HTML Question
I am trying to put together some HTML formatting for my dynasty but I'm having some trouble. When I preview it locally in IE it comes out fine. When I post it here at FOFC, it comes out strange with a ton of white space before it.
My next post will be an example of what I'm talking about. What am I doing wrong? Last edited by KWhit : 02-24-2005 at 07:32 PM. |

The problem is the board interprets new lines as new lines. Basically all the spacing is the br's, p's and new lines in the HTML.

Yup
EDIT: Why are your [br] wrote as [br /]. I've never seen that. (replace [] with <>) Last edited by sabotai : 02-24-2005 at 07:46 PM. |

I fixed it by going into the edit screen and deleting all the white space.

That's probably the XML seeping through. In XML, you can't have an unclosed tag like in HTML. Therefore if you have a singleton tag like "br", the proper thing to do is to type "br /" betweeen the brackets. |

Not sure why the tags were like that. I used Frontpage to start the tables and then cut and pasted the bits I needed into notepad to finish it up. I assume what your seeing was generated like that from FP.
I finally got it to look the way I want by deleting all the spacing and carriage returns in the text. Pain in my ass. |

If you've got, say, Excel, you might doing up your tables in that and pasting into the WYSIWYG here. It's worked perfectly when I've tried it.
