Got an HTML question about posting or your profile page? Fire Away!!

[petuniasevan]

Is there an easy one-shot way to deal with default intralinks when moving partial source code from its original site to FR?

I'd like a shortcut to cutting and pasting the original site's addy into each and every offending link.

Thanks!

How to post an image...

**Note: to post an image to a thread or into your profile here on FR, the image must be located on a web server (i.e. you should be able to see it in your web browser from a specific website). Local images on your computer will not work.

1. Find the URL or Web Address to the image you would like to post (it will look something like this -> http://www.example.com/image.jpg).
2. Copy this address into memory on your computer (usually by hitting ctrl-c in windows), or write it down.
3. In your reply, or on your profile edit page, create the image HTML tag. It is of the form <img src="">, where the address that you have copied in step 2 is now pasted in between the "" following the src attribute (i.e. <img src="http://www.example.com/image.jpg">) .
4. Submit your message or profile (always preview to make sure it worked!) and presto, you have posted an image to FR!!

In the old days--two years ago?--we called it HTML Bootcamp.

Is there any way to set the background color for a range of text, or to set a font size to a certain pixel dimension (to ensure that it fits in a certain-size table regardless of a user's font-size settings)? <span style="background:#123456;font-size:24px">...</span> used to be good for that, but style attributes are no longer allowed.

Free, thanks for offering your assistance here.

Peach, perhaps you might have some questions for this thread.

Query about the new auto-detected HTML.

If you want to make some of the text underlined, italic or bold, do you have to use html tags? In other words, are you precluded from using auto-detected HTML if you want to stylize the text?
