Posted: 1/8/02 5:39 am What to do if you mess up your edit pages with bad html
If you get a bit overzealous and make a mistake with your html, you can end up ruining your board, and making your edit pages fail to render which means you can't even fix it!
The most common mistakes are to leave out a closing </style> tag or </script> tag. Or to put a <noscript> tag into a forum name.
If the edit page does not have a reset html button, then here's how to fix it yourself:
----------
1. Open your edit page, and view source. Save it to your hard disk as an html file.
2. Open it in notepad or an html editor
3. Look through the source code until you find the problem. If it's a missing end tag, add it in. If you can't tell what is causing the problem, remove all code that you added in.
4. Save and open in a browser.
5. If the page is now correct, press the submit changes or ok button.
------------
For the <noscript> tag in a forum name, the fix is as follows:
1. click on the forum name in my ezboard
2. select general
3. this page will have almost nothing on it... save it to your hard disk as an html file
4. open in notepad, and go through the source until you find the tag you've put in (eg, <noscript> - it will come after this code: <span class="biglink">General Customizations for... )
5. delete tag or code, then save the file.
6. View in a browser. The whole page should appear properly. Delete the code from your forum name in the forum name box and press save changes.
