dbminter Posted July 19, 2006 Posted July 19, 2006 This is the 2nd time I've encountered it now, so, it appears to be a problem in the forum software. Has anyone else noticed it? When I highlight something and want to give the text two attributes, say, Bold and Italics, when I select first Bold and then Italics, what it does is surround the text with but Italics only puts [/i] after [/ b]. I have to go in and manually type in the at the other end. Now, it may just be the way the forum software is written, because, if you manually highlight the text again and repeat each text change one at a time, it works properly. And, I didn't know where else to post something like this. Especially since it's such a small error. If it could even be considered an error since it just appears to be a shortcoming in thinking of how the user might work with the software.
digidragon Posted July 19, 2006 Posted July 19, 2006 Just trying it now using Opera 9 and it seems to work fine. Maybe it's time you upgraded from Netscape 0.2... BTW, you are highlighting the text again when applying the second attribute?
blutach Posted July 19, 2006 Posted July 19, 2006 IE7 B2 (for my sins) test. Didn't need to highlight a second time. EDIT: Using Rich Text Editor Regards
LIGHTNING UK! Posted July 19, 2006 Posted July 19, 2006 IE7 Beta 3 Yes, for me, once I click the B it adds the bit and then moves the cursor to the right of what I'd selected and deselects what I'd selected. I'm not sure if you can call it a bug though, it might be by design. If you use the WYSIWIG editor, it might work differently.
cornholio7 Posted July 20, 2006 Posted July 20, 2006 doesn't seem any different to the way its always been using IE6. i have to mark the text each time
dbminter Posted July 20, 2006 Author Posted July 20, 2006 Maybe it's only a Firefox thing. I hadn't tried any other browsers yet. But, Firefox does have one annoyance I've noticed with the board that no other browsers do. The ' key SOMETIMES opens the Search function of Firefox. So, I can't always use contractions. So, for it to affect FF, and since no one else apparently has tried it there yet...
Grain Posted July 20, 2006 Posted July 20, 2006 I have Firefox 1.5.0.4 and it doesn't show the brackets like it did on previous versions, it changes it as you type to whatever your selecting it do, however you do have to turn them both off manually, as it leaves the options selected.
lfcrule1972 Posted July 20, 2006 Posted July 20, 2006 I use Firefox at home and Intershite Explorer 6 at work, both work as they always have in that I have to select the text twice if I want to make two formats on it.......
blutach Posted July 20, 2006 Posted July 20, 2006 Change yer board settings cruley to rich text and you'll need one only (in "More Options" mode). Regards
