I'm preparing a template using nothing other than simple tables etc. You can see it at <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.hyperdrivei.com/LARletterTEST">http://www.hyperdrivei.com/LARletterTEST</a><!-- m --><br />
Looks fine on the MAC and gets mangled on the PC. If you have both, please check. On the PC it leaves out the bar on the left enclosing the letter, and offsets the top right corner of the letter by about 1pixel or so. This is really driving me nuts. Thanks in advance should anyone tackle this.
<!--content-->You have a lot of issues, I think because you used an HTML editor.<br />
In the beginning you need these codes before your <body> tag:<br />
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN"><br />
<html><br />
<head><br />
<title>Title</title><br />
</head><br />
<br />
Next your comments look like this:<br />
<!/// Some Comments ///><br />
They have to look like this <br />
<!-- Some Comments --><br />
<br />
At the end of the document after </body><br />
put </html><br />
This is a start there are other issues though. I got your page to load in Mozilla on windows but not I.E. <br />
Nested tables are dangerous but should work. I hope this helps.<br />
<br />
:rocker:<!--content-->Um.... My site is (<!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.freewebs.com/bL-">http://www.freewebs.com/bL-</a><!-- m -->) i need someone to help me. on the left, there are links. but i need someone to help me add a scrollbar on the left it should look like this<br />
Link | <-Bar<br />

ok Well if you have any help just post a thread ok. L8ter<!--content-->Thanks for looking it over. I'm aware of the html tags etc. and that would be relevant if this was a website template, but it's a template for sending out mass emails via the exacttarget.com interface, and anything outside the body tag isn't necessary, but you did mention the nested table, maybe I can get around using that and and maybe that will fix it. Thanks. One quick question though? Why do you say messages should be like <!----- that------> instead of <br />
<!/////// That ///////>. Isn't the message tag just <!>. Just curious.<br />
Thanks again.<!--content-->I FIXED IT. needed a bgcolor for the cell on the right after avoided using nested tables.<!--content-->Originally posted by dehayst <br />

no, it is this <!-- --><br />

you can have anything you want between the -- --<!--content-->I'm sure that I have seen this thread in at least two other places already...<br />
<br />
<br />
Enclose any inline Javascript code inside this sort of <!-- comment // --> tags, and all of the CSS style code, and any other comments within the HTML part, in this sort of <!-- comment --> tag pair. <br />
<br />
<br />
You also need to deal with these issues: <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.hyperdrivei.com%2FLARletterTEST&charset=iso-8859-1+%28Western+Europe%29&doctype=HTML+4.01+Transitional&ss=1&sp=1&outline=1&verbose=1">http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=http% ... &verbose=1</a><!-- m --><br />
<br />
<br />
Check all the other threads you started for other information.<!--content-->Well since <!comment> works in Explorer atleast. Where doesn't it work?<!--content-->I know all the books say <!--comment--> is the right way. I'm just asking for conversation's sake. Why are the dashes need?<br />
<br />
Thanks for everything guys.<br />
<br />
Later<!--content-->You use <!-- and --> because those are the tags that are specifically reserved for comments.<br />
<br />
You use <table> for a table, and <p> for a paragraph. You use <!-- and --> for comments. All other tags not defined should be ignored by the browser, but that is no excuse to invent your own markup.<br />
<br />
In theory <::~~**!! this is a comment ++##&&::> will work, but is NOT VALID CODE and should not be used.<br />
<br />
<br />
By the way <!--comment--> is not valid code. It is <!-- comment --> instead, so note the space between the tag and the comment word.<!--content-->
