Re: Sorry, my images don't show this time Chris Maunder7-Oct-12 2:48 Chris Maunder 7-Oct-12 2:48  Again, I can see the images fine. cheers, Chris Maunder The Code Project | Co-founder Microsoft C++ MVP Post with Code has Bad Formatting Richard Andrew x646-Oct-12 11:49 Richard Andrew x64 6-Oct-12 11:49  Check out the formatting of this post: http://www.codeproject.com/Messages/4389886/HTML-Body-mail-with-link-button.aspx[^] The voting buttons are appearing in the middle of the post instead of at the bottom. The difficult we do right away... ...the impossible takes slightly longer.

I update my subscription, I try to receive the confirmation email and I see as below but still no luck, thanks.

It may help. cheers, Chris Maunder The Code Project | Co-founder Microsoft C++ MVP Who's the silly monkey that did this? (onchange --> önchange by CP) enhzflep6-Oct-12 6:48 enhzflep 6-Oct-12 6:48  As a forum that's for coding, frankly I'm sick and tired of having to deal with some muppet's inability to sanitize input before it's displayed. Why, o why, O WHY does the fricken forum convert the javascript onXXXXX attribute to amongst other things, garbage like this: "önclick" or "önchange" ad nauseum? Sure, if people were trying to chuck a code in in such a manner that it would be executed, then sure - that's a perfectly reasonable case for content-modification. We hardly want some sneak putting (executing) javascript hidden in their posts. But when the bloody code is placed within pre blocks the behaviour is frankly amateurish and hacky. We're not on a news-site, it's a place for programmers right? Well what about the one that went out to lunch and left that job unfinished? Even StackOverflow can get it right. What am I missing? Why is it so hard? Make it work. Then do it better - Andrei Straut Re: Who's the silly monkey that did this? (onchange --> önchange by CP) Brisingr Aerowing6-Oct-12 8:37 Brisingr Aerowing 6-Oct-12 8:37  I have seen that several times, and I think it might be an issue in the underlying ASP.NET framework, as I have seen similar things on some ASP.NET websites I have worked on. I think computer viruses should count as life. I think it says something about human nature that the only form of life we have created so far is purely destructive. We've created life in our own image. Stephen Hawking Re: Who's the silly monkey that did this?

Know of any practises that specialize in the surgical removal of feet from mouths? I need to make an appointment. Perhaps some humility training would be good for me too. Make it work. Then do it better - Andrei Straut Re: Who's the silly monkey that did this? (onchange --> önchange by CP) Chris Maunder6-Oct-12 9:49 Chris Maunder 6-Oct-12 9:49  My bug, my blame. The history of this bug is that we allow pretty much all HTML in messages, preferring to filter out what's not allowed rather than rendering only the tags that are allowed (as opposed to other sites that allow only a small subset of tags). We very quickly realised that we needed to filter out all the bad bits (as you saw), however, we were careful to only filter out bad bits that were actually in live tags. So &lt;a onclick=... would not be subject to a filter, since it would render safely, but <a onclick=... was subject to the filter, since it was live and dangerous. but over time we then added auto-HTML-encoding of tags within PRE blocks so that if someone entered HTML tags without HTML encoding them, they would render correctly. At this point I forgot to switch the filtering out to happen after auto-encoding, instead of before. Simple fix, and I'm sure many appreciate you raising the issue. cheers, Chris Maunder The Code Project | Co-founder Microsoft C++ MVP Re: Who's the silly monkey that did this? (onchange --> önchange by CP) enhzflep6-Oct-12 10:23 enhzflep 6-Oct-12 10:23  I don't know which to offer first. My gratitude for the fix , or my apology for the tone of the report. One could certainly understand if you uttered the famous words of Jim Richards at the '92 Bathurst 1000 from time to time. Make it work. Then do it better - Andrei Straut Re: Who's the silly monkey that did this?

In QA, code blocks have a "collapse" option - which is really handy when some idiot person posts their entire application with a single line of problem description at the bottom, or in the middle. It makes it so easy to remove the code block and see the question, as well as get to the comment button without scrolling down through the whole message. I seem to remember that this worked in the forums too? Or am I just imagining that due too much cheese? Either way, it would be handly, particularly when you get a question like this: http://www.codeproject.com/Messages/4389640/tic-toe-game-not-working-as-expected-please-help.aspx[^] Any chance it could be re-enabled (or added if that was a product of my fevered imagination) for the forums as well?

See what you mean. Pity, but you have a good point! Ideological Purity is no substitute for being able to stick your thumb down a pipe to stop the water Meh, whut? "Unknown failure" Eddy Vluggen5-Oct-12 10:54 Eddy Vluggen 5-Oct-12 10:54  Site reported "unknown failure" when voting. Voted on http://www.codeproject.com/Messages/4389436/Re-Securing-application-password.aspx[^], and still fails when I try again.

"Unknown failure" Wes Aday5-Oct-12 10:58 Wes Aday 5-Oct-12 10:58  Me too. Tried to vote on one of Eddy's answers and got the unknown error. IE8. Why is common sense not common? Never argue with an idiot. They will drag you down to their level where they are an expert. Sometimes it takes a lot of work to be lazy Please stand in front of my pistol, smile and wait for the flash - JSOP 2012 Re: Meh, whut?
