Message 888436 - Posted: 26 Apr 2009, 9:10:41 UTC


Hello,

I created a new team.

I wrote the description.

But the formatting of the text don't work.

And no 'RETURN'.

And I can't insert [ img ] 's.


Also in the profile - if I insert at the top or on the bottom some space-lines.. They wouldn't saved.
After in the profile overview the spaces are not there.
In past this space-lines were saved.


Is there something broken?
Or why it don't work?


Thanks a lot!

Dont use BBCodes. You have to use html codes.

Thank you! It worked.. :-)

But this HTML tags are new for me..

'b' and 'i' work similar like the BBC.

<br> for a 'RETURN'.


But not the <img>..

<img src="http://www.boincstats.com/signature/user_1083463.gif" alt="Sutaru Tsureku Stats">

..it's correct?
(but the 'title' instead of 'alt' don't work?)


Then there are also:
<a> (hyperlink)
<p> (paragraph)
<pre> (preformatted)

For what's this and how it work?


http://setiathome.berkeley.edu/html.php
No other HTML tags work?


Thanks a lot!


BTW.
Yes.. - I left SETI.Germany because of different thoughts.

"alt" is a placeholder when the image can't be displayed.

Then there are also:
<a> (hyperlink)
like [url=... ]

<p> (paragraph)
like a paragraph in msword

<pre> (preformatted)
same as [pre][/pre]

Try googling for "HTML reference". Here is a German one.

Gruß,
Gundolf

Use single quotes in the image tag: <img src='http://www.boincstats.com/signature/user_1083463.gif'>

Thanks!


Now..

I think the '&' is broken.

I wanted to insert an URL with 2 '&', but after saving the webside made a 'funny' URL from it.

An extension with 'amp':
'&amp'


I wanted to insert this URL in my profile:

http://www.allprojectstats.com/perday.php?mode=1&projekt=15&id=138633





Here in this post it work, but in my profile the URL is after saving:

http://www.allprojectstats.com/perday.php?mode=1&amp;projekt=15&amp;id=138633



Then it look like:




It could be reported to some one (which can solve the prob ;-) ?

The '&' is not broken, it's a special HTML character that has to be escaped when used in addresses for example. I don't know which escape character is to be used in your case, try doubling ('&&') or a backslash ('\&') or perhaps the HTML hex representation (&#038;).

What happens if you simply remove the "amp;" part from "&amp;"?

[edit] Or try Ageless's trick with single quotes [/edit]

Thanks.. :-)


But I wanted to use it for my profile here.. there I can use only BBC.

Or would work HTML also in the profiles?


If I insert and save this in my profile:
http://www.allprojectstats.com/perday.php?mode=1&projekt=15&id=138633

It will be saved as:
http://www.allprojectstats.com/perday.php?mode=1&amp;projekt=15&amp;id=138633


I can't remove the 'amp;'s'..


Everytime I save.. the webside insert the 'amp;'s'

If I insert [img]http://www.allprojectstats.com/perday.php?mode=1&projekt=15&id=138633[/img] using IE6, nothing is changed, though the image isn't displayed either. But don't you think 800 by 550 pixels is a bit big anyway? :-)

Thanks! :-)


? *confused*

Ops..


You have IE 6, you save the URL nothing changed/added and you don't see the pic/graph?
Where you saved the URL?

If I save this URL in my profile, no way. [look upper post, not well graph, something 'mystical'..]
If I save this URL in the forum, the pic is shown correct.


You can see with your IE 6 my inserted [ img]'s in my upper post?


I use IE 8.
'Normal' and 'view compatibility mode/option' don't help, both the same phenomenon.


Noo.. it's not too big..
..look to my prifile.. I like big images.. ;-D


MfG
:-)

Yes.

Where you saved the URL?

I misinterpreted "profile" for "signature", so I tried it in my Community preferences.

If I save this URL in my profile, no way. [look upper post, not well graph, something 'mystical'..]
If I save this URL in the forum, the pic is shown correct.

Yes.
But you were wrong: the "amp;" isn't inserted in the profile, it's added by the BBCode processing. If you edit your profile again, nothing is added.

BTW, I didn't find an "escape" sequence.

..hmm.. but in the community preferences you can edit your sig..


If I insert an URL with my IE 8 in my profile with '&'.. after saving and next visit in the profile I see an amp; extension after every '&' in the URL [after look in the properties of the pic].

But it's no longer needed, I like more the current pic's.. ;-)


Thanks a lot!


What you mean with "escape" sequence?

An 'error' in my profile?

That's what I've written.

Only in the properties! That's what I've written.

What you mean with "escape" sequence?

Those sequences to "mask" the &, as mentioned in my other post:
The '&' is not broken, it's a special HTML character that has to be escaped when used in addresses for example. I don't know which escape character is to be used in your case, try doubling ('&&') or a backslash ('\&') or perhaps the HTML hex representation (&#038;).
