So i'd like to have my HTML *CODE* show up in a scrolling window.

But the problem i'm having is that, when I put the html into a scrolling window it's active and it does what it is supposed to do: Generate That Code.

I wanted to know if you knew a way to make that code NOT generate when placed in a scrolling window, and to just display the code itself within that box?

thank you

just like as seen in this code box on this page: http://www.freecodesource.com/myspac...?id=L248856558

using character entities.

http://www.w3schools.com/html/html_entities.asp

Here's a basic start to a page with this.

Code:

&lt;!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC &quot;-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN&quot;<br>
&quot;http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd&quot;&gt;<br>
&lt;html&gt;<br>
&lt;head&gt;<br>
&lt;title&gt;Untitled Document&lt;/title&gt;<br>
&lt;meta http-equiv=&quot;Content-Type&quot; content=&quot;text/html; charset=iso-8859-1&quot;&gt;<br>
&lt;/head&gt;
<p>&lt;body&gt;<br>
&lt;/body&gt;<br>
&lt;/html&gt;<br>

The <br> is just to separate lines so it appears more like this in a webpage

Code:

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd">
<html>
<head>
<title>Untitled Document</title>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1">
</head>

<body>
</body>
</html>

Here's one we prepared earlier

Okay, so here's another question: Is there a generator of some kind I can utilize to just Automatically convert the code for me?

I'm looking to convert like 400 independent codes, and I don't want to spend like a week trying to do it manually.

There's got to be a better way, no?

did you read the thread I linked to with the server side code examples?

**Lashtal** · 03-14-2008, 02:23 PM

just got it, thanks.
