html problem

Postby rgrstvr » Fri Jan 02, 2009 8:42 am

I write this html phrase -

"bbab05....<strong><em><font color=""#CC0000"" size=""5"" face=""Comic Sans MS""> Bambusa beecheyana....
</font></em></strong>Big plant

When I look at it with Dreamweaver there is no problem.

But when it shows up in Shopsite - at the end of 'Bambusa beecheyana' a strange |n| shows up.

The |n| is used internally by ShopSite for a <return> or <Enter> character. My guess is that you have data that contains a return in the text when it should contain a <br> or <p>. So check your text and see if that is the case and if it is replace it with the <br> or <p>

Bambusa beecheyana....
</font>


Why is the </font> on the next line in the above? My guess is that there is a return character there that isn't visible.

Note the <return> or <Enter> I mentioned would be a carriage return or carriage return/line feed combo or a line feed depending on what OS you created your code in. But in any case it would not be a visible character other than seeing that the text is split to a new line after the character.
