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

<span onclick="window.open('http://www.kirupa.com','win','width=450,height=350'); return false">click for pop up</span>

```

how can get around this?  
don’t tell me i need to change all the chevrons to their html code

thanks
