Funny thing is, I intentionally double checked that I had two t /font tags, and paired the closes with the opens *before* typing in the "Happy Birthday Windsparrow" because of all the problems with that sort of thing. Plus someone else posted after I did and his post wasn't red for me following my post, so I went off to shovel the driveway and didn't check back. I'm using NS 7.02 in OS9

Huh. Weird.

I think it was wigging because of the way some of the autoformatting works, just based on when I looked at the source of the message (thank you, Firefox!). I changed it so that it went "c font font bold happy br birthday br windsparrow /bold /font /font" (ETA: all on one line)

(BTW, you only need the one font tag with size="#" color="color"--it can save a body typing!)

Yeah I've had closed tags unclosed by autoformatting. I will post when I can recreate.

One example I did three bigs and the close change to close bold so:

t big t big t big text to make large t /big t /big t /big

ended up as t big t /b t big t /b t big text to make large t /big t /big t /big t /b

to make sure I'm doing it right I will try this example, then delete

Text to make large

So this following should be small again.

Well everything is closed that should be closed. I could swear this once opened a tag I had closed properly, but maybe that was typo boy error. At any rate the /bs are not neccesary; but it does not seem to be a critical error.

Gus is currently working on completely new tag-closing, DCJ, so this should be a thing of the past once it's tested and implemented.

So I just made a link over in Natter. When I click on it, it takes my current window to that new site. Sometimes i click on a link here and it opens a new window, which I like. How do I make it open a new window?

You need to add the parameter 'target="_blank"' to the link tag, i.e.,

<a href="http://www.buffistas.org" target="_blank">buffistas.org</a>

would look like this, buffistas.org , and open a new window.

Thanks, DX. I'll save that for future use.

Ooh, me too! Thanks, DX.

If someone makes a link like that, is there any way to force it to open in the current window? I know that, on a regular link, you can right-click and click "open in new window" to get it to do that, but is there a way to make one of those not open a new window?

Not that I know of offhand, but that kind of thing is very browser-dependent. Opening in a new tab is usually about the best you can hope for.
