Thanks. (BTW, the blink is working in Netscape! heh, heh)

Hey, A-G! Huggie wuggie.

[TPartyType]

Wow! Thanks, friend!

[Joe Hadenuf]

Cool.

[TPartyType]

Thanks for the warm welcome back! I learned HTML here, too!

[TPartyType]

Good for you. It's fun. This is a safe place to practice.

Gotta go eat lunch now.

Maybe there should also be instructions on how to do a proper "SEARCH". There are so many duplications for postings. I know that some of them have a different titles but if you read the little synopsis of the article in the Search you can see it's the exact same thing as one previously posted.

I like it, but it seems there must be an easier way...

Blinkin' bump for later.

Figures. Internut Exploder isn't exactly HTML-compliant <VBG>

You bet! If I can find the bleeding thing, there is a free download from MS that allows you to hilite, see, and copy source code- just the part you want, without the whole page... let me look around. Go here:

...and scroll down to the link "View Partial Source"- it saves lots of time & aggravation.

Bump for self-educational purposes.

Hubby and I have been learning HTML to edit our web pages with the Coffee Cup editor. He's further along than I am. I want to know how to INDENT. Not seen any code for that. I've got posting an image down pat.

I found the indent thing I think..blockquote and /blockquote.

NOW IS THE TIME FOR ALL GOOD MEN TO COME TO THE AID OF THEIR COUNTRY. Which is one of the sentences I learned to type in typing class back in 1964.

Next question how do you create more than ONE space between paragraphs.

[steveegg]

There's a couple of ways to do it:

• First, there's the <blockquote> tag. That will cause an indentation on both the left and right margins. Ex:

  This selection is indented. Depending on your screen resolution, you may or may not see the indentation on the right edge of this post. If you don't, adjust the size of your browser until you do.

  The indentation will continue until the </blockquote> tag is used.

  You can nest the <blockquote> tag as many times as you want, but after a few, the text will be squeezed too tightly. Just remember to close things out with the </blockquote> tags until you get them all (you can have more </blockquote> tags than <blockquote> tags, and even if you forget on FR, JohnRob's magic software will keep things on an even keel).
• Next, there's the &nbsp; code. This will create one whitespace character per use. As you've already discovered, hitting the space bar more than once only creates one whitespace. Ex: (I'm forcing a fixed-width font for demonstration purposes)

  0123456789112
  a b c d e
  a  b  c  d  e
  0123456789112

  You can put as much whitespace in as you want.

[steveegg]

That would be multiple uses of the <br> (line break) tag, either on its own or after the <p> (paragraph) tag. Ex:

Paragraph 1


I inserted 3 <br>'s between Paragraph 1 and this line of text.

I inserted 1 <p> and 1 <br> between the previous paragraph and this line.

Thanks for the ping!!!!!!!

One more thing; if you've invalidated the "HTML auto-detected" described in the help of each posting comment page, you'll also lose the ability to type a '<' or '&' at the beginning of a word without putting a space between it and the rest of the word, at least without resorting to some HTML "trickery".

To get the '<' followed immediately by more characters, type &lt;(remainder of word with no space). To get the '&' followed immediately by more characters, type &amp;(remainder of word with no space).
