I know to make "<>" appear on screen I can use "<a>"
But wow what a pain. Anyone know of a simple way to tell the browser to render straight text and not render it as code?
Thanks All :)
Re: pain - ya - but it is the proper way to do it.
You could put them in without conversion then use a search and replace to change them over to thier proper html formats.
If you don't want to do it like that, I think a textarea would work too.
just put your code between that and it should work.
<textarea rows="3" cols="80">hello <b>hello</b></textarea>

<textarea> Works well if you don't mind that text box look.
If you use DreamWeaver
Yes kapow I do use dreamweaver and your right that does work well.
It's just too bad there’s no simple little tag to serve the same purpose.
Also, if your server runs PHP you could run your html through the htmlspecialchars() [dk2.php.net] function.

htmlspecialchars() functionworks great thanks.
But I am not aware of any CSS functions that could make the <textarea> borders or scroler disapear.
Let me know
Thanks
CSS functions that could make the <textarea> borders or scroler disapear
textarea {
border: none;
overflow: hidden;
}
Thanks DrDoc
<link type="text/css" rel="stylesheet" src="/path/file.css">
It is better to use this slightly longer version of this, again placed in the <head> section of the HTML file:
<meta http-equiv="Content-Style-Type" content="text/css">
<style type="text/css">
@import url(path/file.css);
</style>
This version hides the CSS from older versions of Netscape that cannot handle CSS. This stops those versions from displaying a corrupted page with overlapping elements.
