Codeblock formatting issue

384 Contributor
I'm adding the functionality to a site to output code in messages, I have a problem keeping the formatting that the code was entered in.

For example:
Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers
  1. <html>
  2. <head>
  3. <title>test</title>
  4. </head>
  5. <body>
  6.       test
  7. </body>
  8. </html>
The code is being put through htmlspecialchar s() so that it will display, how can I keep the formatting when outputting this code?

Hi, Ziycon.

You can overcome this problem by using the <pre> HTML element.

Thanks for that, I was going to use pre but thought that the htmlspecialchar s() was removing formatting. Thanks for the help.

I recently installed Access 2003 and immediately noticed problems with applications that work fine in 2000 and XP. I use conditional formatting on continuous forms for a number of reasons. When these forms are opened in 2003, Access seems to go into a continuous loop. Has anyone else experienced this problem? Does anyone know of a solution short of not using conditional formatting in continuous forms? Here is an example:

Can you write conditional VBA code that affects only one or two records on a continuous subform? I have a form with a subform on it. The parent/ child field that links the forms is CaseID. The main form has personal info on it. The subform deals with each case's Issues, Decisions, and Notices. Issues, Decisions, and Notices are all combo boxes. Not all Issues have Notices.

I have a database I created on a network share when I print a report from my computer the printed copy contains the colors specified in conditional formatting but if I go to another computer on the network the report prints greyscale. If I change conditional formatting to bold and italic it will work fine but not colors. This is a mix of win2k and XP machines and a mix of access 2000 and 2002

I have a form where the conditional formatting is set on some fields to bold if certain conditions are met. However, when the conditions are met some of the data that is to bold is either not showing or only part of the data in the field displays (i.e. it will display the last name but not the first name or it will display neither). When the conditional formatting is removed it displays all the data as it should be display so the data...

Does anyone know a way you can use conditional formatting to create a banded style view as is commonly seen on the internet. (In othe words the first record appears on a gray background, the 2nd on white, the third on gray etc etc.) I could write an expression based on the odd/even status of the primary key but this wont work when sorting and filtering is applied. Any suggestions gratefully received.

Hello, I have a page with an ImageButton that is used to redirect to another page. When the page first opens, everything looks as expected. However, when I click on the image, the new page opens as expected. However, when I go back to the original page, all the font sizes are larger. Its as if by clicking on the ImageButton, my CSS formatting was discarded. When I look at the source for the following code, this is what I get:

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
