Allowable HTML tags in Visual Perspectives

kklosson

I'm not good with HTML so I've taken to creating my HTML in some visual editor and copying the code into the HTML block in a visual perspective. However, I find that most tags are ignored with the exception of basic font manipulation. I can't seem to get bullets or <div> tags or much else to translate. I've also tried creating what I need in an HTML field box presented by Aware IM, but same thing, many tags just don't happen.

Am I missing something? If not, is there a list of allowable tags or simply a better way to achieve what I want on the HTML page of a VS?

Thanks

KKlosson,
Though i have only used a couple HTML I needed in a form, the following may help you. If you wish to use bullets you need to set the value of the HTML other than default much like this...

<li type="i">something</li>
<li type="i">something else</li>

As per the DIV you also need to set the value of the tag other than default

<div align=center>something </div>

When creating HTML be sure your syntax is correct and try to use an editor that does not "add" unnecessary items into your code. Such as notepad, Homesite or something like that. Hope that helps.....

You can use almost any tags in your HTML. The only things to watch out for are:

Do not use <body> <head> and <html> tags because you are inserting HTML fragments into the Aware IM page. The above tags describe the complete page. If you are using HTML editors and they are inserting these tags, remove them.
Do not use <style> tags - they will be ignored. Use CSS classes instead and make sure that you reference your .css files in the AwareIM/Tomcat/webapps/AwareIM/startup.html file
Do not use <script> tags. If you need to add some Javascripting put all your code into the Javascript functions and reference your Javascript file in the AwareIM/Tomcat/webapps/AwareIM/startup.html file

<div> <li> etc should work fine.

I am trying to put a simple HTML code via static HTML on the main frame of my VP which is supposed to result in a bulleted text..

<ol>
<li>Number 1</li>
<li>Number 2</li>
<li>Number 3</li>
</ol>

But when the page is loaded what gets displayed is this -

Number 1
Number 2
Number 3

I havent used any other HTML tags orher than these... Has anybody played with bullets on main page of VP? Please share...
