How about more than 12 months?

I added a space before the br in the tags below so they won't add a line space!

I think what you are referring to is that in XHTML, a tag that does not require a closing tag (e.g. < br >) must be self-closing (< br />).

The a tag has a closing tag, so would not need (and should not have) an extra forward slash at the end.

Also, when used, the trailing slash is separated by a space from the text before.

The looks more like a slash to escape the closing >. But why? Nothing else is being escaped. I wonder if they are doing some server side processing of the code and this is a hack/fix?

I've still got Foxfire 2.something.

No width problems here, either. I'm viewing all 55 replies on one screen as I type this.

Dorothy...What browser are you using which displays the stretched table(s)? I'll bet it's those recent posts with the long Pixentral URL's that are mucking it up for you.

JFYI, Firefox 3.x now wraps lines on overly long URLs so that they don't break the forum tables. Sooo, maybe that's something that'll help.

looks good here...

John, can you please find and fix whatever is making this topic wider then my 17" monitor. Thanks! I'll come back and read it when I don't have to scroll back and forth for every line.

i've noticed that too. i think it has something to do with validating the page as xhtml 1.0

Sorry about that! I had to create that for someone this morning and it was convenient. I'll go change it for another one...

Now, about that extra "/" in the Pixentral HTML code...

Geebus, John...can I take some Photoshop illustration lessons from you?

Purty pleeeeaaassse!!!

;)

So, it works here with or without the slash after the first URL. Do you know the folks at Pixentral to ask them about this?

John

Pixentral's URL format _Should_ work. But it looks like they have an extra slash in there that trips up some places and not others.

Here is what I get from Pixentral:

<a href="http://www.pixentral.com/show.php?picture=1nCzVVwK9aZd82NmL5iiro2wpIXzC"/><img alt="Picture hosted by Pixentral" src="http://www.pixentral.com/hosted/1nCzVVwK9aZd82NmL5iiro2wpIXzC_thumb.jpg" border="0"/></a>

That doesn't work in Jive Clearspace.

But if I remove the "/" in the a href section (right after the long string of characters) it then works as expected. Let's see if it works here without the / in it...
