This line has an unescaped apostrophe {Smile}

_fields[_f++] = new Array('input', 'Battle Phase', ['size', 40, 'maxLength', 50], '', 'This is the phase you attack your opponent\'s monsters or directly to LP.', false);

in both codes?

Ok it works {Grin}

why do you need a backslash in 's for ? I do not understand that.

but for the first code in the field of "Example RP" I don't want a text field how can I get it to be a name for the Example Rp area?

Ok another thing is, is not for my forum, but for my site that is linked to my forum, this is the first time I have ever encountered this problem.

on my site when I click on Advertise it goes to a blank page, but when you back up the page is goes to the main forum page. I am not releasing the forum/site right now to view. But this is the code for it.

Code:
Select All
 
  1. <table border="0">
  2. <tr>
  3. <th>
  4. <p>.:Navigation:.</p>
  5. </th>
  6. </tr>
  7. <tr>
  8. <td><a href="http://ygodr.co.nr" target="_parent">Home</a></td>
  9. </tr>
  10. <tr>
  11. <td><a href="http://ygo.vforums.co.uk" target="_parent">Forum</a></td>
  12. </tr>
  13. <tr>
  14. <td><a href="http://ygo.vforums.co.uk/board/info/" target="_parent">Rules</a></td>
  15. </tr>
  16. <tr>
  17. <td><a href="http://ygodr-news.co.nr" target="_parent">News</a></td>
  18. </tr>
  19. <tr>

  21. </tr>
  22. </table>

That description is wrapped in 's, it's what tells the code where that description starts and ends. By having another ' within the text the code thinks that description has ended. The backslash basically tells the code to treat the ' as a standard apostrophe rather than as the end of the description.

Do you mean you want it as just 1 line of text?

_fields[_f++] = new Array('input', 'Example RP', ['size', 40], '', 'Follow the RP below', false);

I'm not entirely sure what you mean there? Unless you've already fixed it?
