HTML - Godaddy headers missing after save

Godaddy sucks. I know. I just got hired in and this is what they are using to host a site.

Anyway, I don't have much experience in HTML, and I can't figure this problem out by myself.

The problem is, each page on this website has a header at the top that randomly uses 1 of 8 pictures in the "images" folder. If for whatever reason I have to edit one of the .html files, that header goes missing once I save it. It simply just doesn't ever appear again on the site. It isn't something I've done, as far as I can tell, the same thing happens if I open an .html file, DON'T edit it, and save it.

Does anyone know what this may be, or how I may troubleshoot it? Thanks for any help!
 
Are you using their editor to manipulate the pages? I'm wondering if the header is non-standard and they are stripping it out when you save, or something along those lines. I assume you have reopened the files again after saving and confirmed that the html markup for the headers is physically missing?
 
That's the strange part. As far as I can tell, having looked at both a before and after of the source code side-by-side, there's no difference between the two.
 
Related to what Markbnj was asking: What editor are you using to look at the files? Are you retrieving them from FTP? Make sure you use ASCII mode and not binary. Sounds like it might be a linux/windows CR/LF issue. Or your editor is putting a line break where it shouldnt be.
 
I'm only using the editor right on the GoDaddy site, but it does sound likely that this may be what's breaking the pages. I'm not using FTP. Is there a free editor out there, maybe similar to Dreamweaver, that can display a page as I work on it?

I've never found I need anything more than a text editor and a browser. Just refresh the local page in the browser after you've made a change.
