I am writing a new user syllabus, and need the character code for a checkbox. It's not a CGI form, so I just need the box to appear when we print the page out.


Thanks.

I appreciate the link. I looked there, and it was about forms. I just want the text character and not a check box that can be checked in the browser.

Unfortunately this fusetalk don't do <!-- comment --> therefor you have to shrink the spaces between the (&_#982;, etc...) special characters to get it to work.

<html>

pi - &#982; & #982; or & piv;

<p>

small theta - &#977; & #977; or & thetasym;

<p>

hook upsilon - &#978; & #978; or & upsih;

</html>

because it's both. for print out and web viewing.I just want the code for a square.

Lowtech, not sure what you're showing me there. I know the syntax, I just don't know the one for a box, don't need the greek alphabet.

Here's another one: &#1649;
& #1649;

If it just needs to show when printed out, then you can do it on a word processor too right?

You probably want the LI element as a child of a UL (unordered list) tag. Depending on the browser you use, though, it may or may not honor any attributes which request a particular list indicator.

If you can't get that to work, you could always just use a couple of underscore (__) characters in front of the text you intend as a checkbox. Use a table to align the check locations if necessary.
