Webring code on page
Does anyone know of another way, of putting a ring code on a page. Other than a Textarea box. Do not even go to a 40 mile long Javascript, I don't want that!.
A text area box will not vilidate with HTML in it. I have searched the web over, and cannot find another way.

You could just use a forms input field:
Or just display the code onthe page
blah blah blahA textarea with text in it should validate, can be done in xhtml so should be done in html, some code might be the go

Ok; this is what it looks like. If it is not in the textarea it goes hot, and downloads the banner to the page. That I don't want. But this way it produces parser errors, because you are not suppsed to have html in a textarea, but it works! and is the way everybody does it.
But there should be a way to do the same thing, without parser errors. Besides I don't think the web police should make decisions about something that works, just because they don't personally like it. The way I see it, if it was not correct, it would not work.

Can you use php? If so just do this:
<?phpecho('<textarea name=\"banner_code\" rows=3 cols=65>');
echo(htmlentities('<center><a href=\"http://blueridgesnaps.50webs.com/\"><img src=\"http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v116/steve40/BRS_Banner.jpg\" border=\"0\" alt=\"Steve\'s Blue Ridge Snaps - Nature and Landscape Photography.\"></a></center>'));
echo('</textarea>');
?>

Not on my providers server, no php. This is like being between a rock, and a hard place. I am about wore out with this validating stuff anyway. I think I will block out everybody that does not run IE, an let it go at that.

Wait... why don't you just change < to < and > to > ?? That will cause it to validate and display properly.

If you use this it will display correctly:
<textarea name="banner_code" rows=3 cols=65><center><a href="http://blueridgesnaps.50webs.com/"><img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v116/steve40/BRS_Banner.jpg" border="0" alt="Steve's Blue Ridge Snaps - Nature and Landscape Photography."></a></center></textarea>'steve40 posted this at 23:59 — 17th April 2006.

Well there was no problem with it displaying, it just would not validate. But now it does. I use those little sign language thingys for commas, and dashes all the time. But I never thought about it.
I noticed just as soon as I copied it to the page the blue on the href went out, so I thought --- yea it might validate but will it work. So I copied it to a temp html page, and pop there was the banner. The little sign thingys made it appear as text on the page, so the WDG police couldn't catch it.
Many Thanks ... Steve O.
PS. I knew there was a way to do it.
