html codes - 3/7/2006 23:25:18
Can anyone recommend a good tutorial for how to post html codes on a web page. To enable people to copy and paste codes for banners please?

I don't think you need a tutorial.
Normal method is to place the code in a text area field of a form.
Like this:
<form>
<p><textarea rows="3" name="code" cols="30"><p>Your code here</p></textarea></p>
</form>
I think the code remains unaffected in most browsers.

or use the <code> tag?!
The drawback of using the <code> tag, is that you have to translate the special characters so they will show on the page. e.g.
&_lt;p&_gt;this is a paragraph&_lt;/p&_gt;
NB: ( I had to add the "_" so it would show here!)
Whereas, if you use a form text area, the symbols appear normally as typed.

but semantically it should be <code>, and seeing as how you're/we're into validation and doctypes and well formed code i thought that you would have preferred the use of <code>

you only need to paste code into Normal (Design) view and FP translates the characters automatically.
that is the best tip I've heard in AGES!
Thankyou for that, you've saved me so much future bother.
