Roadrage


Within a thread, you can type < msg num=500> to refer to another post. (Remove the first blank.)

Example:
Message # 500


I think there's also a way to do it across threads, but I'm on a phone call at the moment, so I can't look it up. I'll try to report back when I have a chance to find it.)

Since I went looking for it myself:

< msg thread=8 num=2668 >

Message # 1511 in thread 35

590. CalGal - 11/11/1999 6:12:17 AM

Worked for me.

Cool!

What's the frequency, Kevin?

593. dusty - 11/13/1999 2:38:06 AM

Thanks CalGal, for finding the format for linking to other threads.

Of course, this requires knowing the thread number. You can find it by looking in the address line at the top of your browser, but I'll create a table with the numbers.

I should be grateful if somebody using Internet Explorer would check this page and tell me what it looks like, in particular if the width of the text is convenient.

(I had to uninstall IE because of conflicts with other programs)

598. PelleNilsson - 11/13/1999 8:44:30 PM

OK. Please ceck my #595 up there beside the table.

599. PelleNilsson - 11/13/1999 8:45:03 PM

.. check..

600. dusty - 11/14/1999 12:41:24 AM

Oops

602. CalGal - 11/14/1999 4:21:06 AM

Dusty,

My first guess is your "align=left" tag.

BTW, to get rid of all those spaces, don't put any carriage returns in before or after the table tags.

603. PelleNilsson - 11/14/1999 4:30:51 AM

CalGal

Your are an IE person. Could you please check the link in #595?

604. CalGal - 11/14/1999 5:00:49 AM

Pelle,

I'd tried it earlier but the link hadn't worked. I looked at it again and figured out why.

Looks very nice! The width is fine.

605. dusty - 11/14/1999 5:11:47 AM

CalGal

So what's wrong with "align=left". I mean it obviously messed up, but why?

607. PelleNilsson - 11/14/1999 5:13:44 AM

Thank you, CalGal.

608. CalGal - 11/14/1999 5:17:10 AM

Dusty,

Understand I just guess at this. But consider that table align=left then takes the following text and moves it to the left. Any text. It doesn't know from posts.

So I wouldn't use the align tag unless I had text that was going to wrap around the table.

609. dusty - 11/14/1999 5:18:22 AM

Pelle

The original link is mesed up. Try this instead.

610. dusty - 11/14/1999 5:20:24 AM

And a close table doesn't change that? I have much to learn.
