It uses your system colors. Change them, and you'll be okay. Or edit your custom Allegro CSS to override your system.

I know it uses the system colours, just not when switching back from preview or spell check to the edit window. (That, or perhaps it's not assigning back the correct system colour?)

Oh, I see. I must have made the textarea transparent with the z-index of the system color layer staying behind the preview.

Looks great. Today I connected from school to check out some threads and saw that something has changed. But it looked crappy before I read this thread.

Weird bug: (Opera 9)
simply left-clicking (without dragging) on the bar that let's you adjust height will make the box a little longer.

Same in Konqueror (like anyone cares ) and also with right clicking.

Same in Firefox. It is a side effect of how he handles the mouse clicking I think, because if you notice, it grows only a little bit if you click in the top of the box, yet if you click as far down as you can it grows slightly more.

Here's a possible broken link. When you click on Post Reply and then decide you want to go back, but instead of hitting backspace, you click the link to the left of Reply (in this thread, it would be "new mockup widget"), you go back to the main page.

At first I was going to ask you WTF you're talking about, then I realized you aren't using the quick reply thing so you have to go to a separate page to post a reply. :-x

Seems to work on IE 7 as well.

Edit. It would be cool to not have to go to a new page to edit your post. The basic Idea is like this:

1) Add an id parameter to the content div.

<div style="margin-top: 0.5em;" id="Post_635079">
Seems to work on IE 7 as well.
 <div class="signature">
  <a href="http://wipproject.zapto.org/cgi-bin/get?p=DOD" target="_blank">
   Dustin Dettmer
  </a>
  <span class="url"> [wipproject.zapto.org]</span>
 </div>
</div>

2) Add an id tag to the tag named <div class="forum-table"> on the edit-post page. Lets make it id="TheEditForm"
3) Make the edit link activate the function below named onEditClick passing in the post's ID code (the function assumes the format Post_######).

1//Gets the browser specific XmlHttpRequest Object
2function getXmlHttpRequestObject() {
if (window.XMLHttpRequest) {
  return new XMLHttpRequest();
} else if(window.ActiveXObject) {
  return new ActiveXObject("Microsoft.XMLHTTP");
} else {
              alert('redirect to edit page, this wont work for us.');
}
10}
11 
12function onEditClick(idName)
13{
var postnum = idName.substring(5);

if (receiveReq.readyState == 4 || receiveReq.readyState == 0) {

var recieveReq = getXmlHttpRequestObject();
receiveReq.open("GET", '/forums/edit-post/' + postnum, false);
receiveReq.send(null);
getElementByID(idName).innerHtml = '<div class="forum-table" id="TheEditForm">'
 + recieveReq.responseXML.TheEditForm.innerHTML
 + '</div>';
}    
25}

Javascript code is provided as-is.

I've made changes to resolve some of the quirks that are within my control. Hit refresh to force an update.

Perhaps you should make the 'help' button open up the mockup help in a "tab" of the widget, instead of a new window?

I dunno about that... I prefer having it pop up in a new window.

I thought it was really weird and crappy until I read this thread and refreshed.
Nice work, carry on.

Don't know if it's been mentioned but with the new input window Firefox loses it's data when you go forward then back, this was fixed. Can we have the old one back please

Same problem here, I've lost a long post because of an unwanted click (damn touchpad), and to my surprise the box was empty when I went back to the page (FF 1.5)

It's a browser bug. There's nothing I will do about it.

Matt, I made an in-page editor plugin, but the update button doesnt work (neither do smilies, but thats an issue for another day).

Whats the simplest HTTP request I can send to update a post?

Hm, I see now you generate a token cookie 's' in what appears to be mangled js... cheap bastard..

P.S. Acc is all sorts of broken on IE7 (was using it for fiddler).
