How to share codes on the boards of AncientWorlds, and here at Arachne's Web

There are several ways you can share and save codes. The two most commonly used are text fields and "fill in the gaps". Text fields are easy to create, once you get the hang of it. Anyone who can copy paste will be able to sample your code with ease. One Caveat~ Older Netscape browsers don't like text fields, and show a paragraph instead. I think it's Netscape 4.7 and earlier.

Sample:

Fill in your coding here. You can adjust the rows and the columns (cols) to whatever size you want. Even if you adjust nothing, the text field will automatically include a scrollbar.

The coding to create your own text field is below. To save it for later, open Notepad (or similar text editor). Highlight the code that you see provided in the text field. To highlight, press your (left) mouse button, hold it down, and slide it over the text. Once you have highlighted the code, copy it (Cntrl + C) then paste it (Cntrl + V) into Notepad. Be sure to save the file. When posting, choose the HTML option, just above the large white "body" area. Have your saved text field coding handy. Highlight it, and copy it (Edit-Copy or Cntrl+C) to your computer's Clipboard. Then, in the "body" area, paste in your text field code (Edit-Paste or Cntrl+V). Add the code you want to be displayed where it says, "Fill in your coding here".

You may save this complete text field code for later use. Directions for customizing the text fields size are included.
