Thanks I will work on it tomarow thanks again for all your help.

Please edit the first post and wrap the code in html or code tags.

whitejeep · #5 05-27-2006, 02:19 PM

What do you mean the first two line of the code that SirAdrian was the following:

$stylevar[htmldoctype]
Which was in this liitle editor window inside the posting also above that was the words html code since i am new to this stuff that is vbulletin I could only assume that it was valid script -

normal HTML code has the following:

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">

above the head for a standard new page not knowing what the following lines did I could only assume took the place of those lines.

$stylevar[htmldoctype]
<html dir="$stylevar[textdirection]" lang="$stylevar[languagecode]">

Which you will see are on top of the HTML script I posted in the first thread.

What I did post does have a end body and end tags like below

</body>
</html>

So what is correct the script Siradrian posted for me or what please explain that is in vbulletlin expects things to look in the templete I guess. THANKS. I am a little comfused? Frank

Stop posting the code directly in the post like that please. Before you paste any code, click the <> in the editor bar. That will show you the HTML tags. Between the tags, paste your code.

HTML Code:

It Will Appear Like This!

whitejeep · #7 05-27-2006, 06:15 PM

HTML Code:

// Oh ok Thanks for the information now i know

Rich · #8 05-27-2006, 11:24 PM

If you could, please edit the previous posts and wrap the code in the tags. users that aren't licensed can see that. Once they are wrapped, they see a "You are not licensed" message.

whitejeep · #9 05-27-2006, 11:59 PM

I hope that meets your requirements sorry I am new to vbulletin and I will make some mastakes from time to time but I will get with the program.

Its all good. It helps prevent pirates from getting free info. Its more like a way to make them annoyed.
