Is Anyone HTML Proficient?

greenspun.com : LUSENET : TimeBomb 2000 (Y2000) Forum Moderators : One Thread

On this thread...

What is a "meme," anyway?

http://www.greenspun.com/bboard/admin-q-and-a-fetch-msg.tcl?msg_id=00182p

The first answer post from Jonathan Latimer, a known De Bunker, included a lot of white space, which made me curious, so I looked and found all this HTML before he just says... Hello.

Is this doing anything? (Added blank spaces so it doesnt activate anything.)

< HTML >
< HEAD >
< META HTTP-EQUIV="Content-Type" CONTENT="text/html; charset=windows-1252" >
< META NAME="Generator" CONTENT="Microsoft Word 97" >
< TITLE>y2kmeme
< META NAME="Template" CONTENT="C:\PROGRAM FILES\MICROSOFT OFFICE\OFFICE\html.dot" >
< /HEAD >
< BODY LINK="#0000ff" VLINK="#800080" >

Thanks. Im HTML lame... and for obvious reasons... newly suspicious.

That looks harmless, if one uses html editors they have this thing about posting meta tags showing the tool used automaticly. Netscape does the same thing.

In this case it was Microsoft and one can tell that he uses a template

Template" CONTENT="C:\PROGRAM FILES\MICROSOFTOFFICE\OFFICE\html.dot">

and where it is in his hard drive. Actually I would consider it sloppy but not a risk :o)

Could always tell him to get a Mac eh?

Thanks Brian.

Just trying to figure out if he was sending thread responses to an Microsoft file .doc.

There was one thread that DID send answers to a completely different forum.

Whew!

What I'd like to see is a way to start a new paragraph, first line indented, without using two carriage returns.
