i believe the overview can only be tested when the mission is pbo'd and tested as a single mission.

i have a knack with these html files. if you pbo the mission and test it, and it still doesn't work, attach it to your next reply and i'll take a look.

What do you mean "it doesn't work"?    How do you know it doesn't work?    Tell us more about what you did and what went wrong.

When you are in the Mission Editor, and want to see the Breifing, press and hold the shift key while clicking on Preview.    It doesn't help with the Overview.     To see the Overview you must either put the mission folder in your Missions directory, or export the mission.

hey i got it to work but when i tryed to post i kept getting bumped off line.
i will tell you what i did anyhoo.
i found a mission with a overview then copyed it and put it in my mission folder then click it then went to edit then made it the way i wanted it then exited then i went to the editer and saved the mission to single player and click it....NO OVER VIEW.
the way i fixed it is.
i went to my user then copyed the mission then put it in single missions.
then i clicked the over view and clicked "open with" then "notepad".
then i saw the text the was in the other overview then put in my text then it worked.
