When I preview my listing, the HTML is all written out and not actually rendered
19:35:59
moatiliatta

Its very basic HTML and have put it into an html reader and it works fine
19:39:28
Violy R.

Just to recap, basically you're contacting us about your item listing that has Html problem . Is that correct?
19:40:11
moatiliatta

I haven't listed it yet, the preview just has the HTML all written out.
19:41:43
Violy R.

I understand,can you describe it for me?
19:42:50
moatiliatta

It's just basic img src and
tags

Is the preview supposed to render the HTML?
19:44:13
Violy R.

All right,here is what we will do. can you try to edit the HTML?
19:44:54
moatiliatta

Yes, I can go back and edit it.
19:45:18
Violy R.

Yes, you may try that.
19:45:36
moatiliatta

No no, the HTML is wrong. I have verified that.
19:45:52
moatiliatta

isn't wrong

I understand your concern, can you tell me what is wrong with your listing then?
19:47:25
moatiliatta

The preview doesn't render the HTML. You can see at that link that the HTML is sound and complete
19:48:06
moatiliatta

When I hit preview listing, the HTML is all written out and none of the pictures load. Just plain text code.
19:48:13
Violy R.

Yes, the preview does not show the outcome of the URL's.
19:49:58
moatiliatta

Well the pictures are URL's, but I preview the listing, the pictures don't show up at all.

I also added a little mod to it so I could take timelapse's easier. You just set it up on a tripod and take that"

Thats what the listing preview looks like
19:51:18
Violy R.

Yes, I can see here that the pictures appeared already.
19:52:17
moatiliatta

But in the listing preview it's just the code like i just pasted in
19:53:23
Violy R.

I understand I can see here that it is just codes because it is just a practice coder applications.
19:54:16
moatiliatta

yes, the practicecoder shows that my code works. Why doesn't it show up when I preview my listing on ebay?
19:54:58
Violy R.

I really understand, but the pictures appeared just below the preview.
19:55:15
moatiliatta

yes, on practice coder, but not on ebay
19:55:25
moatiliatta

thats my question
19:55:40
moatiliatta

practicecoder renders the html, ebay doesn't, why?
19:57:03
Violy R.

With regards to HTML not appearing on Ebay, you can just clear your cache for your HTML to appear.
19:57:57
moatiliatta

That doesn't make any sense, the preview would render the HTML regardless of the cache if practice coder does.

moatiliatta

?????
20:03:39
moatiliatta

Fine, forget it, this has been a total waste of time.
Well, here's my listing, still all screwed up. If anyone is in the market for a new old camera,
and can decipher HTML in your head, check it out.
**Update Listing has been fixed!!
