Re: Validation Nightmare

Here are some hints that I use when designing....

Formatting Structure

Paragraph
Special Characters and fields
Font

I found if you format in these order you virtually no problems..

Here is a sample

[p align="center"][a href="something"][font color="somecolor"]My 
text[/font][/a][/p]

You will notice that many WYSIWYG editors format in this manner also.
