Re: I cannot inset image while writing an article for codproject.

1. When you use the Article Wizard, you get a page that allows you to upload files; you could use that for code files (a ZIP holding the sources) as well as image files; it automatically offers you the correct HTML snippet for including each image.

2.
You don't have to create an article inside the wizard's editor, in fact I recommend you create the article on your PC, using local storage, so nothing gets lost when your connection (or the CP site) suddenly breaks down. Use the web-based editor only for final touches!

If you like, you can use any free HTML editor (such as Visual Web Developer) and email the article with the associated files (images, ZIP's, etc) to Code Project. They'll post the article for you without you ever having to touch their editor.

Possible SPAN

I posted this message with a SPAN tag in it (to add a border around some text). It works just dandy. However, when I edit the message, the SPAN tag is mysteriously missing.

I once had a lot of SPAN tags in an article, the wizard ate them all. Chris is checking all HTML tags he gets, and doesn't like most of them. OTOH some of them are considered OK, as is described here[^].

That's perfectly fine if it takes out the SPAN tags when it renders the HTML (though, actually, I like my SPANs... don't take them from me!). However, it should not modify the original message so that it is different when I go back in to edit it. Also, the behavior is inconsistent. The first time I post the message, the SPAN stays. If I then edit the message, that is when it disappears (if I were to post that edit, the SPAN would be missing from the rendered HTML too).

Are you guys aware that the right-arrows indicating sub menus aren't positioned correctly?

Using IE7 of Vista (and it's the same on FireFox).

I know there's an issue with IE7, but not with FireFox. You've Ctrl+F5 on FF? The CSS update was weeks ago so it should have come through by now, but just in case...

I can replicate on IE8, the > merges into the end of the text on:

Edit: Only with compatability mode ON

I can see it too, with IE7. The remarkable thing is "Other Languages" is fine.

Perhaps a CSS issue then as that has a different style applied to it?

I think so. And probably one that can be solved easily.

Suggestion to CP for two things

1-Sep-10 4:52

For the non-heading entries the difference is that there are CSS rules not being applied. I've been playing around and have an interim (read: dodgy, but better than nothing and I have bigger fish to fry) solution.

1. Author should have knowledge of who has bookmarked the article.
2. Author should have knowledge of who has voted for the article.

You're spittin' in the wind Kee-moe-sobbie...

Knowing who bookmarked your article is simply pointless, and knowing who voted your article isn't gonna happen because the admins are concerned (and rightfully so) that revenge voting will take place.

Find another cause, because you're not gonna win either of these arguments.

I am not sure why the OP even had to ask this. 1,2, and 3 votes cannot be cast anonymously anyway. And why does he need to know 4 and 5 voters? Most 4 and 5 voters leave comments anyway indicating their vote.

Why? Revenge voting?

Again, why? What purpose would knowing that Member 123456 bookmarked your article serve?
