Unfortunately, I was confused when I submitted an entry into the JavaScript forum and *red-flagged* my own post as a duplicate. I thought I had posted two identical tips to the one forum - I was looking at "My Threads". Doh!

Here I go again...

Can users **PLEASE** ensure that when they post code examples that they include the opening [ignore]
Code:
[/ignore] and closing [ignore]
[/ignore] tags.

We are all trying to help each other, but simply pasting the code into the post, without previewing for mistakes only delays responses.

The following tag [ignore][/ignore] is a particular problem, since any piece of JavaScript which uses arrays, probably has [ignore]arrayName=...[/ignore] or something similar. By not wrapping the posted code, the array index tag is "gobbled up" and turns on ITALICS.

Please read the page, if you haven't done so already.

Bummer... I just realised that when they (the moderators) delete you're posting, you lose your "TipMaster Votes" associated with it! :-(

Don't fret about the lost votes. It's more important that you trust in yourself and your abilities than to hang your hat on some votes.



There's always a better way. The fun is trying to find it!
 
Great tip WartookMan !

just to add to tviman's reply also. deffinetely don't take the star votes to seriously gained, lost or what not. They are cool and I haven't found a member that doesn't like getting one yet, but the main purpose we're all here is to help each other out because that is the main objective of the site; to help one another out.

Everyone is recognized as helpful just by the means in which they present themselves here, star or no star's. [smile]
