Yes, I closed one open tag, but it wasn't fixed. 1249. dusty - 2/20/2000 2:30:49 PM I think it was in Message # 1208
You had the tags changing color, but only one closing tag.
here's my guess:
You changed the font color to red, then blue, then red again, and you though you needed a single < /font> tag to clear them all out. But this close tag only closed the last color change, and left in the other two color changes.
(You tried a lot of things, and I did't make absolutely sure to match all tags, but I think this is what happened.)
You generally need a close tag for each open tag. As you can see from your experiments, you can use a < font> command to do a number of things, and it only takes one < /font> to turn it off, but if you use more than one < font> tag, even if some of them seem to "undo" each other, you still need a close tag for each one.
But the use of HTML can be very useful, so please do not feel apprehensive.
Test here.
That's what the thread is for.
And if I make comments, they are intended to be constructive, not critical. 1250. Fraaankster - 2/20/2000 2:31:03 PM Dusty,
A mighty big Oops for doing that, Dusty, and thank you for closing it.I'm learning all the time.
By the way, would I have to type out the whole tag if for example I wanted to color each letter of your handle ( Dusty ), or is there a short cut ?
1251. Fraaankster - 2/20/2000 2:34:26 PM Thanks, Dusty! I am taking no umbrage for your help. I take it as constructive and I certainly appreciate it! :-) 1252. dusty - 2/20/2000 3:02:03 PM I don't know a shortcut. I saw someone do something like that, but I think it was some sort of java scrip. I'll look around to see if I see it again, and let you know. 1253. Fraaankster - 2/21/2000 12:22:02 AM Dusty,
Thanks for all your assistance so far. I'll keep checking back to see if you came up with anything. In the meantime, I think I'll refrain from experimenting with HTML...I don't want to cause anymore "accidents".
Whoops, gotta go, bye ! 1254. FXMuckermind - 2/22/2000 6:17:39 AM I wonder how long it will be before anyone catches on?
Test
OK no I don't really. I don't care at all.

I don't think they even realize how moronic they are 1255. dusty - 2/22/2000 10:48:31 AM FXMuckermind
Why do you think people don't catch on? We use that for many things, especially in the Quiz thread
Shall I grade your test?
C- 1256. CalGal - 2/22/2000 10:54:58 AM Dusty,
I found the code that was used to do the colors stuff, but I don't have time to play with it. Do you want it? 1257. dusty - 2/22/2000 11:07:54 AM Sorry, I don't understand the question. 1258. dusty - 2/22/2000 11:08:22 AM Oh wait, are you talking multiple colors in a single line? 1259. dusty - 2/22/2000 11:08:44 AM If so, yes 1260. CalGal - 2/22/2000 11:10:24 AM See, why do I have to work on my clarity if everyone can just figure out what I mean?
Coming right up. 1261. CalGal - 2/22/2000 11:15:40 AM As I said, I have no idea how it works. Someone just sent it to me and it needs tweaking.
#include < stdio.h >

char ch;
int i=6, r = 1, b = 3, g = 5, sdown=1, rdown = 0, bdown = 0, gdown =
1;
char * colors[6] = {"00", "33", "66", "99", "cc", "ff"};
cout << " | ";
/* Read in single line from "stdin": */
while((ch = getchar()) != EOF)
{
if ( ch == '<')
{
cout << ch;
ch = getchar();
do{
cout << ch;
ch = getchar();
}
while (ch != '>' && ch != EOF);
if ( ch == '>') cout << ch;
}
else
{
cout << "" << ch << "";
if ( i == 1) sdown = 0;
if (i == 6) sdown = 1;
if ( r == 0) rdown = 0;
if (r == 5) rdown = 1;
if (b == 1) bdown = 0;
if (b == 5) bdown = 1;
g = (g + 2 )%5;
}
}
cout << " |
";
}
1262. FXMuckermind - 2/22/2000 2:58:29 PM I DIDN'T SEE ANYTHING BUT A BLACK BOX
1263. CalGal - 2/22/2000 3:23:55 PM Me neither, quite frankly. Someone just sent me the code and I passed it on for Dusty to play with. 1264. FXMuckermind - 2/23/2000 12:50:03 AM Dusty,I'm not talking about the white font.
I would never think of grading you.Like I said, woner if you will EVER get it.
You missed the point.
But thats OK

This is the program that will colorize your text. 1266. PsychProf - 2/23/2000 1:56:55 AM LadyJane...thanks much... 1267. Cazart - 2/23/2000 2:12:12 AM
