Title: table inquiry
Post by: Jon Brakel on March 05, 2004, 04:22:00 PM
Mirth,

I read on a BB Code board that the following code is how you code tables in BB. It doesn't seem to work. Any idea why?

Unfortunately, this board doesn't recognize those tags.... Must be for some other forum software.

IF I were allowing html you could do tables that way, but I opted not to go that route.

Is there a reason the board doesn't allow html?

I have it turned off due to the potentially unsafe nature of the code. Most bulletin boards do the same.

Alright Jon, I decided there's no point in not allowing html tags, so enjoy!
In order for your code to be processed as html it has to be surrounded by the (not really documented) doHTML tag as follows:

[doHTML]<table border="1">
<tr><td>cell1</td><td>cell2</td></tr>
<tr><td>cell1row2</td><td>cell2row2</td></tr>
</table>
[/doHTML]


would produce this:
[doHTML]<table border="1">
<tr><td>cell1</td><td>cell2</td></tr>
<tr><td>cell1row2</td><td>cell2row2</td></tr>
</table>
[/doHTML]

Cool! You know I wasn't whining or anything, just curious. But I appreciate it. It will make it possible to post flyers as well as attaching them. It will make it easy to post results also, which you could then cut and paste onto the website for Discontinuum stuff.

Thanks!

Nothing.... Damn board restrictions! Not only did I have to enable html tags for the message boards, I had to enable it on a group by group basis.

ugh.

What tipped me off was when I quoted your post & it formatted correctly.
