Redesigned Web Based Submission Wizard Comments
-
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 [^] Jeff

The preview step happens before you upload any files, so of course the
<img>tags won't show anything. If you putaltattributes on your<img>s, the browser will show those instead.--Mike-- Visual C++ MVP :cool: LINKS~! Ericahist | PimpFish | CP SearchBar v3.0 | C++ Forum FAQ Ford, what's this fish doing in my ear?

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

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.

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. Jeff

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

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 ;))
