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.

Thanks for mentioning that in #6, spared me the trouble...
A "lazy" way I exploit Web Developer's Tools is to "view partial source" of an interesting-looking HTML effect, hilite & copy to a desktop file, and simply copy it from there when desired. Saves a lot of scribbling on file cards....

Sure is - I'm glad I posted this. The links here will
not only allow me to help new FReepers, they'll help
me too! lol ! 
MnM, you missed the rest of my post - "...this thread has such good info, I think I might "bookmark" it to my homepage....now, how do I do dat? : ) TIA : )" Seriously, how does one "bookmark?" Thanks.
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.)
Hmm? When I right click on a pic, I don't have the "copy image location" option.
I use Internet Explorer 5.5. Is that different than yours? If so, would that be why?
I right click on a picture, left click on properties then copy the "URL Address". Then paste that into the graph template as you say.

That reminds me, for those with Internet Explorer 5.5, here are some very helpful downloads, with descriptions:
Internet Explorer 5.5 Service Pack 1 and Internet Tools
Download Internet Explorer 5.5 Service Pack 1 and Internet Tools. This version of Internet Explorer includes improved support for DHTML and CSS, which gives Web architects greater control over browser appearance and behavior. Enjoy the ability to preview Web pages exactly as they will appear when printed. Internet Explorer 5.5 Service Pack 1 (SP1) makes it easier than ever to connect to the Internet and find the information you need. With Internet Explorer 5.5 SP1, you can use Connection Manager as your default dialer when Dial-Up Networking is already installed.
These two tools help the Web developer or those who are just curious about how pages are coded. The DOM tree tool lets you view all the Document Object Model properties in tree form via right click or the tools menu. And for those who are tired of scrolling through hundreds of lines of HTML to find that one section of code that does what you want, search no more! Simply highlight the area of Web page that you want to see the source for, right click on it and select "View Partial Source." It's that simple! Not supported by Microsoft. Give it a try.
Thank you.
(MnM, TxBec answered my question.)
