i need my hand held when it comes to html.

mick

i know a bit, but the bit i know seems to be all wrong.

could someone post some "cheaters" that i can use for copy/pasting?

ie

image
link
small image invokes link when clicked
bold
italic
text size
text colour

all the usual simple stuff.

...You need your mouth washed when it comes to the < blink > tag....

michael

good old blink tag ... i miss it!

chris

remember, you can just post links and format the comment as text - this will autolink them too. of course, if you need to use html for anything else, you can't do both.

chris

if you are just posting links, you can either use html, or just post the url and format it as text - that will auto link it (but you can't have link text then...)

for example -

http://www.fazyluckers.com/discussion/118/out-of-your-window

posted as text: http://www.fazyluckers.com/discussion/118/out-of-your-window

<a href="http://www.fazyluckers.com/discussion/118/out-of-your-window">this is the link text</a>

posted as html: this is the link text

micky

mick, another thing to do here is that if you see something HTML-Formatted which tickles your fancy... just quote the post

micky

why not sticky this thread for a while?

well, yeah. you can also use "google" and then the googlevid_id, for google videos...

i was hoping to easily allow mov and mp3 embeds, but you can hide js in them...

cajebo

in the 'out your window" i noticed and ajaxed post.

is that handled with coding specific to vanilla, or something else?


cajebo

chris

well, a bit of both, technically. but i guess that the part you are interested in is not - google "thickbox" - it's a lightbox built on jquery js library.

cajebo

hit me.

nifty stuff that chris. thanks for the heads up.

is that a threat? you know i'd win.

chicken:no problem, mick! I'm glad that we were of help to you!

i'm glad, too.. and i wish i'd been able to get back here sooner to thank you all.

chicken.. what a great list! i had googled, etc.. but the stuff i thought was right, came out wrong.

thanks to chris for pointing out that i was on the right track, but a combo of typoes and missing the little radio buttons below the comment window set me up for a mess. thank you, chris for cleaning up my accidents.


meska.. i bookmarked the link. that's a solid, easy to understand page. thx

annnnd..

cabbage!!!! slowpoke. you were supposed to be here sooner.
