Who are you to question almighty Bob's design?

 I'm just telling about my opinion...
I'm happy in this forum with a lot of active members..
Thank you.

I was wondering why CodeProject doesn't have a forum for VBScript? Would that fall under Visual Basic or Web Development, or does it depend on what you are trying to do with the script?
Trinity: Neo... nobody has ever done this before.

A green bar appears half way across the page when using the following Mozilla browser...
Mozilla 1.2.1
Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.2.1) Gecko/20030225.
Also, I am not able to wrap my code in <code> and other tags. Some other text gets wrapped inside those tags.
The emoticons gets inserted somewhere else not at the point where my cursor is.
Just bringing these issues to your notice.
Thanks.

Hit Ctrl+F5. You have a cached version of the old bar.

Where? In the submission wizard there is a "var" button you can press, or you can hit Ctrl+D, or you can switch to design mode and manually wrap them. In the message boards you can hit the "code" button.

Unfortunately I don't have Linux and Mozilla 1.2 to test. Have you tried upgrading to the latest version of Firefox?

Ok.

When replying to a message in the forums. The "Code" tag and other tag get's wrapped around some other text and not the selected text.

I just installed Red Hat 9. This browser came along with it. I think I will have to go for a newer one.

As useful as they may be, they can be annoying sometimes. A default 'tab' character is equal to 4 standard characters, but the pre tags like to extend this to 8. Instead of being able to copy and paste code, in order to display it correctly we must replace the tab's with 4 spaces. Also, when entering an empty line ( hitting enter twice ) the pre tags seems to take it back out. Again, for any empty line we want we must add another space.
Could something be done about this to make it more "copy and paste" friendly?

For the submission wizard? It already automatically converts tabs to 4 spaces.

I have never used the wizard, so I'm not too sure. I was talking a about the forums more than anything.

Hi Chris,

It also automatically converts to white space, which is then subsequently removed from the document... Not desired behavior.

Hi All (Chris),
A few comments/notes - I finally got some time to get something else out...
1) 'Preview' appears to function a bit incorrectly - images were not displayed (only the box with the red 'X' was displayed). After publishing and viewing, all was OK.
2) C++ Language Pretty Ptinter (text colorizer) seems to tank after the first double quote - everything following it is magenta, signifying string data. Note that the double qute occurs in a < PRE > block and was escaped ("e;), not literal.
3) Article width is too large - it is creating a significant horizontal scroll bar. This may have to do with chosing to 'right align' with an image - I'm not sure. I did not observe any PRE tags which ran on to the extent of the scroll bar.
4) The annoyance of the semi-colon/P still exists. It puts in a silly smilley face rather than leaving preformatted untouched (in the Discussion area). Can we add a check box to 'Ignore Smiley Symbols' so we can still place HTML in the message...
The article which demonstartes the behaviors can be found at Dynamic .CODE Section Image Verification

The preview step happens before you upload any files, so of course the <img> tags won't show anything. If you put alt attributes on your <img>s, the browser will show those instead.

The wizard has been reworked so you now upload images and files before you enter the text. There's an "insert image" dialog that has a preview of the image you are entering that he's talking about.
Works fine in Mozilla but not in IE. And sometimes the other way around. They two browsers treat things very differently so I need to dig in and write some browser specific code.

Hi, I just came across two bugs in the Wizard, regarding the preformatted code:
- If I choose "C++", nothing is highlighted, because the formatting engine looks for "c++" and the wizard inserts "C++".
- If I choose "managed C++", the case is correct, but the highlighting performs "greedy" search on double quotes (") for strings, and marks dozens of lines as string.

I just noticed it performs as expected when one performs a Preview...

Ah, nasty annoying bug.
It turns out the upload component we're using HTML encodes the article and our colourising code can't handle this. The preview page isn't using the upload control but the submission page does.
I'm just putting the final touches to the new colouriser that I'll try and roll out after my Christmas holiday next week (yes, delayed a little  )

Hi Mike,
I think the upload has been moved to the step prior to the adding of code.

Ah, nevermind then. I didn't get the memo about the revamped wizard.

No problem - keep writing those excellent articles and disregard any memo that crosses your desk.

Huh? As of right now, the article Really Dynamic Master Pages[^] has one vote, announced with the text "1 vote has for this article". Presumably, articles with only one vote aren't very common, but it looks as if the code for "number of votes=1" might need a little tweak.
