How do I add HTML to my index page?

Recommended Posts

I am trying to add some HTML to my index page, but whenever I do, I get a php error and all the html I added is replaced with "TEXT_MAIN" on my index page.

 

I figure I am suspposed to add it in define('TEXT_MAIN', 'bleh'); and replace bleh with the html. But it isnt working.

 

Here is the html I am trying to add:

 

<div align="center">
 <table width="100%" border="0" align="center" cellspacing="1">
   <tr> 
     <td width="50%"><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">Check out our 
       latest shirt, "This is not the greatest shirt in the world... this 
       is just a tribute." This item is available in Black, Indigo Blue, 
       and Charcoal Grey and Men's sizes S-M-L-XL-XXL.</font></td>

     <td width="50%" align="left" valign="top"><img src="http://www.ironfront.com/images/new.jpg"></td>
   </tr>
   <tr align="center" valign="top"> 
     <td colspan="2"><p> </p>
       <p><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"><strong>Please select a catagory 
         to view:</strong></font></p></td>
   </tr>
   <tr align="center" valign="top"> 
     <td><p><img src="http://www.ironfront.com/images/humor.gif"></p>
       <p><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">Humor Shirts</font></p></td>

     <td><p><img src="http://www.ironfront.com/images/gasp.gif"></p>
       <p><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">Design & Misc. Shirts</font></p></td>
   </tr>
   <tr align="center" valign="top"> 
     <td><p><img src="http://www.ironfront.com/images/girltee.gif"></p>
       <p><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">Girl's Shirts</font></p></td>
     <td><p><img src="http://www.ironfront.com/images/beelzebub.gif"></p>

       <p><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">Beelzebub & Chickensuit 
         Shirts</font></p></td>
   </tr>
   <tr> 
     <td colspan="2"><div align="center"> 
         <p>x</p>
         <p><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">Accessories</font></p>
       </div></td>

   </tr>
   <tr> 
     <td colspan="2"> </td>
   </tr>
 </table>
</div>

 

Any help would be awsome. thanks.

You need to escape the single quote in this line

<p><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">Girl's Shirts</font></p></td>

 

put a back-slash in fron of it.

 

<p><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">Girl\'s Shirts</font></p></td>

So basically it just has a problem with ' ? So whatever I add I just need to be carefull of it?
