You can't use HTML in the UBB ;-)

Try replacing the greater than less than signs with square brackets and then paste it in.

<HTML>
<HEAD>
<TITLE>Woo!</TITLE>
</HEAD>
<BODY BGCOLOR="#000000" ahh whatever....>
Boo
</BODY>
</HTML>

Just put the code in UBB QUOTE tags

Isn't there some way to config the UBB to replace greater then and less than signs with the HTML equivalent? ampersand-something-or-another

Its a non-breaking space. It basically just makes a space

yeah, handy for putting in blank lines as in

" & nbsp "

some browsers would ignore the line if it didn't have the bit in the middle. Same with spacing when you don't use the align tags.

Any idea if it actually does any good in a table?

The easiest thing to do is just set the font color to the same color as the background, of course you're screwed if you're using an image as background but you shouldn't really be doing that anyway

will put in blank lines for you.

ye i knew the thing but dident have a clue withthe other i thought it was just a wast of space r somthn . thx lads

it is a waste of space. Look at an excel table saved as HTML (or any MS office document), they're HUGE and all because they're literally crammed full of absolute ****e! Just edit/replacing the & Nbsp with blanks almost cuts the size in half!

And what is with the < f ont> in front of *every* line and table cell???

Anyone know of a good text/spreadsheet to HTML converter?

If you don't have a non-breaking space in an otherwise empty HTML table cell, Netscape browsers won't display the cell properly.

Ja,
