    Solved Edit box changes code

    Post by boffer10 April 17th 2014, 4:46 am

    I've been having the problem in post edit boxes and in the AP edit boxes.  When I put in a code and click Preview, the code will display properly.  If I hit preview again, the code is changed.  It happens in multiple browsers and on multiple forums, including here.

    This is a simple code that I used for several years with no problems.  It's been in the last six months or so that I've had this problem.

    Code:

    The first time I hit preview:

    The second time I hit preview:

    It's easy to duplicate: just copy/paste my code into a reply edit box.  Click Preview once, then a second time.

    I've re-written the code in HTML and get the same results.  I have several different codes in my Homepage Message Box that are doing something similar when I hit the save button a second time.

    Any suggestions?

    Thanks

    For some reason it is removing this part of the code:
    Code:
    background="http://i62.servimg.com/u/f62/14/92/49/47/interl11.gif"

    Hi Very Happy

    Following his post, why don't you try implementing it in the style area instead? You can do something like:

    Code:
    style="background-image:url(img link here);"

    If that doesn't work, re-upload the picture in another server.

    It appears that putting background image in style might be the answer for this code. I'll play with the other codes more tonight. Thanks. (Not completely solved yet!)

    Hi Very Happy

    Following what he said, just put all the styles in the Css but make sure you declare a name and do something like:

    Code:
    .tdesign {
      Style}

    And this in the post:

    Code:
    [table class="tdesign"][tr][td][/td][/tr][/table]

    Hello boffer10,

    The background attribute for tables does not seem to be supported anymore by the current editor. As Pizza boi has recommended, you should use the style attribute to write your CSS styles for tables.

    Ex :
    Code:
    [table style="background:url('http://i62.servimg.com/u/f62/14/92/49/47/interl11.gif'); width:400px; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;  border:1px solid black;moz-border-radius: 10px; webkit-border-radius: 10px; border-radius: 10px;"][tr][td style="width:10px;"]  [/td][td][img]http://boffers.omgforum.net/users/2011/12/68/81/avatars/2-4.gif[/img][/td][td ][center][color=black][font=verdana]Let me tell you 'bout the old days when...
    we used to do our gardening on the ground![/font][/color][/center][/td][/tr][/table]

    I've tried the style attribute in several other tables that were doing the same thing, and that appears to be the fix.

    Thanks for the help. This one can be marked solved.
