Bugs and Suggestions

Hello

There is a bug in CodeProject's site article html editor, regarding the line feeds.

Example:
If I enter this code:

<pre lang="cs">{<br />var data = new Hashtable()<br />using (var s = 0);<br />} </pre>

Then I press twice on "HTML" button/link, the code is wrongly transformed as:

<pre lang="cs">{&lt;br /&gt;var data = new Hashtable()<br />using (var s = 0);<br />} </pre>

Some "br" html tags are unexpectandly transformed as text, not all.

Tested on IE 11 and on FireFox 27.0.1.

Somebody has a solution ?

For now, I can not update my article (UniversalSerializer[^]).

Thank you

The article HTML editor is known as being buggy. It's recommended to write your article in Visual Studio or whatever your preferred HTML editor is and then send it (with all files included and zipped) to submit@codeproject.com

I Wonder how editors will treat an archive containing multiple images and distributable archives.. Smile | :)

I am not sure they will want to put all in form.. especially if they use internally the same html editor/transformer as the site's one. That could lead to nervous breakdowns ! Smile | :)

Personaly, I just lost two hours with this small line-feed problem, and I about to throw my update to the nearest dustbin and forget all this. Roll eyes | :rolleyes:

Thank you for your suggestion, I will probably do that in the end (when I'm out of patience). Wink | ;)

Maybe that needs to happen until they fix the damn editor.

Somebody suggested I should replace all br by ordinary line feeds in pre blocks.
That seems true in html. That is something I forgot completely.

Problem is neither Kompozer, Blue Griffon nor this site'editor respect this rule.
Maybe Dreamweaver does, but at what price ??? Dead | X|

I am not sure I will change all my code by hand. This update will wait.. maybe for a long time.

Nothing to worry about anymore, see my email and the comment at the bottom of the freshly released article.

Again: The Editor sucks really bad, and you better use an ordinary HTML editor the next time you try to update your article - Code blocks are a real PITA to format with the cripple.

Thank you, I replied on the article page.

This little bug will make me hesitate next time I want to update or create an article.

I told you: Download the HTML, and the send the updated HTML to submit@codeproject.com. They will need to do it by hand until they fix the cripple. Until very recently there was a bug in it which made the article you are editing vanish, in an unrevocerable way.

This seems to be a new bug. I encountered this myself on the weekend while using Firefox. I'll dig in and see what's happening.

It's gonna mess your formatting up, that's gonna happen. It seems like codeblocks can't really handle line breaks.

I can see in The Lounge that one of my posts have 4 upvotes, but I can't see the upvotes in my rep history.

I have suspected for a long time that there is a bug somewhere, but I haven't been sure until now... Sigh | :sigh:

I have a feeling that it might be a caching issue between the different web servers, I've also seen it on occasions, but it's always in sync some hours later.

Nope it isn't. The Upvote count is now up to 5, and the LAST ONE, i see, but not the 4 first! D'Oh! | :doh:

And it is now 16 hours later. Doubt that the servers take THAT long to synchronize... Confused | :confused:

Of course you didn't. I suspect someones Mankini gets heavier if wet. Maybe he gets lighter if he puts these Nipple Tassles away?

I just hope you got that image in your head now.

Hi, is that the full Url you get in the banner? It seems to be missing the landing page Url. If there is any more to that Url could you please post it.

Can't seem to get that ad back-up now, I've tried refreshing a few times. I think that was the whole URL that was visible, the font was quite big so it didn't all fit in there. I was mainly seeing it on my rep history page (not sure that makes a difference).
