My forum runs phpBB2 and I'd like to put a piece of html code (with a form) in a post. HTML is ON, and I'm the forum administrator, so I'm thinking I should be able to do it.

Simply pasting the html in the post doesn't work.

Any suggestions?

Thanks,
Norm

Here it is:

           <table width="300" align="left">

              <tr>
                <td> <b>Choose 2 schools to compare</b>
                  <form name=...
                  </form>
</td></tr>
            </table>

(edited to remove the large chunk of code - the next post answers the main question)

i think enabling html allows html more like

<a href="link.html">link</a>
<img src="image.jpg">

not a full page of html

you could use BBCode to do that though. Thumbs Up

Really, it is a security risk to allow html for posting and I would not suggest enabling it for anyone other than yourself...

Not to my knowledge based on the setup of phpBB.  I think there are other forums that allow just the admin to use html and no-one else.

theirs a mod somewhere for phpbb that allows you enable almost everything for certain users, even the use of av's and emotes.
