I'll share this:

Here it is:

I hope you don't find this presumptuous, but I have found this web tool for IE5 to be invaluable.
I found it on an 'HTML Bootcamp' thread and since so few of us ever go back to 'old' threads, I have been posting it to folks that may have brought over a little more HTML from their article than they wanted.

What it means is that you can usually highlight just the article that normally resides in the middle of the page. (away from all the ads and tables etc)

After you have highlighted just the text you want, hold your mouse over the highlighted text, right click and copy your 'View Partial Source' and bring it over to FR.

Keeps you from doing what you did. :-)

Here's a great tip: With Microsoft Internet Explorer 5.0+ you can easily download and install a few cool tools, such as "View Partial Source." With that extra small tool installed on your PC, you can highlight a segment of any webpage, right-click, and choose to view the partial source of whatever got highlighted by your mouse. Now you don't have to look through an entire page's source code, just the small part of the page you are interested in viewing.

Here's the link for IE web tools:
http://www.microsoft.com/Windows/IE/WebAccess/default.asp
and look at the bottom of the page for "Web Developer Accessories." You will need to reboot to get it to work.

Thanks, Howlin !! That 'View Partial Source' is the greatest thing since sliced bread.

I've been using that for quite a while, and would sure hate to go back to where I was before.

[alnitak]

That'll do nicely, thanks!

Please: ALWAYS turn "OFF" the formatting when you use it.

It's no longer a BIG DEAL here on FR. At least a couple revs ago, they implemented a feature that automatically closes any tags left open.

Don't you remember when that was a constant problem? Surely you didn't think everyone had magically become 100% conscientious about closing their tags.

Thanks for the ping, Meek, I need all the HTML help and more that I can get. You're a good guy and never have tweeked me about the time I freep mailed you for help in posting a thread. :)

Ah, for the good old days before John Robinson fixed the forum to where everyone's different font sizes, color, etc. formatting are automatically closed at the end of their posts. It seemed like every tenth thread or so back then, someone would leave on large colored fonts and people would take turns trying to close the offending formatting for several posts afterwards. Boy, there were some really screwed up threads. ;D

[SJackson]

There are some WordProcessor programs that will output an HTML formatted file, too. But I do not know the names of them.

MS Word will. After typing go to Web Page Preview on the File menu. Then View/Source when the Web page opens (in IE).

[TPartyType]

[TPartyType]

Hey, bud!

[TPartyType]

Thanks!

[MeekOneGOP]

Oh, thanks !! :O)

It was so easy to forget to close 'em all sometimes. I was guilty of that enough times myself. Sometimes even when you closed them, the closes were DOA.

[TPartyType]

Yeah, I knew they'd addressed that problem, but, when learning HTML, I figure closing all one's tags is a good habit to get into anyway.
