Tables in the journal?

Distilled1	Date: July 2, 2006 @ 4:33 PM Will they work? I haven't tryed, but our gothnights radio page journal is way to long I would like to put some of the clickables in some small cells so the page is shorter. Any help
hantu	Date: July 2, 2006 @ 4:43 PM I have tried a number of times before, they didn't work for me.
Distilled1	Date: July 2, 2006 @ 4:50 PM I thought I did I bet there is some way to do it I guess I may have to open the HTML4 text book and see how to place stuff around in a page without them.
hantu	Date: July 2, 2006 @ 4:54 PM great! when you figure that out, let me know.
ChillinBuzz	Date: July 2, 2006 @ 11:07 PM tag isn't part of the journal tags allowed shame really... but I could see hilarious and outright evil results stemming from its' use
Distilled1	Date: July 2, 2006 @ 11:41 PM Yes I could see it to!! There's html to do similar I just like tables I use them and know the tags
jack	Date: July 2, 2006 @ 11:46 PM Enjoy the HTML while it lasts, I have a good feeling we'll be killing even more tags when the redesign comes.
TameasDust	Date: July 2, 2006 @ 11:47 PM oh goodie
ChillinBuzz	Date: July 2, 2006 @ 11:55 PM even more tags to go? oh no! there aren't that many left as it is!
jack	Date: July 2, 2006 @ 11:59 PM they'll be replaced with BB code, which you should be using anyway.
TameasDust	Date: July 3, 2006 @ 12:55 AM is that the same as pellet code?
victorsskull	Date: July 3, 2006 @ 12:57 AM or morse code
freddemillio	Date: July 3, 2006 @ 1:16 AM BB Code: http://www.alionet.org/index.php?act=legends&CODE=bbcode&s= It's in but the essentials are in English and I think you'll get the idea. BB Code bears a resemblance to html. Jack, is BB Code already implemented? I just tried some in the preview and it did not work. Is it me or the site?
TameasDust	Date: July 3, 2006 @ 5:54 AM BBCode is a special implementation of HTML. Whether you can use BBCode is determined by the administrator. You can also disable it on a per post basis from the posting form. BBCode itself is similar in style to HTML: tags are enclosed in square braces [ and ] rather than and it offers greater control over what and how something is displayed.

jack	Date: July 3, 2006 @ 6:41 AM BB code that should definitely work now: B I U IMG Some HTML will remain enabled, but specifically, I'm killing the {img} and probably a few others too.
TameasDust	Date: July 3, 2006 @ 7:21 AM will repair after the change ... should take me a week
hantu	Date: July 3, 2006 @ 7:58 AM killing img? oh dear!
jack	Date: July 3, 2006 @ 8:22 AM replacing it with a BB code equivilent, of course, but with the way the redesign is designed, if someone posts a huge image it will totally nuke the layout.
GreatGooglyM...	Date: July 3, 2006 @ 8:40 AM Yeah, I agree totally with Jack. Those huge images are really annoying.
hantu	Date: July 3, 2006 @ 8:50 AM so you have to tell it to kill the img code if the image is too big?
jack	Date: July 3, 2006 @ 9:02 AM no, it's resized as a clickable thumbnail automatically if it's above a certain threshold.
hantu	Date: July 3, 2006 @ 9:11 AM Oh splendid!
Distilled1	Date: July 3, 2006 @ 4:37 PM BB code rocks! for use in forums and journals and such Thats grat that it will auto tumbnsil, as I have done the wrong img and sent a 1200 pi wide jpeg
Distilled1	Date: July 3, 2006 @ 4:38 PM So Jack how about something like I was asking about split the artist journat intop two colums? I don't know something?
TameasDust	Date: July 3, 2006 @ 7:08 PM experimenting
TameasDust	Date: July 3, 2006 @ 7:09 PM cool
TameasDust	Date: July 3, 2006 @ 7:16 PM more experimenting - Abortive Mind - Adam's God - AdVirus :
TameasDust	Date: July 3, 2006 @ 7:16 PM wahooooo
Woof	Date: July 3, 2006 @ 10:29 PM Tablets in the urinal? They're SUPPOSED to be there. And they are NOT big white mints!
Dizeazed	Date: July 4, 2006 @ 2:54 AM Bah...
TameasDust	Date: July 4, 2006 @ 10:24 AM well I prefer oak tables ... they are better at holding LOTS of stuff
Distilled1	Date: July 4, 2006 @ 10:26 AM
zedsalt	Date: July 4, 2006 @ 11:05 AM Whoever named them urinal "cakes"...knowing full well one shouldn't eat them...either lacked foresight or was just plain cruel.
TameasDust	Date: July 5, 2006 @ 12:07 AM but they do freshen your breath over a long period of time while you are recovering in hospital
ChillinBuzz	Date: July 5, 2006 @ 5:08 PM BB code definitely is better will have to make sure a write-up ensues on the codes available, though i will still miss my CLASS attributes
Etheracide	Date: July 6, 2006 @ 12:12 AM When I write programs I create a sortof BB code for any type of user-submitted information. And I have impemented tables with an open table and close table code. But I HAD to add a line of code that makes certain that a close table code was used if an open table was used or else the whole original 'template' would get nuked out of proportion because of the unclosed table being printed to the browser. Another good idea is to make sure that posters know that they should use only percentage width and height attribute variables. The percentage value would be in relation to the rest of the layout. But putting in a numberical value could blow out the rest of the layout if they use a value that's larger than the layout would allow. Pretty much the only other way to define where text (or any object) is placed is to use CSS (Cascading Style Sheets). You would create a class and set X and Y values and then use that span class on the text that you want positioned in a certain place. And although most people say to use CSS over tables for page layouts, tables would be far easier in this instance. Yes, I am bored.
