I tried to convert one of my saved webpages from .mht to .html an error occured when the banner in the converted version shows up twice. Please help me figure out the problem. If it helps I can upload to google drive and send links to you all with the saved material, either before the conversion, after or both.

No idea, have never done that. But if the only problem is the double banner, I would open the HTML document in a text editor end remove one copy of the banner.

I am embarrassed to say I don't know how to do that. Here are links to the converted version. First part and second part. I can add the original version that was saved as .mht if it will help.

It would help if you told me what the banner is. How does it look? Is it the fund raising blurb?

It's just text. You open the HTML file in a text editor. Not a word processor (Word and the like may do things you don't want). Notepad is fine.

There's just a few images and one of them occurs twice. That led me to find these two identical blocks of HTML. They are directly after each other and begins around line 306. For some reason line numbering often differs between editors. But you can search for Wikipedia-logo-small_Fundraising_2009.png and you'll find it.

I added the blank lines between the blocks so it would be easier to see what's what. In your document they are run together. Delete one of them. If you are unsure you can comment one of them out instead so you can easily change things back.

Like this.

Below the second block is inside a HTML comment and won't show up.

I tried what you said. Maybe I messed something up but it didn't work.
edit: Clarification. What does "Below the second block is inside a HTML comment and won't show up." mean?

It should work then. Can you show me what you did? Upload the edited file here or copy and paste the relevant bit in.

IN HTML and CSS as well as in programming languages one can make comments, denoted in different ways for different languages. In html <!-- and --> surrounds the comment. Point is that comments aren't interpreted. The main purpose is so you can comment your code or markup in a helpful way, like <!-- Menu begins here -->. But you can also use comments to comment out parts of the code or markup. Maybe you want to remove something temporarily and if you comment out instead of delete it it's easier to restore later. Nothing that's inside a HTML comment will show up on the page. It's effectively gone as far as browsers are concerned, but it's still there in the source for you to read or reuse if you which to.

Do you think it makes a difference if my browser cache has been cleared?

Not if you view this locally. If it's on the web, could be, but probably not.

It looked exactly the same, so I undid my changes.

Here's the whole HTML document then with one of the duplicated bits commented out. Look for where I've added several blank lines.

<p>The <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Card_game" title="Card game">card game</a> <b>auction bridge</b>, the third step in the evolution of the general game of bridge,<sup id="cite_ref-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-0"><span>[</span>1<span>]</span></a></sup> was developed from straight bridge in 1904. Precursor to <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Contract_bridge" title="Contract bridge">contract bridge</a><sup id="cite_ref-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-1"><span>[</span>2<span>]</span></a></sup> its predecessors were <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Whist" title="Whist">Whist</a> and <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bridge_whist" title="Bridge whist">Bridge whist</a>.</p>
<p>The main difference between auction bridge and contract bridge is
that in auction bridge a game is scored whenever the required number of
tricks (9 in No Trump, 10 in Hearts or Spades, 11 in Clubs or Diamonds)
is scored, and in contract bridge the number of points from tricks taken
past the bid do not count towards making a game. Because of this,
accurate bidding becomes much more important in contract bridge:
partners have to use the bidding to tell each other what their suits and
strengths are, so a judgement can be made as to what the chances are of
making a game.</p>

<p>It is not certain to whom auction bridge should be credited. A letter in <i>The Times</i>
(London), Januery 16, 1905, signed by Oswald Crawford, describes
auction bridge as first played in 1904, while a book by "John Doe" (F.
Roe), published in Alláhábád, India, in 1889, puts forward auction
bridge as an invention of three members of the Indian Civil Service
stationed at an isolated community, designed a three-handed form of
bridge to compensate the lack of a fourth player. Their key contribution
was the concept of competitive bidding for the declaration.<sup id="cite_ref-2" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-2"><span>[</span>3<span>]</span></a></sup></p>

<dl>
<dd><i>Note: A scoring table for Auction Bridge, from the</i> Official Rules of Card Games<i>, 1973 is as follows:</i></dd>
</dl>
<ul>
<li>Odd-tricks: no trumps are worth 10; spades 9; hearts 8; diamonds 7; clubs 6.</li>
<li>Game was 30 points, and only odd-tricks counted towards game. The
first side to win two games won the rubber and scored a 250 point bonus.</li>
<li>Each under-trick was worth 50 points to the opponents.</li>
<li>Small slam was worth 50 points; grand slam was worth 100 points.</li>
<li>Honours were scored as follows: 4 trump honours in one hand 80; 5
trump honours or 4 aces in no trumps in one hand 100. For an addition
honour in partner's hand, or for 3 or more honours divided between both
hands 10 each.</li>
<li>Contracts could be doubled and redoubled, which doubled or
quadrupled the odd-trick and under-trick amounts. In addition there was a
bonus of 50 points for making a doubled contract and for each
over-trick, this was doubled if the contract was redoubled.</li>
</ul>

Here's what it looks like now. https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1Lcc...bzR?usp=sharing As you can hopefully see the banner is still there.

Then I don't understand what you refer to when you say banner. What exactly is this duplicated banner you talk about? Maybe I miss something, but I only see one of everything now.

BTW why don't you just go to the article at Wikipedia, View Source and copy the HTML from there? Should solve your problem, whatever it is.

Oh, I get it now. I only looked at the HTML and the only thing duplicated there is what I showed you. You mean this, right?

Attached Image


It seems the blurb is both hard coded in the HTML and injected by JS. I don't know if the HTML can have been added when you saved as mht. If you remove the hard coded stuff one of them goes away.

This.

CODE
<div class="notice-all siteNoticeBig" align="center">
<a class="notice-pitch" href="java script:goToDonationPage()">
  <div class="notice-pitch-text">
   <span class="notice-pitch-text-big">You depend on us, now we need your help.<br>Support Wikipedia today.</span>
   <div class="notice-thermometer">
    <div class="notice-thermometer-start"></div>
    <div class="notice-thermometer-fill">$0.9M USD</div>
    <div class="notice-thermometer-transition"></div>
    <div class="notice-thermometer-base">$7.5M USD</div>
    <div class="notice-thermometer-end"></div>
    <div style="clear:both"></div>
   </div>
  </div>
  <div style="clear:both"></div>
</a>
<div class="notice-button"><div class="notice-button-start"></div><a href="java script:goToDonationPage()">Donate Now</a><div class="notice-button-end"></div></div>
<div class="notice-toggle">[<a href="#" onclick="toggleNotice();return false"><span>Hide</span></a>]</div>

<div style="clear:both"></div>
</div>
<div class="notice-all siteNoticeSmallAnon">
<div class="notice-toggle">[<a href="#" onclick="toggleNotice()"><span>Show</span></a>]</div>
<a class="notice-slogan" href="java script:goToDonationPage('collapsed')">

  <img src="Auction%20bridge%20-%20Wikipedia,%20the%20free%20encyclopedia_files/Wikipedia-logo-small_Fundraising_2009.png" alt="">

<a href="java script:goToDonationPage('collapsed')">

<div style="clear:both"></div>
</div>


Maybe avoid mht in the future. Save as Webpage complete instead and you don't have to deal with converting anything. I've never used mht, so I'm not sure, but proprietary MS features are know to make a mess of things.

Thank you for your help hopefully this will work. Unfortunately I have a lot of stuff saved in .mht format that I still need to convert.

I figured it was better to link to the next file I had with this problem rather then open a new post.
