Title: html doesn't work in preview
Post by: Pat Hodgson on May 23, 2006, 10:49:29 AM

It appears to me that when you preview, the html code (e.g. to put in a web site link) is not made active - you see the raw code not the link as you want it to be.  Then when you submit the html works properly (as long as no typos).  It would be nice if the html would work in the preview, then you would know you had done it right before submitting.

Similarly, but less of a problem, the signature is not attached in the preview.

Hmmm... Do you have Disable HTML checked off? HTML coding, as well as my signature work fine. Anyone else have these problems?

It works fine for me. Here's an example:

Maybe "Always allow HTML" needs to be on in ones profile?

Note that you need to press the URL button twice! Once to get the starting tag and once to get the ending tag.

I have HTML On and always allow HTML checked.

The HTML looks fine in the submitted message, it's just that it stays as code when I Preview the message I have written.
