Question
Ever tried to code a bullet in a web page? Or make a "<" actually appear on the page? To use special characters in web pages, you need to use HTML character entities.
A brief explanation: http://www.utoronto.ca/webdocs/HTMLd.../entities.html
A reference page: http://www.natural-innovations.com/wa/doc-charset.html
For example, if you wanted to show a bullet in HTML, you'd code (without the spaces) either the number
& # 8226 ; or & bull ; .

Great reference page, savedit! - I have noticed a
lot of things I thought I had saved previously are AWOL.

Also I am extremely bad about NOT using the proper coding for special characters, and this is a good reminder for me, thanks.
I'll do better, promise!

LOL.... I just sent this to you and as soon as I did I thought mmmm I wonder if Jayne put this in the web forum.
It is a fantastic reference page... I am going to save it to my hard drive so I don't lose it if they yank the site.
THANK YOU AGAIN JAYNE!!!!!!!!!
