'Our Mrs. Reynolds'
Do you have problems, concerns or recommendations about the technical side of the Phoenix? Air them here. Compliments also welcome.
Slowly? OK.
The HTML tag for a link looks kind of like this:
t a href="http://www.micheletepper.com" Me! t /a
You left off the end quotation mark at the end of that URL string, which meant that the browser thought that the URL just kept going and going and going and going.
ita fixed it by adding the final quotation mark back in.
Sorry about that unclosed HTML thing, gang. I just get so carried away with the abilility to do roman-numeral lists... we were thinking about some kind of HTML-parsing thing to automatically close that kind of thing, weren't we, before I went away?
That still seems scary to me, but ita was confident it could be made to work in theory -- ita, what's the story with that? It's not really urgent, is it?
I'll have some fixing-long-URL code this week for sure.
The story with it is that I haven't written it yet.
Sorry about that unclosed HTML thing, gang.
Actually, your error was more subtle. You opened the list with a t UL but closed it with a t /OL
So, I'm still an idiot, but I'm a knowledgeable idiot?
A little knowledge is a dangerous thing.
I just had my first weird bug-that-can-only-be-discovered-through-random-user-behavior.
Where was this?
Over in the Angel thread, but I did again when I tried to explain what happened over here. I'm fairly sure that my text was stripped because the open caret made it look like bad html.
Do you mean you used one of these: < ? Those have to be written using the entity <.
Feature request, if possible. On the confirmation page for "set profile", if the proposed tagline could be already limited to what's allowable (rather than just reiteration of what I pasted in there). As an alternative, perhaps a line above the tagline entry box that says how many characters are allowed.
