There are certain HTML codes that JohnRob (John Robinson, the technical guru of FR) has disabled in the current version of the forum (Focus) because they have proven quite troublesome. These may show up when replying to an old post (like the original HTML Bootcamp, but won't here. This is by no means a comprehensive list:

<marquee>
This text should be scrolling right-to-left in Internet Explorer browsers, but is not.

<span>
This text should have a yellow background, but doesn't.

<blink>
This text should be blinking, but isn't.

Also, while not closing tags may foul up one's individual post, it no longer kills the thread as a whole (at least in terms of HTML).

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

<span>
This text should have a yellow background, but doesn't.

IIRC, the span tag isn't disabled, but the "style" attribute (the only one that's really useful in 'span') is. Too bad, since there are many things that can only be done with the style attribute including setting precise font sizes [generally annoying unless it's necessary to make text fit a fixed-sized item, in which case its lack is annoying] and controlling background colors for text outside of tables.

Did he disable this type?
