[AJAX] Quick Thread Preview

What It Does
Adds a button next to the preview button which when clicked will show a preview of the post almost instantly. All the BB code will be parsed and it supports custom BB code.

It doesnt work for me at all.. I am using version 3.8.3

Love idea, but not solution...

It would be better if you use phrases in templates instead of hardcode "Preview" and "Quick Preview" - I can deal with this and change template manually, but it appears that yours preview breaks with special characters like ąęśćł?żźĄŚĆŁ?ŻŹĘ - my forum is in Polish and unfortunately right now I'm not able to use your mod.

Let me know when you fix it - I will gladly install it again :)

Ill update the phrases soon

And I just tried it with those string of characters (ąęśćł?żźĄŚĆŁ?ŻŹĘ) and it worked fine.

jQuery for this? Why not YUI?

jQuery for this? Why not YUI?

jQuery is better in my opinion. There are hundreds of reasons why but the main reason is the ajax support and its simplicity.

[mad@Max]

Probably, but its extra js (+57kb).

[KevinGupta]

It works fine for me.. Sorry before I thought it automatically previews it at the top as the user types...
I have just noticed that you are supposed to press "QUICK PREVIEW" :)
Anyway.. thanks.. but it would be lovely if you or someone can come up with like it gives Auto Preview at the top as the user is typing :D
So, user don't need to worry about clicking on anything ;)
Thanks for the MOD anyway :) ENJOY!!!

Man... I like this idea a lot... but it'll cost me page loads and less page loads = less $$. I just can't do it. :(

Does this also add a button to the quick reply box? AJAX previews for quick reply would be amazing.
