Posted a new article yesterday ASP.NET Validators Unclouded[^] and it has to be said that I'm really not fond of the new interface. Two problems in particular: 1) I spend a lot of time formatting the HTML so that I can actually maintain the article. The way it reformats now (particularly removing whitespace, but I'm also not keen on upper-case HTML tags) is ugly at best, unbearable at worst. If I have to make changes then it will have to be to the article as I wrote it, not the edited version, which isn't great news for the editors. 2) It seems to change all ".php" to ".php" meaning that I have a line of code half way down my article saying
Response.Redirect("anvokay.phpx", true);That makes no sense! I assume this has something to do with the fact that the whole site seems to be PHP rather than ASP now, but if you want people to submit ASP[.NET] articles then this isn't a great help :laugh: I haven't noticed anything else... yet... but in short, it would be nice if it actually retained the HTML you give it. Paul We all will feed the worms and trees

Okay, very funny :laugh: Not sure it's the best idea having that happen in the middle of articles, but okay, you got me :) Still, the reformatting is a problem.

Geez, I'd have been in trouble if I hadn't seen that ;P But it still went ahead and reformatted it for me. All my tags became upper-case, the blank lines between paragraphs disappeared and the indent tabs for TD tags got lost as well. :( Chris Maunder wrote: The PHP thing - well - you don't *seriously* expect us to do a full rewrite in a day Why not, ya bunch of wimps? ;P I'm not a morning person. I'm not even usually awake at that time in the morning, let alone able to think beyond the obvious, but I bought a dog at the weekend and he is very much a morning person. :laugh: Paul We all will feed the worms and trees
