Strat Bombing question

When Mr. OKeets posts his code to the forum, that code runs the length of the page covering up all successive text by others. It is has even reached this text box that I am typing in. Is it just me or others as well?


This happens in ALL threads btw. Not just this one.

Sorry about that.[:(]

I am using the key word "code" enclosed in [] to start the section of code (so the indentation is unchanged) and I end the section with the same keyword enclosed by [/]. This is standard HTML coding - comparable to what is used for the keyword "quote".

You probably don't need to apologize, Steve.

Opera is clear with that, curiously IE too !

I have no trouble with it.

Noproblem with IE. Must be your Firefox thing.

Howdy,

I had the same problem too (with Firefox).
The problem seems to be in the HTML code : soon after "here's the MWIF code:", there is a tag <pre style="width:640px; height:300px;"> - if the height is not mentioned (the tag becoming then <pre style="width:640px;>), it works fine, even with Firefox. But to change this, I suppose one would have to modify the software used for all Matrix forums, so...

...Here's another solution, for Firefox users (I don't know Safari) :

• Select View:Page Style:No Style : you will then see the page without the usual presentation, but the code will be OK
• When you've finished studying the code, select View:Page Style:Basic Page Style to come back to the usual presentation

Hope this helps [:)]

Thanks for the information/enlightenment.

Last spring my wife and I were in Provence for a week, we even got a chance to have dinner with Patrice and his family. Very beautiful in the late spring.
