In "Profile", 3rd last under "Preferences"... "always allow HTML" click "Yes"
and click "submit".

Thanks for the reply. That option is already ticked... Maybe this forum doesn't like Firefox?

Yes this forum likes Firefox just fine - says the site admin via Firefox and Gentoo Linux, ta very much.

There is a site-level over-ride on the tags that are allowed. Which tags were you trying to use?

1. "font" is a globally dis-allowed tag
2. The style sheet for the site uses "font class=Tahoma, Verdana, arial, sans-serif anyway
3. For something like this just use BBCode. If you don't know how, go to the main reply screen rather than using the qick reply panel at the bottom of a thread.

PS don't forget legal html requires quotes around attribute values, although most browsers cut you shedloads of slack on this one.

The only feature I can't get to work with Fx is the "Quote Selected" button in the quick post box at the bottom of a topic. Something in the JS console like "document.selection is not an object". Sounds like an MSFT extension of strict DHTML to me.

document.selection is IE only. Firefox, Opera etc need document.getSelection()

see quirksmode.org/js/selected.html

Does document.getSelection() work in IE as well, then?

We'll leave it with you Phil! ;)

No, hence using

if (window.getSelection)
or else if (document.getSelection)
or else if (document.selection)

to work out the browser.

But we digress... ;)

Sorry guys, PNphpBB is a standard Open Source package. I always fix glaring errors, but it's simply too much trouble to maintain a TMC branch.

And I loathe browser sniffing code ....

It works well enough for me :)

I work for the other side...
