HTML Enabled Comments

I have decided to allow members of FlashGuru’s MX 101 to include HTML in their comments. This will hopefully provide a better experience for the viewers of this site, with simple advantages such as clickable links in comments, highlighted code in comments aswell as well formatted text, easy to read and digest…

I reserve the right to edit and delete any comment on this website, if the following rules/guidelines are not met:

- Please make all references to websites and urls clickable.
Please make all clickable links open in a new window.
- Please highlight any code snippets, whether it be php, actionscript, asp, perl etc…
- Please format your comments using paragraphs and linebreaks so that it is easy to read, follow and digest.
- Please encode all special characters using HTML encoding.
- Please dont include any malicious code or any code that may ruin the viewers experience on this website.
- Please dont include any javascript in comments unless it is i a code snippet, in which case it should be encoded, so that it doesnt execute in the browser.
- Please keep your comments relevant to the article.
- Please dont ask questions other than those relevant to the article.
- Please dont make any racist, rude, abusive or controversial comments.

Help with the basics of HTML.

To make a clickable link:

<a href=”http://www.thedomain.com” target=”_blank”>The Website</a>

To highlight code snippets:

<p class=”code”>this.attachMovie(”mysymbol”,”myName”,1);</p>

To format your comments:

This is a line of text<br>This is another line of text<br>
