but after you press in the secind time it is dont working..
thx.

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 :)

I cant recreate that. I tried using FF and IE

Make sure you folow the instructions carefully.

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

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

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!!!

cant work in reply post? only works for new thread only? i'm using 3.8.2
thanx

mhhhh... juicy! Tagged!!

This modification is great, I've just installed it and works perfectly, very useful.

Thanks !

installed & rated .

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.

I agree with this. :)

Upload quickpreview.php to where ? forum root or elsewhere ?

Dont use it ! It not secure.. It give access to use HTML on your posts !
Dont use it !
