i figured out from another thread that you put <xmp>blah</xmp> to make html codes show up on a page..but when i put it on, the codes are a tiny font..how do i make it bigger and a different font?

You could try putting it in the CSS Im *not sure* if it will work or not though just try putting something like

xmp{
font-size:whatever }

and whatever else you want..

:( nope..didn't work..oh and i want to figure out how to make it so that the stuff between <xmp> and </xmp> won't always start a new line

You could always use this:

&lt;a href="link.htm"&gt;

So just replace < with &lt; and > with &gt;

I used the xmp on one page of my site, but when i used another tag with it (i think it was a center tag) it reverted to my standard font. So try using <xmp><font size="whatever">

you actually just need to use &lt; for the <. it only uses scripts using < and > together

using that code will make <font size="whatever"> also show up as normal html, since it is INSIDE the <xmp> coding.

try <font size="whatever"><xmp>coding here</xmp></font>

if that doesn't work then just use the way kittycat says, then it will show up as part of your normal font sizing

kittycat..what do you mean by the code u gave me?

Well... a regular HTML code would be like <a href="link.html">, and if you typed that in it would make a link.

If you replace the < and > with those codes I put above, the actual code will show up on the page.

So when you're writing the code that you want to show up on the page, replace any '<' with '&lt;' and any '>' with '&gt;'. They don't show up here, but if you just to a test one on a page the code will show up just as if you used <xmp>.

I don't think a lot of that makes sense lol

oh..but then when i use <xmp> the font's small n really screwed up looking...how can i change that? [the <font-face=verdana size=1...etc> didn't work..it actually messed up my text AFTER that bit..] hm...and <xmp> makes it start a new line everytime..how can i fix that? cuz there are parts on the page where i want to type out like "put this code between < head > and < / head >..etc. heres the page if you guys are kinda confused at what im getting at: http://www31.brinkster.com/twix2006/popup.html
plz help!!!!!!

kittycat suggested you a way, i would suggest trying that too without the <xmp> code.

so wouldn't it turn out just as if i were using <xmp>? but i'll try that..see if there's any difference

this is what i put on my html:
-------------------------------------------------------------
ex: first pop up
<br><br>
&lt<script language="javascript">
//<!--
function xanga()
{ window.open ("http://www.xanga.com/home.aspx?user=twix2006","popupX","width=800,height=400,location=1,menubar=1,resizabl e=1,scrollbars=1,status=0,titlebar=1,toolbar=1,lef t=400, top=100") }
-->
</script>&gt
&lt<a href="javascript:xanga()">go to my xanga</a>&gt
------------------------------------------------------------
but then..this is what showed up:

ex: first pop up

<> <go to my xanga>
-------------------------------------------------
did i do something wrong?

From that... it looks like you might not have replaced all of the < and > and just added the extra codes... just an example from the last line, it should look something like:
&lt;a href="javascript:xanga()"&gt;go to my xanga&lt;/a&gt;

Note: it won't look exactly like the <xmp> code, it works basically the same but won't have the small font size, it will be the same size as the rest of your text.

oopz..i guess the last line code didn't fully show up...so you're saying just put &lt and &gt b4 and after the < and >? cuz thats what i did

wait..nvm..i left out the ; :P

hm.. i put the codes before and after the actual javascript code..but all it did was "delete" the whole code except for <>..or is this code not meant for javascript..?

I'm not entirely sure, but there's a possibility that it isn't. You might just be better off to use a textarea or the <xmp> code for any javascript that you want to show.

you have to replace < with &lt; and > with &gt; not adding just extra < and >

maybe a tip would be:

open Word. Type in your code you want to show on your website. then go to Edit > replace (you can also press ctrl + H)

fill in "search for" with the "<" sign
and fill in "replace with" with the "&lt;"
click "replace all"

then do the same again for the > sign. After finishing that you copy the whole code and paste it into your website and it should view

ooooooo. haha...i kno what i did wrong now!! i didn't change ALL the < and > :P..i only did the beginning and end...stupid me..

it worked :D tnx..can't believe how stupid i was :P
