I've just posted a song to someone looking for the lyrics to 'Kiss the Children for me Mary' and I've made a right pigs ear of it. Can someone have a look and tell me what I did wrong in simple terms please.<br>regards Baz.

BAZ, it looks like you typed in the three charactes ampersand-l-t when you should have typed the single character "less-than sign" (shifted comma key). The first is an HTML code that is supposed to display the second, but at least in my browser it only displays the second correctly if it has a non-alphanumeric character following. The single "less-than sign" is an HTML code that, when paired with a "greater-than sign", with some stuff in between, tells the browser something special to do. In this case the stuff between is "BR" which tells the browser to put in a line break. Hope this is clear.

Thanks for your help. Joe Offer kindly got what I typed in to work but it didn't for me.
I'm trying it out the way you mentioned to see how it goes.Perhaps there is a problem when stuff is uploaded from a particular text processor.
Thanks again for your time.

BAZ.

BAZ, I'm wondering if your word processor automatically puts in the HTML. If that case, if you typed in the line break codes, the word processor might change them so they're visible examples that don't work, instead of invisible codes that DO work.
Can I say more and make it more confusing?

How do you display a white flag in HTML.
By the way I think you may be right I'm using a BETA version of Lotus 97 and it is meant to be used for sending things across the net.

Anyway thanks for your help
