So the blockquote alters the flow of the HTML.
No. Tags are supposed to be nested -- closed in reverse order of their opening. Therefore
t b
t blockquote
t i
t /blockquote
t /i
t /b
is incorrect code -- it should be closed like
t /i
t /blockquote
t /b
Some browsers won't let the
t b
bleed past the
t /blockquote
-- I suspect that's strict HTML rendering, actually. Others, like Lee's, don't force the
t /blockquote
to close all the non-blocklevel tags opened before it.
So we should always code
t a
t b
t c
text
t /c
t /b
t /a
?
Actually I usually nest. It is when I convert from a quickedit to a blockquote, etc. that I get into trouble.
Lesson: Don't be lazy.
I just tried to post a message in Natter three times, and all three times it took me to the last message instead of posting it.
Stop hitting "Last" instead of "Post Message".

Hee. Part of what I was going to post was:
I've been awake for about half an hour. I wonder when my brain will be joining me.
Still, I did it three five times. I'm pretty sure I managed to hit the big red box at least once, even though it is morning.
eta: I tried it from IE as well, and the same thing happened there.
eagainta: I just tried again, since Kristin was able to post there. Still no luck.
have you tried restarting the computer yet?
I did, but your question made me try again, and this time it worked.
So now I have to go to work.
