I knew it controlled the time stamp, but this post talks about making a message come up that just tells the person I send the message to to press F2, then the html text I pasted will appear in their box. Just sounded like a neat trick. I couldnt makeit work though, and yes I turned off the timestamps.

<!-- text here --> is for commenting your HTML markup.

If you put anything inside those tags, it won't show up in the browser (or in this case, the AIM window).

Do it like this:

Code: Select all

blah blah<br><!-- comment code goes here --><b>Whatever else<br><!-- Even more comment code<p>hehe
Which will show up like this:

Code: Select all

blah blah

Whatever else

hehe
And with time stamps on:

Code: Select all

blah blah
comment code goes here
whatever else
Even more comment code

hehe
