new mockup widget |

I've replaced the mockup widget with the beta one I posted a while back. I haven't made any changes to it since then, so the same quirks from before apply. The main reason for the switch is to get rid of the problem with resizing the box on non-forum pages. The compatibility is as follows:
Older browsers may or may not work. I don't really care if they don't. They are all free upgrades. Attachments do not work under Safari 2. But as always, you can edit your post and use the link on the bottom right to add attachments using a classic interface. (At the moment, that page is also the only way to delete attachments from any browser.) Be sure to hard-refresh to get the latest JS and CSS files. |

Personally I like the last version. Now when I click Preview or Spell Check it takes away the text-editing feel and auto-scrolls up for me. But if this one works better, I'm all for that. [re-edit] |

So, a small list of beefs with the new widget, under Firefox 2.0: - The editing window is half the width it used to be, which is terribly annoying. Overall, I liked the previous one way better. Those issues are all with the quick-reply box. EDIT: And they stay the same on the normal reply or edit page.

It's not like it's something we can't get by without... --------------------------- |

Oh, hot! The edit window's height is resizeable! This makes me happy! |

Good thing is that with this version you won't lose all your text when pressing spellcheck/preview with Konqueror. Just tested the upload in Konqueror 3.5.5 and guess what, it worked! So you can replace "Attachments do not work under Safari 2 or Konqueror" with "Attachments do not work under Safari 2" __________ |

The box changed some but things seem to working fine in konqueror, except for upload (konqi 3.5.5). [edit] __________________________________________ |

Testing attachments... failed. Though it seems a bit broken. I tried typing something into the filename box, and it started trying to upload before I finished typing it in. :x -- |

Are you trying to say that attachments are hit-and-miss with Konqueror? Well, it works for me so I'm happy __________ |

If you are interested then this is the confirmation it asks: Loosely translated it would be Of cource nothing really gets opened in a tab but it works nevertheless. __________ |

Ah ok, yeah if I have it on smart it won't do it. Putting it to ask to work in a new window allows it to work. FTW! __________________________________________ |

For me, when I put something it it says "Uploading..." next to the input box, then a few seconds later, "Failed". Of course, it tries to upload the moment I type something into the box and doesn't wait for me to finish, so I have to use the dialog selector. -- |

Not bad. Definately looks much better after you refresh the CSS. |

I publically declare that I am dumb and can't even follow instructions properly. Everything works OK after refreshing the CSS. Looks smooth, good work! --------------------------- |

It would have been good to have horizontal resizing too "Code is like shit - it only smells if it is not yours" |

Looks and feels nice. Everything works fine (Opera 9) [FMC Studios] - [Caries Field] - [Ctris] - [Pman] - [Chess for allegroites] |

TF had done a bit of testing with Konqueror on the demo when I previously posted it, and I think he was eventually able to get it to upload after I made various tweaks. However, when I tried from Ubuntu last night (using apt-get Konqueror with default settings), it failed. Konqueror and Safari seem to be the most quirky of all browsers. What works on one version sometimes fails on some other minor version. It would be helpful if you could change your upload dialog settings and see if it still works. |

It works, there is just some items under javascript settings thing that need to be checked... I don't know how it looks in english, my system is in japanese, but I can give you a screen of my dialog and what needs to be set: __________________________________________ |

After further testing on Konqueror 3.5.5, it does work for me when I disable "smart" window blocking. |

I posted something using IE6 just to check. I know no one cares to use it, but a bunch of guests do. Anyway, basic functionality works just fine, no major broken-ness. ------------ |

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 Neil. wii:0356-1384-6687-2022, kart:3308-4806-6002. XBOX:chucklepie |

It works surprisingly well with IE6, which is what I'm still using on my Windows 98 computer. The only problem I'm having is based on the fact that my text window background colour is not the default white. (In fact, it's a very dark gray so the text is a light colour.) When I click on "Preview" or "Spell Check", it goes to look like a normal post with a white background, but when I click them off, the background colour is not returned from white to my Windows setting. Surely that's simple enough to fix. --- Kris Asick (Gemini) --- Kris Asick (Gemini) |
