[RELEASE vB2.0] Code Buttons and Clickable Smilies (major update)

Chris, try out this dummy page and see if you still get javascript errors:

Oh, and what browser are you using?

javascript error is

"object does not support this propery or method"

at line 87 and 90

yes, same error. IE 5.00

I've just tried it with another copy of IE5.0 and it would seem that IE5 doesn't support the <arrayname>.push(var) method...

I'm looking for a workaround.

It works fine in IE5.5 and all versions of Nutscrape.

i am using my non standard comp hence ie5 though i should upgrade it.. but i bet some of my users will use ie5.00 so a work round would be good.

cheers...

any ideas on that array in pm? perhaps it is a vb beta 3 thing (has anyone upgraded?)

also when i edit a post, the post appears blank. Is this perhaps because of changing the name for the form? will it make a difference?

Your PM array problem is easy to fix:

Just replace your message textarea with this:

<TEXTAREA NAME="message" ROWS=20 COLS=60 WRAP="VIRTUAL">$message[message]</TEXTAREA>

In fact, you seem to have lost quite a few of the correct variables for the contents of your textarea elements in your templates. Review the default templates and check that you have the correct variables inbetween the <textarea> and </textarea> tags. This will fix your editpost and priv_sendprivmsg problems.

Finding a workaround for IE versions less than 5.5 having no array.push() method is going to be a little more tricky...

thanks, just found the text area problem, silly me

Looking forward to the advanced fix although the "simple" version works brilliantly.

Dig out a copy of Nutscrape or upgrade to IE5.5 and try out the 'enhanced' mode - now that kicks ass

Hmm... workaround....

just tried nutscrape 4.6 a horrible browser... anyway had a few problems.

I did:

italic with the promt, (I)
and then some text
and then closed it.. fine

so got

[*I]sdfsfsdfdf[*/I]

then i used the buttons tounderline, italic and bold typed some text and then said close all. But i got:

[*/U][*/I][*/I][*/U][*/U][*/I][*/I][*/I][*/I][*/I]

for some reason.

The other thing is that pressing "close" makes the cursor go to the start of the text box which is pretty annoying...
