Just having a laff!

They look daft enough in Netscape, so I didn't bother with the blink...

They can be quite mesmerising... the different text sizes make them move 'randomly'!

I used <table width="75%"> so that it adjusts to your screen width for maximum annoyance!!

the marquee is not HTML, it is Microsoft's invention and will work only in Microsoft browsers. Similarly, blink is a netscape invention and only works in Netscape browsers.

both pseudo-tags should not be used on web-pages, not only because they are not HTML, but also because they are annoying!

Within pre, tt is usually not necessary as most browsers use a nonproportional font anyway.

But it does not hurt to use tt as well.

Goeff,

If you were building your own Web page, the <pre> tag would indeed cause everything to display just as it looked when you entered it. For Mudcat posts, however, any hard return all by itself—separate lines with no intervening blank line—is stripped out causing the lines to flow together when viewed. If there are two or more hard returns in a row—one or more blank lines—they are replaced with a <p> tag. You can observe me discovering this fact just eight posts above this one.

If you are still reading this stuff
  Can you explain to a reasonably
  intelligent bod what gets lost where
  and why??? Preferably in a for which I might understand!  

I was led to believe that by using the "pre" tag in "<" brackets would leave text formatted elsewhere with paragraph breaks intact when it appeared on screen. Am I mistaken or is it just something which does not work with Mudcat?

---

Line Breaks <br> added. Mudcat is set to ignore carriage returns in all cases except double-spacing (two carriage returns in a row). The <pre> affects most things, but not line breaks. It's set to ignore carriage returns because there are some problems associated connected with accepting them. I saw the bad advice you must have read, but didn't have time to post an explanation.

problem with pre tag is that the linebreaks do not even reach the server - they are taken out before the browser sends the content of the window to the server as the textarea has the wrap attribute set to "soft"

Thanks Pene it looks complicated but I will look through it
A couple more things though if anyone can help
How do I put sound into webpages?
and do pages load top down? If so can I put a sound file at the bottom of the page so that the text can be read while the sound loads?

Subject: RE: HTML practice thread
From: Jon Freeman
Date: 27 Aug 00 - 08:14 AM

Roger, I only dabble with HTML. I haven't got time to search right now but there is an HTML standard (in fact more than one as HTML has been "upgraded"). All browsers designed to adhere to that version of the standard should behave in a consistent and defined manner but anything outside such as Netscapes blink, IE's marquee may or may not work in another browser.

The same applies to errors in HTML. It is down to the browser to decide how to handle them.

With regard to the versions, as an example, older browsers do not support frames and these issues need to be considered when designing a web site. Personally, I would err towards compatibility and I think that is what Max does with Mudcat - IMO it is better to have something relatively simple that is accessible to everybody than to use all the latest all singing and dancing features and find that you are excluding a large number of people who would like to access your site.

One final comment, if you ever do attempt to design a web site, test it on whatever browser you have available before putting it on the web. It is easy to make a mistake that will not show up on one browser but will cause problems or not work with another.

Yes and no Roger, you can put a link in a Marquee but clicking anywhere on the line will activate the link - you don't have to hit the words.

The other thing to note about marquees in apart from being irritating, they are an Internet Explorer extension to HTML. They won't work with other browers like Netscape. Netscape have blink instead.
