HTML tag

**filburt1** · Oct 16th, 2001, 09:17 PM

Is there a way to use the (line break) tag without actually typing ? VBF doesn't parse HTML, and as you know a newline in just text turns into a space in HTML. The board accepts things like   so I was thinking  but that just printed a space.

I dont think control characters can work that way yet.

1. Take anger management classes

2. Hockey Balls or Tennis Rackets are good to throw

Throw things at tv until it changes for you

Some VBF fields (like Location) don't allow for multiple lines even after editing the HTML, so I was wondering if there was a trick to get around it.

not sure if i remember right,
but will only work between <pre> tag
or textarea!

**da_silvy** · Oct 18th, 2001, 09:17 AM

It does work in the TEXTAREA tag but the newline isn't preserved if I try to update my location using it.

Yeah, I've seen you and Bloodeye do that.

But it won't work in my case.

**filburt1** · Oct 18th, 2001, 02:14 PM

Anybody?

scoutt · Oct 18th, 2001, 02:28 PM

what does this have to do with html or anything web related. you want a hack for the forums then goto the vbulliten.com forums and see if they have a hack for it.
just live with it Arien, like the rest of us.

How's about you stop flaming me before I start reporting the post; just answer the question or go away if you can't.

who's flaming. I did answer your post. go to another forum where you can get the answer and that is www.vbulliten.com. run an tattle you big baby because I haven't said anything bad to you or offended you at all since you ask me to stop. it is just your posts make no since from time to time. now you ask a question that nobody seems to know because you asked it in the wrong place.

in html you cannot have a break in a input box. and the only break you can have is tag in a textbox.

report the post and let them see how much of a waste this post is.

**filburt1** · Oct 18th, 2001, 03:07 PM

You can have a break in a TEXTAREA though, but even when I change the location field from an INPUT tag to a TEXTAREA tag and add a newline it is still not preserved.

are you doing it on the forums or your own website?

**filburt1** · Oct 18th, 2001, 03:19 PM

Both have the same effect after I tried it in Dreamweaver 4.

scoutt · Oct 18th, 2001, 03:25 PM

well you have to taken in account that the forums are stripping out the html tags from input, textboxes. so you won't be able to do it. sure you could if they weren't doing it that way.

also that is your first problem is that you are using dreamweaver. don't get me wrong but you might not get what you want with that. I have a sample at home but you have to wait.

I have used tags in textarea's so I know it can be done.

scoutt · Oct 18th, 2001, 08:43 PM

well I didn't use the tags. I just used the enter key to make a line break in a textarea. but I also have it on wrap=physical.

I don't think you can without sending it to a mysql database and having it inter the special characters so it will detect line breaks and lets you specify those for enters.

**filburt1** · Oct 18th, 2001, 08:51 PM

Oh well, thanks anyway.

Hockey balls?

**crptcblade** · Oct 21st, 2001, 12:09 PM

Street Hockey uses a ball, not a puck.

Field Hockey also uses hockey balls (down in Strailya

)

But you can throw a puck if you want.
