent changes? If using the admin interfaced editor, have you set the necessary permissions (666, I believe) on the template files?

Good luck,
Dan
