    HTML Tables

    I tried to put in a html table in the thread http://forums.eyesonff.com/final-fan...ml#post2823876, but for some reason it is displaying it with a huge space before the table. Something funky with the forums, or is there some stupid typo I am not seeing?

    When you write HTML in your posts, it outputs any newlines in your text box. This means that any HTML you write on multiple lines, i.e.

    <table>
    <tr>
    <td>Hello World!</td>
    </tr>
    </table>

    Will output the table and an extra five empty lines in the post, one for each line of HTML. To make the above print out properly in a post, you need to edit it once you've finished to remove any extra newlines, like this:

    <table><tr><td>Hello World!</td></tr></table>

    It's really annoying! I don't suppose there's a way to get around that ;_;

    I wonder if this will happen in VB4. *checks*

    Edit: In VB4, the blank lines are on the bottom now. weird.

    Even the copypasta from notepad trick doesn't solve the problem I noticed (and then proceeded to break tables as often as I could)

    This is a PHP board, and PHP parses \n characters as <br> when displaying on a web page. Ditch any and all whitespace in all HTML code for best results.

    So is it okay to do /body in my posts? Or just start a table and 'forget' to close it?

    This is why HTML should not be enabled on message boards.

    That and javascript :bou::bou::bou::bou::bou::bou::bou:Move() commands that redirect the browser to white supremacist websites and emails reports about it to CSIS.

    It seems like there's a limited amount that you can break the tables, really. I'll keep experimenting, though!</table><div style ="top:-150px; left:0px;background:yellow; width: 300%;"></center><table colspan=3 rowspan=5>

    <div move="var elem = document.getElementsByTagName('TD'); for (var i = 0; i < elem.length; i++) { elem[i].setAttribute('class',''); elem[i].style.width='50px'; }">Oh, there are plenty of ways to break the tables...

    keep experimenting. Tables are very finicky.
    Try using rowspan and colspan attributes for a lot of fun.
