It's like, in the middle of all this, I'm paranoid that you'll think I don't like poetry.

OK so it's pink for the rest of that table cell in my browser, i.e. the

is not pink because the post area is one table cell, but the posting box and instructions are outside that cell and presumably the whole table as well.

Now I'm going to post with an unclosed link tag:

And again, the linkiness extends for the rest of the pos (but doesn't over-write the

links) but it doesn't extend down to the posting box.

Again, it's my mileage, so it may vary, but I'm on IE5 on Mac.

It's working well in Opera on a Mac.

Unclosed B tag:

Text on this page bold, or what?

Pink as Msbelle's plates here.

Bold now.

Test to see if later posts are bold

I make a preliminary diagnosis that it's because all posts on WX were in their own TD and here all posts are in Ps inside one big TD that extends for the whole of the post area.

WX was just lucky.

Hmm. PF closed my unclosed tags for me.

D'oh!

Oh well.

So it would mean counting opened tags inside each post, that would be all we'd need to do?

Maybe I'm going to completely reverse my position. I'm allowed to do that, right?

What would we need to do, count all opening tags in each post on display? Or just once on Save?

If I only had a brain...

This entire page is pink in IE6.
