I guess that could work but it's not a permanent fix for the problem. I had a look at the source code for this page and tek-tips use a css class for their code tags (which do exactly what I'm after) so I'm going to the css forum. Cheers anyway! m@

Thanks Linney - I've decided to get the owner to change the language. Too much hassle for a freebie fix!

HaHa - you're writing replies quicker than I can! I'll have a word with my web host - nowdoc seems to be the answer. Will update the thread if I can. Thanks for your help! Regards, m@

(message to self - read the error message) The problem isn't line 17 in the source - it's line 17 in the include file. Here's the whole include file mentioned in the error message - line 17 is in bold: <p class="boxtitle">electric-box - a VERY addictive puzzle game</p> <div...

That looked promising but it didn't work. Here's the code I used - example1 displays it in html then example2 uses your suggestion: <div class="textleft"> Example1:<br>...

Hi, I'm trying to keep a long string contained in a div - the problem is I'm not defining the string and it may contain all types of quotes and other control characters (the string is computer generated) Here's an example...
