2 questions 1 HTML an 1 Java script.

1) In HTML is there any way to change the default formatting of the code tags? I don't want the font changed but i would like to make them stand out more an I don't want to use the "b" tag every time i post some code up.

2) In Java script I am trying to get a small script going that will display the viewers IP address the one I have isn't rendering properly the example can be viewed here if any one has any suggestions I would be happy to test it out.

1) Use CSS to style the font.

Code:

<html>
<head>
<style type="text/css">
p {
font-weight:bold;
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<p>
Some font.
</p>
</body>
</html>

With this, everything inside <p></p> tags will be bold. You can change the tag if you want to use <p></p>.

2) You can't view IP's with Javascript.

Thanks for the help with the HTML, I don't want to view them i want them to be displayed on the end users screen the script i have in that example is directly taken from a JS tutorial on how to do just that but I can't get it to work on my site for some reason.

It doesn't work because you can't do it. I'm not sure what that code on your link is supposed to be doing, but I can tell you that you can't display an IP with Javascript. You need a server side language. You could use AJAX if you wanted, but you'd still need a server side language.

This is how to display an IP with PHP:

PHP Code:

  <?php

echo $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'];

?>

Just to let you know the PHP worked, thanks for that mate.
