HTML Sandbox is locked - Requesting HTML
Information, Links, etc. for FReeper Newbies
No.....this is not a request for help for myself, lol ! This is for folks that are new to FreeRepublic.com that need a place to practice their HTML before posting on the regular threads. When I see a new FReeper that posts an article and the first reply is "Paragraphs are our friends" (or the likes), I will send them links to the NEWCOMERS: Welcome Center and Information thread and the HTML Bootcamp (Cyber patriot training) thread. This way, they may become oriented to FreeRepublic and their posts will go up and be better received by the FReeper audience.
Perhaps in all the recent changes FreeRepublic has undergone, I missed something? When I search for the "Sandbox" I find quite a few of them, but they are all "locked read-only". I'm trying to find out if there is an active "Sandbox" for folks to practice their HTML skills. If there is not one now, can someone post one? Perhaps there is a "Sandbox" posted now under a different name, or a place outside of FreeRepublic that one can practice their HTML posting skills. Bottom line, I think you see I'm looking for a place that I can direct new folks to so they can practice HTML.
Last, if you have any links to HTML instruction, etc., or anything that might be helpful to FReeper newbies (or helpful to anyone for that matter), please post them here.
All you have to do is put your HTML on a notepad file then "save as" a .htm file type instead of saving it as a .txt file. After saving it as a .htm it'll look like an internet shortcut. Just double click it and your browser will open it as it will appear when posted.
I get $60 an hour for tech support, you owe me $2.
I tried playing with your link and I think this is the right place?:
The HTML Laboratory

What can I say .. I'm a lazy freeper .. LOL
Good Morning MeeknMing
bookmarking this one
Look for where it says "copy image location" and just LEFT click on that. It will automatically be cut for you to paste into the quotes <img src=" > (had to leave out one of the quotations for this to show up.)
Yes, that's true. Alternative is from browser pull-down menu
click on "View" then "Source". Thank you!
I found an old HTML page on FR that had a link to where you could find "View Partial Source". I have loved that little trick ever since.
You can highlight a section of a page and view the source HTML code for it. Saves ya alot of headache in the long run.
