This keeps apperaing in the advanced html section in the footer box...I have to keep deleting it everytime I go in there because it messes up my board. ( i removed the arrow things for the sake of being able to post it here)
/textarea
/div

div class="spacer"></div
!-- feature --

The code must have been added to the custom html area at some time, the problem is that the textarea tag has been used it is a nightmare to get rid of once it's been added.
If you ask on one of the regular help forums, not cool tips n tricks, one of the mods there, or the ezboard staff should be able to remove the code for you.
I don't have the kind of access to boards the same as they have.

Would a restoral not fix this problem,(of course, be sure to make back-ups of any coding that you need, then re-enter it in after the restoral.

The textarea tag is there because that's the HTML for the rest of the Custom HTML page; usually this happens as a result of an open HTML comment in the code you've entered. When it's happened to me, I've always just copied what I have in each box into notepad, fixed the error in that copy, and then pasted it back in after I've used the Clear Custom HTML option.

I do the same, each time I make an alteration to my coding, I create a Word document with all the coding before the update.
As for what Te1emachus said, make sure you have an equal ammount of opening and closing codes, easiest way to do this is to copy your coding onto a Word document, then counting the codes, they should alternate, eg, open/close/open/close.

Do not copy code into Word or any other word processor for that matter!! That is one of the easiest ways to wreck your code.
Save all code in a plain text editor such as Emacs, Notepad, ConTEXT, EditPad, WordPad etc that preserves code formatting and more importantly, does not replace any characters like quotes in your code. Just dont use something like Word. Worst advice ever!

You don't think I know that Word activates links and quotes, I disable all those features, would of thought that was obvious, hence the advice wasn't that bad,I mean if you're fiddling about with HTML coding, surely you'd know the basics of a 20 year old program.
But true, NotePad is better for seeing it all, I just prefer Word myself as it's easier to use for reference, which is why I use both Word and NotePad, but treat the Word one in the same was as NotePad).
I never edit the code in Word, I just use it for a backup, if I edit the code, I use my NotePad version of the save, the Word one is just for reference.
Word: Reference & previous versions, with all features like linking disabled,so it's just text.
NotePad: Editing of existing codes and known variables.
EzBoard HTML Section: Adding of new codes.
Personally I've never had any problems with Word, since I disable all features making it a NotePad type format it's always worked for me, (this way I can skip a page to sperate different sections, and also have all the coding in 1 area for reference, then I edit the code on the NotePad version, then add it to the board, this way, if I mess the code up, I just load in the previous version again, I always keep the 3 oldest versions anyhow, just in case, and 1 of them is even on a seperate hard-drive).

If you remove the side-bar coding, does it stop happening, if so, that's where the problem most likely lies, and it will make finding a solution easier.
Posted: 12/9/05 4:29 pm Re: I really don't know the answer to this one!
Also, check the CTnT forum too, I'm sure there's stuff about sidebars there, many of the codes there work with little or no problems, and are checked and even wrote by expert coders such as chrish18.

Well I wrote the wizard too One day sidebar questions will drive Don to drink I'm sure

Now I know where my booze went, lol.
I think it's because they can be varied so much, that even if someone takes a standard sidebar code, they soon want to change it's layout and style to make it more individual to their board.
Cool Tips & Tricks
One day sidebar questions will drive Don to drink I'm sure
