I see "disable HTML in this message" box down
but it seems does not take effect as I type:
<div>
<table>
<tr>
<td>html?</td>
</tr>
</table>
</div>

anyone who can tell me what's wrong ?
thanks!

<head><title>sdfsdf</title></head>

</html>

I think there are list of allowed tags.

no...I don't think there's a allowed tag list.
<table>
<htnl>
<head>
<title>
<tr>
<td>
I have tried all these above, which seem to be the most commonly used tags, no excuse to abandon them.

You can see the difference when you go back and "edit" your message.

<strong> strong </strong> (Disable HTML = keeps the "<>" as a single characters)

<strong> strong </strong> (Disable HTML uncheck = converts the tags to extended representation: & quot ; & lt ; & gt ;& quot ; rather than single character - separated so the chars won't be acted on)

Apparently it doesn't have a bearing on whether the HTML tags are acted upon, only but they are handled when stored in the database.

then...there is no way to keep a html file in our message ?

Are you trying to use HTML to control the display of your message, or just want to paste in HTML for some other reason (i.e. to distribute code)?

You could also just attach an HTML file, rather than trying to post the HTML contents of it in a message.

I don't know this list, but I think it exist.
And tags in my post isn't list of allowed tags - it's simple test for showing work of and

tags and not work other.

You can set the allowed html tags in the Admin Console ... the default "list" is:
u, a, img, i, u, li, ul, font, br, p, b

underline
italics
bold
Bigger font (font tag works!)

Paragraph one of stuff. l kajd f;kajd kjd ;jd ;fkjad kaj fd ;akjd ;kaj ;ad ;akd f;adkj akdj akdj ;akdj ;akjd ;akd akjd ;a d;ad ;a

Paragraph two of stuff. l kajd f;kajd kjd ;jd ;fkjad kaj fd ;akjd ;kaj ;ad ;akd f;adkj akdj akdj ;akdj ;akjd ;akd akjd ;a d;ad ;a

(Looks paragraph tags work just fine too)

  • List item 1

  • List item 2


So, if you want to allow any other HTML tags to be used, you would need to add them in the Admin Console.

I would guess that not EVERY html tag is supported. And the <marquee> tag was originally an IE extension (which not every browser supported).
