What's the vBcode to do stars?
 
I want to add red stars next to the films that I list in the "2005 Rank Them when you see them list", and I don't know how to do this?

help... ?

Adam Tyner 01-04-05 08:59 AM

Some sample vB code:

To make:
*

Use:
[color=red][b]*[/b][/color]

oh... :(

I mean a real star, not an asterik... oh well..

thanks.

I would have thought since you can do hearts: ♥ ♥ one could do stars...

You're a real star in my eyes.

Perhaps they're after your Lucky Charms?

okay... :hscratch:

(boxes, and hearts, but no star... drat!)

Giles 01-04-05 10:04 AM

a red star, not a red box... oh well.. thanks for the reply, but some reason I don't know why I can't seem to replicate the star on my computer.

on another website one could denote
:star:

and a red star would appear...

Adam Tyner 01-04-05 10:06 AM

Maybe it's a character-set thing.

I think I'll stick with the red asterik.. thanks Adam.

No problem. You could always use an image instead of HTML code, if you wanted.

Unicode Character 'BLACK STAR' (U+2605)

There's no standard character in HTML 4 like hearts or spades or what have you. But a couple of unicode characters work and should show up in IE and probably FireFox.

9733 = ★
9734 = ☆

XML encodings should support bigstar and starf as well, but these don't appear to work in any browser I tried.

I posted that earlier, and those characters displayed as boxes on his screen.

I see that star . . . other people don't?

The heart is, I assume, from the ISO "Suits" characters:

&amp;hearts; ===> &hearts;
&amp;diams; ===> &diams;
&amp;clubs; ===> &clubs;
&amp;spades; ===> &spades;
