Code box shows text in reverse...

I gave a series of commands how to unregister a DLL, and to make it clear I used the 'Syntax Highlighting' | 'Plain' feature of the forum editor.  The text was clear and visible until I clicked the 'Post Message' button, then the text appeared ... well, somewhat garbled.  It appears as it shows only the first part of the text, but in reverse!

I did another post with just the commands, again in a Syntax Highlight code box; this time it appears correct.

Anyone else seen this...?

Any advice how to avoid this?

    Correct answer adobe-admin

    The list was originally formatted by the forum editor, then modified with manually entered HTML.

    The reason why I did it this way was that I did not want this text as a bulleted line, but just a plain line.  This is - to the best of my ancient knowledge - not "illegal" HTML; it works perfectly fine in a standard HTML document.

    If you advise me not to use this particular HTML coding anymore, then I will certainly follow your advice.  But if it can be fixed in the CSS, then I would like to extent a hearty thank you to you and the web team.


    My HTML knowledge is probably more ancient than yours. I'm just passing along comments. I agree, it should be fixed in the CSS.

    on my screen reversed in more than one way...

    I see it in several browsers. The issue disappears if I force

    http://wwwimages.adobe.com/www.adobe.com/adobeforums/lib/com.adobe/template/optimized/screen.optimized.css

    not to load so it appears to be something the Adobe design team needs to

    look at.

    Reported. Looks like it is an issue with the strong tag.


    I think the web team identified the issue in the CSS files.

    Is Jive formatting the lists there? Or are you hand-coding? They did point out that there is some malformed HTML there...

    <ul>
        <strong>text here</strong>
        <li>Text here</li>
    </ul>

    The <strong> text should be within the <li>
