HTML code

[Zach Elfers]

Could there be a button that would let you view the HTML in your post?

:confused:

There is no HTML in your post, it's disallowed on the forum.
:)

However, if you mean you want to see how the post is formatted in HTML to look the way it does, nothing beats right-click View Source.

<td bgcolor="#DFDFDF" width="100%" valign="top">
<font face="verdana,arial,helvetica" size="1" >
<b>HTML code</b>
</font>

<font face="verdana, arial, helvetica" size="2" >

I don't mean that. When you are helping someone with code, and you put HTML in your post to show them, it would be nice if there was a button that would let you check that code first, just so you could see if it works.:)

Well Zach, if you were using a decent browser like Mozilla, you could fire up composer and preview it in 2 seconds flat.
Otherwise just create a new empty html doc on your desktop and cut-n-paste it in there.

Problem being, in most cases we woldn't want to post the entire code in the post, just the relevant bits and that won't always render properly depending on what bits are missed out.
