Formatting newegg reviews

[fwacct4]

I've seen some reviews on newegg that can break lines so that reviews look better.

Anybody know what character to use for that. I know that if I use return key, it doesn't work.

Here's an example:

http://www.newegg.com/Product/...x?Item=N82E16811129025

First i would like to say that Newegg reviews are all but useless. Most people havn't got a clue when it comes to reviewing a product. Most ae clueless on hardware in genreal. Only thing they are good for is finding blantant flws with the hardware. If the complaints about a certain problem are consistant across the board then you know to stay clear of that item. So i don't take much stock in the reviews so how they look doesn't matter.

I'm pretty sure the OP is writing a review and wants to know how to put in a carriage return.

I dunno.

Maybe use HTML code for line return? (twice)

<
b
r

/
>

Put that on one line (don't think it'll work on the forums).

I used the HTML line breaks before, and they didn't work.

Viewing the HTML source shows a double < br > (No slash)

I wonder if they changed how it works. When I used <br> it only showed the actual <br> instead of having the HTML effect. Additionally, the <br> may be the effect rather than what he actually put into text when he posted the review.

I'd be willing to bet that they automatically escape any input to prevent cross-site scripting, SQL injection, or any of the other easy to use web hacking methods. Your best bet would be talk to their customer service and ask if there is a way to do it....

You hit the "enter" key twice,... simple as that!

It is just basically like a word document and will format just like it is entered into the box,....

Just like this reply!!!

EDIT - At least it has every single time I have done a review,.... if yours is not,... then you would want to contact customer service next!

The space-slash is "properly" closing out the tag for HTML 4.0 or something like that.

Well, we were over-engineering this. I think scruffypup wins teh interweb.
