Snowowl, you turn off a < font color=blue> command with </font>, not < /color>

1045. SnowOwl - 2/5/2000 10:38:30 AM

Too late. Thanks Dusty. Nothing like a little bit of parading my skills around when I haven't actually got any skills to speak of.

Welcome!!!

Snowowl,
Well, it isn't really too late, as I assume you would like to use the command sometime again.

1048. SnowOwl - 2/5/2000 10:40:21 AM

Yeah, I realise that now, after doing as I should have done to begin with, and reading the hints page. Consider me well and truly chastised.

< font color=red> Thank you, Dusty!!!< /font color=blue>

1050. dusty - 2/5/2000 10:41:37 AM

No problem.

You knew this was the place to practice. That's a great start.

1051. Absensia - 2/5/2000 10:41:40 AM

Thank didn't work...LOL..but thanks!

1052. Absensia - 2/5/2000 10:43:34 AM

Will this do it?

1053. SnowOwl - 2/5/2000 10:43:50 AM

Abs,

You had a space between your first bracket and the command. Try again.

1054. dusty - 2/5/2000 10:45:07 AM

Absensia

You put a space between the < symbol and "font". When you do that, the command doesn't execute.

When you want to turn it off, you don't need to add the color attribute, and you don't want a space between the < and the / character.

1055. dusty - 2/5/2000 10:45:21 AM

Great!

1056. SnowOwl - 2/5/2000 10:45:47 AM

Okay smartass, what's your next trick?

1057. Absensia - 2/5/2000 10:46:19 AM

Yes, SnowOwl
told me!

Another hint, after you put your "creation" into the window, click on "Check for dust" first—it will show you how the post will look.

1059. SnowOwl - 2/5/2000 10:47:12 AM

Don't encourage her, dusty. You may be unleashing a monster.

1060. Absensia - 2/5/2000 10:47:13 AM

oops, it didn't blink...hey, you people are great..and patient!

1061. Absensia - 2/5/2000 10:48:12 AM

Oh, good idea, thanks Dusty.

1062. joezan - 2/5/2000 10:50:17 AM

BLINK?

1063. dusty - 2/5/2000 10:51:37 AM

Absensia

Just so you know, the term "toys" was coined in our first few days—it refers to the use of any HTML that changes the font look. When people turn an attribute on and fail to turn it off, we say that they forgot to put their toys away. Now abbreviated as "toys?"
