Re: Post Message Textbox in AJAX way

1-Mar-06 22:39

The discussion forum in CP is really impressive since each message opens up and closes dynamically when we click it.

Similarly, CP can try bringing in a dynamic DIV containing the textbox etc to post the reply, and similar dynamic DIV for 'Email' etc.

Detecting Hyperlinks

Vasudevan Deepak Kumar1-Mar-06 22:37

When we post a hyperlink, CP auto pastes a new window text. Similarly, it would be nice when we type a URL pattern and after a space (flagging end of URL string), the above auto format operation getting triggered.

Perhaps Microsoft Outlook etc would hyperlink http://www.microsoft.com/ when we type the / and press space.

Fully flash laden websites are history, given to the richness that an open standard JavaScript can offer and for the latent security issues ActiveX Controls that accompany the former.

There are other ways to put content on the page only for the webcrawlers to see. like in the meta tag.

I think I dont have to defend anything on this. If microsoft has gone for a flashbased webpage so it cares little about search engines and slow internet speed.

They always have multiple versions to support different user bases and also Google has a dedicated search page for them too. Have you checked out http://www.google.com/microsoft[^]

In a way. And get blocked and greeted by Windows XP SP2 with the message 'Internet Explorer blocked a potentially unsafe active Content'.

Come out of the old old shell of flash to the expanding world of JavaScript and DHTML.

How about ACCESSKEY attributes on the 3 buttons on the post message page? A value of Q would "press" the button when you hit Alt-Q on the keyboard.

E.g.:
Quote selected text: Alt-Q
Post message: Alt-P
Preview message: Alt-V

Hi,

I do not see the link to Bookmark the articles, like before.

I got lot of articles added to 'My Booksmarks' already, for easy reference at a later time. But the link is now missing. Frown | :(

Is there anything wrong?

A minor suggestion to consider from a big fan of CodeProject:

When I click on the Preview button, the window is almost invariably too small, and not where I would like it. I typically drag it aside and make it larger.

Is there a reasonable way for the forum software to "remember" this and have the Preview window be placed where it was before? Is this something that is outside of your website's control, even if you wanted to make this change?

(But perhaps this should serve as a hint for me to write smaller messages that fit in the provided space????? OMG | :OMG:

)
