lol took me about 12 months to work that out you know..

As floppy says..

this is an example, lets just say were going to make 2 tables with 2 columns in each table

this is the code im going to place into the link above (to the block maker)

Code:
<table border="1" width="100%">
   <tr>
      <td>Some text here</td>
      <td>And some more text here</td>
   </tr>
</table>
<br />
<table border="1" width="100%">
   <tr>
      <td>Some text here</td>
      <td>And some more text here</td>
   </tr>
</table>


Very straight forward.. until we convert it and actually take a closer look at the code in detail

here it is
Code:
<?php
#### Generated by Block Creator by Disipal Site (www.disipal.net) updated for nuke patch by Mental Modz ###
if ( !defined('BLOCK_FILE') ) {
    Header("Location: ../index.php");
    die();
}
$content  =  "<table border=\"1\" width=\"100%\">";
$content  .= "<tr>";
$content  .= "   <td>Some text here</td>";
$content  .= "   <td>And some more text here</td>";
$content  .= "</tr>";
$content  .= "/table>";
$content  .= "br />";
$content  .= "table border=\"1\" width=\"100%\">";
$content  .= "<tr>";
$content  .= "   <td>Some text here</td>";
$content  .= "   <td>And some more text here</td>";
$content  .= "</tr>";
$content  .= "/table>";
?>


Looks great to a novice ! but if you actually look it has removed some of the first letters (in this case just a < ) of code of certain lines. normally just subsequent first letters that are placed on the first line in this case
Code:
$content  .= "/table>";
$content  .= "br />";
$content  .= "table border=\"1\" width=\"100%\">";


and
Code:
$content  .= "/table>";


this can be extremely annoying when making blocks that have java i found the actual easiest to combat it is when pasting the code into the first box, just add a space to the offending lines BEFORE you hit convert..

Obviously the best way is to just play, but at least you now know before it actually happens !

so my amended code to paste into the converter would be like so

Code:
 <table border="1" width="100%">
   <tr>
      <td>Some text here</td>
      <td>And some more text here</td>
   </tr>
 </table>
 <br />
 <table border="1" width="100%">
   <tr>
      <td>Some text here</td>
      <td>And some more text here</td>
   </tr>
 </table>


note how i just added a space Dont Know hope ive not confused you Dont Know
