developer_x Posted May 4, 2005 Share Posted May 4, 2005 I surrounded some text of the product description text box with <b> </b> tags while entering a new product via admin panel. In the preview it ofcourse looks bold, but when I check the same product from the client side, it is NOT bold. Just amazed. Can't find time to install html areal or WYSIWYG editor for getting this small modification done. Help... Irfan, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
developer_x Posted May 4, 2005 Author Share Posted May 4, 2005 I wrote this while entering a new product: <b>Functions:</b> Time, month, day & date <br><b>Case:</b> Plastic <br><b>Size:</b> 20mm x 40mm <br><b>Module:</b> Sweda buttonless digital mechanism <br><b>Display description:</b> Positive display <br><b>Strap: </b>Orange silicone <br><b>Water resistant:</b> 3 ATM / 30m / 100ft <br><b>Warranty:</b> 1 year worldwide guarantee <br><b>Model name:</b> mysterious IV \"pumpkin\" <br><b>Model number: </b>DD98-4 The preview is ok. But when I check the site as a visitor, only the <br> tag is working and the <b> tag doesn't work. I'm amazed!!! Irfan, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wendy James Posted May 4, 2005 Share Posted May 4, 2005 You can get a wysiwyg editer for your admin side if you go to the contributions. There are several of them and it makes adding descriptions much easier. You just type what you want, click a few buttons and you have an edited description that works. =) Wendy James Creativity is allowing yourself to make mistakes. Art is knowing which ones to keep.

developer_x Posted May 4, 2005 Author Share Posted May 4, 2005 Yeah I know. I even tried 'WYSIWYG HTMLArea MS2 v1.7'. It still doesn't work. All others tags work but not the <b> tag. My text is still not bold. Also wanted to let you know that the only contribution I had installed earlier was the define main page contribution. It doesn't come with a wysiwyg editor though. Thanks.

Guest Posted May 4, 2005 Share Posted May 4, 2005 A long shot but try looking in the DB to see if the tags are correct. I edited mine that way and didn't have any problems with getting bold text. I just can't remember "why" I did it that way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FalseDawn Posted May 4, 2005 Share Posted May 4, 2005 You do realise that it's a trivial task to view the HTML via the browser - that way you can see immediately if the <b> tags are actually in the HTML page or not. In IE, just click View... Source. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
developer_x Posted May 4, 2005 Author Share Posted May 4, 2005 Thanks both of you. Will try both options. Irfan, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
developer_x Posted May 4, 2005 Author Share Posted May 4, 2005 Tried both. Still nothing changed. I changed a product's description...made it bold. And checked it via 2 browsers (IE n firefox) , the source does contain the tag, but the text displayed is not bold. I guess there must be some option in the admin panel which shud be turned on in order to enable html code. But no...other tags are working perfectly. Dont know what to do.

Wendy James Posted May 5, 2005 Share Posted May 5, 2005 If the code is there and correct, then it isn't osc that is having the problem. Have a link we can look at?

FalseDawn Posted May 5, 2005 Share Posted May 5, 2005 Try <strong> </strong> instead. Are you sure it isn't working? Could be a font issue - some fonts when bold do appear the same, but this is very rare. Can you post the section of HTML that is being generated?

♥Vger Posted May 5, 2005 Share Posted May 5, 2005 Just tested it - works fine for me. Vger I surrounded some text of the product description text box with <b> </b> tags while entering a new product via admin panel. In the preview it ofcourse looks bold, but when I check the same product from the client side, it is NOT bold. Just amazed.

developer_x Posted May 5, 2005 Author Share Posted May 5, 2005 Try <strong> </strong> instead.Are you sure it isn't working? Could be a font issue - some fonts when bold do appear the same, but this is very rare. Can you post the section of HTML that is being generated? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> The code generated for that specific section dealing with bold text is: <p><b>Functions:</b> Time, month, day & date <br><b>Case:</b> Plastic <br><b>Size:</b> 20mm x 40mm <br><b>Module:</b> Sweda buttonless digital mechanism <br><b>Display description:</b> Neagative display <br><b>Strap:</b> Black silicone <br><b>Water resistant:</b> 3 ATM / 30m / 100ft <br><b>Warranty: </b>1 year worldwide guarantee <br><b>Model name:</b> mysterious IV "sesame" <br><b>Model number: </b>DD98-1</p> Anyone who needs the url may plz pm me.

developer_x Posted May 6, 2005 Author Share Posted May 6, 2005 I think I should wait a bit more. :) Irfan, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
developer_x Posted May 6, 2005 Author Share Posted May 6, 2005 That problem is still not solved. I even tried using the <strong> tag instead of the <b> tag. I guess there is something too basic missing on my part. Irfan, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
