    Here’s quick-and-dirty HTML that you can use to test your simple code.

    Cut and paste everything below, and save it as file “Tester.htm” on your computer’s desktop.

    You can then use it to try simple experiments (fonts, URLs, colors, etc.)

    <html>
    
<head>
    
<title>HTML Tester</title>
    

    
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript">
    
function showhtml(){
    
/* alert(form1.htmlcode.value);
    
div1.style.borderWidth='44px'; */
    
div1.innerHTML = form1.htmlcode.value;
    
}
    
</SCRIPT>
    
</head>
    
<body>
    

    
<form id=form1>
    

    
<p>Enter some HTML code here, then click DISPLAY to see it rendered
    

    
<br />
    
<input type="button" value="      DISPLAY      " onClick="showhtml()">
    
<br />
    
<textarea name="htmlcode" rows=12 cols=100>
    
<blockquote&gt this is a blockquote &lt/blockquote&gt

<br />
    

    
<font face="courier new", color="red"><U>Red Underlined Text<U></font>
    

    
<br />
    

    
<ul>
    
<li Type="Square">red
    
<li Type="Circle">orange
    
<li Type="Disc">yellow
    
</ul>

<li>red
    
<li>orange

</ol>
    

    
</textarea><br />
    

    
</form>
    

    
<p>
    

    
<font face="times new roman" size="6">Your results below:</font>

    That’s a registry entry.

    It appears on the right-hand window of the regedit application, under the “Name” column.

    I’m getting a little concerned – if you can’t find this easily, or find the instructions difficult or confusing, it may be time to back off and get help.

    The HTML that I wrote posted here with some odd substitutions, but it works in both IE and Firefox, so I guess that’s what matters.

    One difference I noticed is that the “Type” attributes of the bullet points in the unordered list (UL) work fine in Firefox, but are ignored in IE.

    I’m sure there are pros reading this who are probably rolling their eyes and/or snickering at my efforts – please feel free to jump in with suggestions for improvement, and constructive criticism.

    The special characters I used to replace the less-than sign (<) and the greater-than sign (>) in my sample code were sometimes replaced, and sometimes not on my post.

    It may be simpler to just remove my sample code, starting from “<blockquote” and ending at “/ol>”. You can then insert your own code and click on the “DISPLAY” button.

    If you save the file with a .htm extention, double-clicking on it will cause your default browser to open it.

    ICOT: you said

    Then open Windows Explorer to C:Windows and see if there is an I386 folder here. You should also see on that is called ServicePackFiles if you have installed either SP1 or SP2. If they are in these locations, continue on. If not, you need to determine where they are before proceeding.

    windows exploreris what??$ and i skipped that, i did everything else, and when i want to download it, it showed the file and when i pressed “ok” it didn’t go.$(does it have anything to do with capitaliczing letters or something else.$) thanx for the help.$

    RoshYeshivah-

    moish01-

    The long HML code block posted above needs to be copied and saved as a file with a .htm extension and then opened with a browser.

    Cutting and pasting snippets in a cofferoom thread will not work, since most tags (such as font and color) are deliberately bypassed.

    qwertyuiop (re: Hebrew language)-

    Sorry, that was a typo.

    “You should also see one (subdirectory) that is called ServicePackFiles if you have installed either SP1 or SP2.”

    I’m not sure what you mean by “downloading”, since this method will hopefully avoid downloading anything by pointing your system to the location where the necessary files exist.

    teen-

    “…i am completly lost…i am just realizing how little i really know..”

    The concept is actually pretty simple. You put a tag at the beginning of some text, telling the browser how you want it displayed (e.g. green), and then a closing tag at the end to delimit where you want the font, color, URL, etc. to stop.

    “i have saved it on my desktop and opened it in a web browser….now what all i see is the code in a gray box…what do i do next?”

    – I’m not sure what the problem is, since I am able to open it in Firefox, IE6 and IE8 on two different machines. Is it possible your browser has scripting turned off, or you are getting a security warning due to the JavaScript function in the code?

    RoshYeshivah-

    “does that mean that only what’s on the bottom of the page will work-a blockquote code etc… ?”

    – Yes, exactly.

    The code I pasted on the prior page for cut-and-pasting to create a test HTML page is a little odd because of some substitutions I assume the site software did.

    It also has atleast one syntax error on my part – the second <U> tag should actually be a closing </U>.

    None of the things are stopping it from working as I expected it to.

    Did anyone else try it? What were your results?

    A few suggestions for those who are interested in HTML formatting and the like:

    -Google “HTML tester” or similar phrases. There are several sites where you can try out your code.

    -Consider buying “HTML for Dummies” (I’m not sure that that’s the exact title). I’ve bought “Dummies” books on various topics for myself and others over the years, and they’re great for beginners – not dry and boring, very informative, and simple to understand.

    -It’s not rocket science. It’s not even bottle-rocket science. Don’t be intimidated or think it’s too difficult. Remember – all you are doing is telling the browser “make this line red, that one blue, and the other one blink” and so forth.

    I’m not sure what you mean.

    Are both the “i386” and “ServicePackFiles” subdirectories under the Windows directory?

    If the answer is yes, and you performed the regedit updates, I’m afraid I’m out of ideas (sorry).

    If your computer was here, I’d try a couple of other things, like looking at the contents of the “lang” subdirectories (both under the windowsi386 and windowsservicepackfilesi386 subdirectories) and comparing them to my computer’s, but it would be guesswork.

    Is your computer a laptop? If so, can you bring it to work or school where the resident techie can take a look?
