Well, I made a guild layout for someone, now heres the problem. I can't find a way to make the code visible so he can veiw it and copy and paste it.

Here is the code.

Code:

<img

fheader5nw.jpg">
<p>
<p>
<p>
<div align="center"><table border="0" cellpadding="0" 

cellspacing="0" width="400" height="262" 

background="http://img164.exs.cx/img164/3751/packofthe

darkwolfblog7xy.png"><tr><td width="425" height="9" 

colspan="2" valign="top"></td></tr><tr><td width=10 

height="240" valign="top"></td><td width=391 

height="240" valign="top"><div style="width: 178px; 

height: 246px; overflow: auto"><div style="padding: 

2px;">
<font color="white">TEXT HERE</font>
<br></div></div></td></tr></table></div>

<div style="width:150; height:150; overflow: auto;">
Your text would go here... Make sure you add enough, 

or the box won't scroll!

You could try putting it in a textarea box.

Or just linking him to this page

Or saving it in notepad and sending it to him.

yep either use a <textarea>code here </textarea> or <xmp>code here</xmp>

I prefer the textbox cause it's takes up less space on the viewing page.

I've always been a fan of xmp tags but that's because I don't like the look of text boxes

Text areas look awsome! >.> What are you talking about?

Yeah, <textarea> HTML goes here </textarea>

If you want it bigger, just go <textarea width='#' height='#'> Stuff here </textarea>

If you dont set a width and height, its going to be really tiny. >.>

Textboxes are just downright ugly no matter what size they are. They can be made a little better by changing colours and whatever else but it still doesn't change the fact that they're text boxes.

Yup. XMP is much better. You could just send him a .txt document though..

The only "correct" way to do this is to replace all & with &, > with >, and < with <. You can then paste it anywhere into the page (could use a textarea/pre/code tag if you want to, but you still need to do the replacements).

TEXTAREA tags are not supposed to contain HTML -- you still need to escape < & > if you use a TEXTAREA box. Just try putting the code for a textarea box into a textarea box, and you'll see why.
XMP is deprecated (the same problem with breaking HTML rules about escaping < & > also applies to this one).
