Hi
im trying to make a small peice of code visible on my site so visitors can copy and paste the code and display one of my images in message board or email signatures.
I had it in < textarea > box's and i liked that but only to find out that XHTML Strict doesnt allow < a > tags inside textarea tags so i cant validate with that (i need the images linking back to my site)

sooo i tried to use the code tag (dont know if thats a w3c standard or not??? the validator didnt mind it) but the HTML inside the code tag just works like normal html and it displays the image instead of the code.

help

Your code here.

The one thing you'll have to do with this is replace < signs with &lt; and > signs with &gt;.

I use it here to present code samples and make them stand out.

You have to convert special html charactures into html char equivilant. Most modern text editors will do this for you.

To print this on the screen:

<b>The Image...</b>
<img src="images.example.gif" border="0" width="100" height="100" alt="The Image" />

You need this in your html:

&lt;b&gt;The Image...&lt;/b&gt;<br />
&lt;img src=&quot;images.example.gif&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; width=&quot;100&quot; height=&quot;100&quot; alt=&quot;The Image&quot; /&gt;

thanks so much!

I have a text-to-HTML Entities converter you can use.
