hello
this may sound like a silly question but how do i post code on these forums
say i want to post code for this…
\< span onclick=“window.open(‘[http://www.kirupa.com](http://www.kirupa.com)’,‘win’,‘width=450,height=350’); return false” \> click for pop up \< / span \>
on other e-z board forums all i do
is (again without the sapces)
\< span onclick=“window.open(‘[http://www.kirupa.com](http://www.kirupa.com)’,‘win’,‘width=450,height=350’); return false” \> click for pop up \< / span \>
but on this forums it acctualy executes the html code…
and just shows this
```auto
click for pop up
```
how can get around this?
don’t tell me i need to change all the chevrons to their html code
thanks

this forum does not allow you to post html. You can however use a limited amount of VB code.

does each forum have their own settings
for example i can’t do this in the client side forum
```auto
Hello
```
in the client side it would look like this
```auto
Hello
```
why is this?

Due to security issues we found in the past, the Administrator of this forum disabled all HTML code in the posts. vB code is still allowed, though.

thats not what he’s asking. He means that the client side forum isn’t allowing him to show his tags when he posts a code for people to look at.
Try using the PHP tags instead [_PHP][_/PHP] just remove the \*

Well i’m just pointing out that the forum has the ability to disable executing code or not.
