lutz Posted July 29, 2001 Share Posted July 29, 2001 On browsing thru threads I stumbled across Tom Bryant's "Again the HTML is screwed up. Is there a way to preview a submission on this site, like you can the ads?" <p> This is what I found out will work: <p> Just highlight and copy your submission (before submitting...;o), paste it into a blank text file (of any text editor) and save it as "whatever.htm". Then "open" that "page" thru the "file" menu of your browser. While the layout might still screw up, your links will be ready for verification. <p> As an alternative I propose to sacrifice THIS thread as a playground for tests before submitting to the correct thread...?! How's that? Just remember to save your submission (HTML and all included) at least on the clipboard of your computer before test-submitting. Otherwise "Kansas is going bye-bye..." ;o) <p> Finally, since Tom doesn't seem to have reproposed the correct link to his site, I'm going to do it: <p> <A HREF="http://208.218.135.74/top/top.html">Tom's site</A> <p> Go there, folks, if you haven't so far! It is so full of advice, commonsense and a very subtle humour. <p> Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fergus_hammond Posted July 29, 2001 Share Posted July 29, 2001 I do a similiar thing but I use Adobe's web editor, GoLive. I type in the editing window, include my links and images, then select all the text and switch to the HTML source view. Just the relevant HTML is selected (none of the header information), which I then copy and paste into the editing window here. Easy!

tony_rowlett2 Posted July 29, 2001 Share Posted July 29, 2001 Though it takes a few extra steps, Lutz's procedure above does work. To test how a page will look, web page designers typically point their browsers to working copies of a web page - or entire "site" -- on a local hard drive (like drive C:) before uploading to the "for real" version on the Internet. Users of LUSENET can do the same thing. This can be especially useful for tables, graphics, and special formatting. Certainly this is not a practical when posting regular text.<p> INSTRUCTIONS: <OL> <LI>For Windows users, use Wordpad or Write (both included with Windows) to create a text file on your C: drive with your complete posting, just like you would enter it here. Use whatever HTML you need to create tables, include images or other graphics. <LI>Save your file with .HTM as the extension. Example: C:\TESTPOST.HTM. It's a good idea to create a folder for this because it's NEVER a good idea to cloud the root directory of your hard drive with miscellaneous files of this sort. So a better example would be C:\<U>LUSENET</U>\TESTPOST.HTM. The underlined portion of that is my new folder. <LI>Open your browser. You don't need to be connected to the internet yet unless resources that are available only on the internet are being referred to with your posting. In the Location field (for Netscape) or Go To field (for IE), type the complete name to the file you just created. Don't start with "http://..." like typical web URLs. In this case, the URL is a local file, so in my example I would type: C:\LUSENET\TESTPOST.HTM. Press Enter and wa la. You can preview the body of your post. </OL> Another - and much swifter - way to accomplish a preview of your posting is to visit <a href="http://www.greenspun.com/bboard/q-and-a-fetch-msg.tcl?msg_id=002 lhb">Allan Engelhardt's post</a> to the <a href="http://www.greenspun.com/bboard/q-and-a.tcl?topic=People%20Photo graphy">People Photography Forum</a> entitled <a href="http://www.greenspun.com/bboard/q-and-a-fetch-msg.tcl?msg_id=002 lhb">Ask questions with preview</a>. This little bit of programming genius - affectionately referred to as a "post hack" by Allan himself, allows you to preview your posts with just a few clicks! You don't have to fool around with creating files on your hard drive, etc.<p> Let me know if I can assist you in any way with posting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tony_rowlett2 Posted July 29, 2001 Share Posted July 29, 2001 I went to Allan's post hack page, but to proceed to posting to our Leica forum, it listed out all 14,395,685 LUSENET forums <i>in alphabetic order!</i> Since ours begins with "L," it took a long time over my 28.8 connection. So for you, instead of waiting, just click on <a href="http://cybaea.com/cgi-bin/post-new.pl?FORUM=Leica%20Photography" >http://cybaea.com/cgi-bin/post-new.pl?FORUM=Leica%20Photography</a> and you'll be presented with a form that resembles the actual form to start a new thread here.

tony_rowlett2 Posted July 29, 2001 Share Posted July 29, 2001 One caveat: Allan's "post hack" to preview before posting works only for starting new threads, not for adding responses to existing threads.<p> Let me just remind you that, for 98.5% of our members, none of this is necessary because simple "text" is the only thing we use, so no preview is really necessary. All this is useful only when you're including tables, pictures, graphics, or weird formatting. Weird formatting can adversely affect the formatting of successive posts to a thread, so one needs to be careful to close any HTML tags.<p> Now... on to our regularly scheduled programming.

art_karr Posted July 29, 2001 Share Posted July 29, 2001 Tony: <p> Alternatively, you could go to: <p> <A HREF="http://www.greenspun.com/bboard/q-and-a.tcl?topic=HTML%20test%20forum"> HTML Test</A> <p> on this server to look at the results of your HTML commands before posting here. <p> Art Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sam_smith3 Posted July 29, 2001 Share Posted July 29, 2001 How does one post a reply in italics or bold text or post a web address and have it come up in color so that one can just click on it to take you straight there? When I do these things in MS Word and transfer them to this forum's 'Answer' box they all revert to plain text and any web address' I might of posted are not linked.

art_karr Posted July 29, 2001 Share Posted July 29, 2001 Sam: <p> You need to write direct HTML code on the site. Everything is surrounded by <> <p> Bold tags are b followed by /b to close the tag;Italics are i followed by /i <p> For links, just go to view and source and see how it is done. <p> For CNN it would be: <p> < A HREF="cnn.com"> CNN < /A > <p> The only space inside the <> should be between A and HREF. <p> Hence; <A HREF="http:www.cnn.com"> CNN</A> <p> Art Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
art_karr Posted July 30, 2001 Share Posted July 30, 2001 If you are interested the NCSA site has an HTML primer which gives you the simple instructions that you need here. We will give it a try.

lutz Posted August 31, 2001 Author Share Posted August 31, 2001 Every once in a post I stumble across links to GREAT picture sites I hadn't the slightest idea of. That's why I want to propose to dedicate this thread to this kind of links and make it an archive to grow in time. I'm going to post two other threads, one for our OWN galleries (which may be equally GREAT but nice to have in a dedicated place, for easy reference...;o) and one for links to phototechnique. Hope you'll enjoy this and participate. For everybody to make the links "clickable": copy and paste the HTML below in your post, then substitute my text with the URL and the name of the link you're proposing: <P><TABLE BORDER=1> <TR> <TD> <P><A HREF="Substitute this text by the URL you're proposing">Substitute this text by the name of your link</A> </TD></TR> </TABLE></P> To make a start I'm reproposing <A HREF="http://www.time.com/time/btf/ index_intro.html">Beyond The Fall</A> - a photographic project by Anthony Suau on the former Sovietic block in transition from 1989 to 1999. An impressive body of outstanding b&w documentary photography in the tradition of great Leica masters, accompanied by most informative personal comments. Anthony uses M6s. The British edition of his book is splendid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
