Gordon Jackson Memorial

Jan 17, 2011 17:27

I am not exactly in time for this, since the anniversary of Gordon Jackson's death was the 15th of January (this last Saturday, I was very busy writing, after a long interruption and giving poor Cowley a hard time). But as the popular saying says: "better late than never". It just occured to me (very belatedly!) that last year was the 20th ( Read more... )

Very interesting. I didn't know about that site. Gordon Jackson should indeed be remembered. Both Martin and Lewis told about what an absolutely lovely man he was.

Try this code but remove the asterisks:
<*a href="http://www.findagrave.com/cgi-bin/fg.cgi?page=gr&GRid=6304848%94%3EGordon%20Jackson%92s%20Memorial">Gordon Jackson's memorial<*/a>

I did it but that didn't work. I think you gave me exactly the same coding I'd used. Thanks nonetheless.

How true! His interviews on youTube also are so charming and full of humour and modesty. He certainly was the perfect gentleman (the real thing, not the merely social, upper-class, establishment type which Cowley so strongly despised).

I don't think the coding is the problem. I think the problem is that you typed in to the Rich Text window and not the HTML window.

If you typed your HTML code in the HTML window then it would load properly.

(I'm referring to tags at the top of the window).

I did it the first time but, realising that, I changed for html, to no avail (I did the changes several times).

My special try succeeded but why didn't the changes I made after my first failed post?

I'm sorry, but I have no idea why without being able to see the window myself... although you may have forgotten to take the tick mark out of the "disable auto-formatting" box in the top right hand corner of the HTML window.

Yes, that's the case. So, I have to take it out every time I change the format of a post from rtf to html? I must remember that.

draycevixen January 18 2011, 15:18:45 UTC

Yes, or you can just type your post in to the HTML window to begin with and there won't be a problem.
