in reply to SENDMAIL problem!

And now a word from the grammar Nazi:

Change:
"Sorry you email coudn't be send."
 To:
"Sorry your e-mail couldn't be sent."

And:
"Email sended. Thanks for your opinion."

To:
"Email sent. Thank you for your opinion."



And now back to your regularly scheduled node...

    I fail to see how that would prevent the program from sending mail :-p

      It might indeed send mail, but this way the user will clearly know that the mail has been sent, or not!

      I'm not trying to bust the OP's chops, English is obviously not his primary language, I'm just trying to help him make his code a bit better.

      P.S. I am HTML challenged, what is the tag for a tab character?
[reply]

        \t (from Perl) gives a tab character, but that is of no use, as in HTML rendering all whitespace gets collapsed to a normal space.

        If you want to display tabular data, you use a definition list or table and style it appropriately.

        It's easy:

        <html><head><title></title><style><!--
.indent { padding: 0 0 0 3em; }
 --></style></head><body><div class="indent">I am indented</div></body
+></html>

        In all seriousness -- this leaves space on the left side of a block of text. Please don't use a definition list (<dl><dt></dt><dd></dd></dl>) unless it actually is a list. If you're trying to do tabular data, then use a table. If you're trying to do preformatted text, then use <pre></pre>. If you're quoting something, use <blockquote></blockquote> Please don't use a tag that denotes structure for a purely stylistic purpose -- it may 'look' right to you, but it can confuse people who are using screen readers and other assistive technology.

        Please see the WAI recommendations for more details.

        Depending on exactly what you're trying to pull off, there are lots of other (wrong) ways to get 'a tab', as well, but it's probably better if you don't ever use them. Bad things would include transparent images, 1x1 images with padding and non breaking spaces
