Copyright Symbol Html Code

[Ninepatch]

Hi -

 

I'm still so new that any little snippet of HTML I can add to my folder of HTML code really helps, so I wanted to share this one I built tonight with my family here. It's not much, but everyone here always shares so much with me I didn't want to pass up the chance to give back!

 

><font size="-1"><sup>©</sup></font>

 

This will superscript the Copyright symbol and decrease its font size. It drops into CSB beautifully. If you want to see it, I used it on my group's site www.ichingcleveland.org - Writings - Articles for the second article listed.

 

Hope this helps someone!

The keystroke, Alt + 0169 will give you the same effect in text format, no need to use a Web Gem or insert HTML in Trellix or CuteSite.

I have found that the validators do not like the Alt + 0169 symbol and prefer the © instead.

In CuteCite Builder or Trellix you would have to place that code into what is called a "HTML place holder" and your final code would look like this,

 

<!-- Start Gem Build Your Own Web Gem -->

<font size="-1">^{&copy Copyright 2004 Meow Web Designs. All rights reserved;}</font>

<!-- End Gem Build Your Own Web Gem -->

 

I used Trellix to create this place holder. Any HTML, Script or any code that is placed on a page must be placed in that "HTML place holder".

CuteSite Builder and Trellix Web are WYSIWYG editing programs and not a HTML Editor.

 

In the past I have run Trellix sites which I have created through validators and wasn't too successful with being able to get any of the pages accepted.

Thanks for your input. I think we may be looking at different ends of the same tool here. This little snippet of code is meant only to insert the copyright symbol - a special character by any other name per se. For instance, if you were referring to Oreos in a published piece on the net, you really are obligated to use the copyright symbol after the word "Oreos" because it is their copyrighted business trademark.

 

I used it in my case at the author's request because the article is from a manuscript for a book in the process of publication and she wanted to indicate her copyright to it. Now, explaining to her that it wouldn't keep anyone from stealing her work was a whole other deal! Ya just gotta love the techno-babies!

 

Peace,

<!-- Start Gem Build Your Own Web Gem -->

^{&copy Copyright 2004 Meow Web Designs. All rights reserved;}

<!-- End Gem Build Your Own Web Gem -->

And the code should read like this in your example:

 

<!-- Start Gem Build Your Own Web Gem -->

^&copy; Copyright 2004 Meow Web Designs. All rights reserved.

<!-- End Gem Build Your Own Web Gem -->

 

Otherwise you are superscripting the whole line of text.

So what you are telling me, is that you enter the CuteSite "Insert HTML Place Holder" which contains your code after every copyrighted word or text on your page or where your client requests the copyright symbol, which is fine and I can understand the copyright laws.

 

But, doesn't it become awkward placing those 150 x 50 pixel CuteSite "Insert HTML Place Holders" on the page that you are creating, of course if you created another "HTML Place Holder" image which would be, say 10 x 10 pixels image with the copyright symbol incorporated on the image as identification and are using that instead of the one that is supplied with CuteSite, than that would make more sense to me and would be something that I would use.

 

I have just about stopped using those standard Trellix "Web Gem HTML Place Holders" and the CuteSite standard "Insert HTML Place Holders", what I have been doing for my Flash menus, Flash animations along with Forms, is taking a snap shot of the page when it is previewed cropping the actual image and using that image for the "HTML Place Holder", that way it makes creating a page a little easier task when you can see a actual image and it's placement instead of a 150 x 50 pixel "HTML Place Holder"

 

Bruce, thanks for the correction. I just took Beth's code and placed it into a Trellix Web Gem and added some text.

Just my opinion ...

 

Re: the fact that various validators do not like the ALT-0169 method for entering the Copyright symbol --- all I can say is that if you pass Microsoft's home page thru many of those validators, it doesn't pass either.

 

For me, getting the web site up and running as quickly as I can is way more desirable than trying to make my web site acceptable to the various robot validator programs out there.

I agree, truer words were never spoken.

Ah, now I see where you're coming from! Yes, that huge orange and black box would be a real pain to deal with all the time, but that's not what I'm using when I insert HTML. I have a few little graphical icons I use at insertion points - I call them "HTML dingbats." I'm using CSB 4.0 and the lower half of the HTML Insert dialog box allows me to Browse for an icon to use in place of the default black and orange box. I keep them in their own folder within a primary folder I called HTML Tool Box, along with other folders for little scripts, etc. If I don't organize stuff I lose it forever!

 

Our good friend Samantha taught me the dingbat trick!

you would have to place that code into what is called a "HTML place holder

You can do it like this to

 

 

Resize the code to 1 and it will not take much space on page without the place holder.

 

Works best when working with short codes/scripts though.
