<![CDATA[Latest posts for the topic "Advanced Guestbook: preview button works only once"]]> https://proxy2.de/forum/posts/list/3.php JForum - http://www.jforum.net Advanced Guestbook: preview button works only once http://maloneandhutch.com/avg/ is not allowing revisions from preview. Even on the demo on this site, I find that if you preview your post, go, back and revise it, and hit the preview button again, nothing happens. This is not what happens on the real guestbook on this site, which does allow revisions from preview. What could be the matter?]]> https://proxy2.de/forum/posts/preList/3781/11255.php https://proxy2.de/forum/posts/preList/3781/11255.php GMT https://proxy2.de/forum/posts/preList/3781/11259.php https://proxy2.de/forum/posts/preList/3781/11259.php GMT
Testing this on the guestbooks here at proxy2, both demo and real:

It works fine in Firefox (0.10.1), just the way you'd like it to.

In Opera (7.23), clicking "Go Back" from the preview takes you back to the add entry form, and you can edit, but clicking "preview" again does nothing.

In IE (5.5 and 6.0), clicking "Go Back" from the preview blinks the screen (a reload? if so, very fast) and leaves you at the preview; clicking "Go Back" again takes you back to the main page of the guestbook. This is the behavior reported by Robotjes in [url=http://proxy2.de/forum/viewtopic.php?t=191]thread 191[/url]. Robotjes mentions the preview working fine in Netscape; Firefox is based on Netscape, I think.

It's a puzzlement.]]> https://proxy2.de/forum/posts/preList/3781/11287.php https://proxy2.de/forum/posts/preList/3781/11287.php GMT
Opera used to be good but these days it's getting pathetic. Firefox is the browser of the future and if Microsoft had any sense they would give up on IE and just include Firefox and Thunderbird in the next windows.

Doesn't really help with the problem though. Wonder if using the pragma nocache meta tag would help ]]> https://proxy2.de/forum/posts/preList/3781/11288.php https://proxy2.de/forum/posts/preList/3781/11288.php GMT https://proxy2.de/forum/posts/preList/3781/11317.php https://proxy2.de/forum/posts/preList/3781/11317.php GMT https://proxy2.de/forum/posts/preList/3781/11318.php https://proxy2.de/forum/posts/preList/3781/11318.php GMT

observed no change.

The iterative Preview in this forum works perfectly (in Opera, my browser of choice), without any need for a "Go Back" button.

hmmmm...... Increasingly puzzled.]]> https://proxy2.de/forum/posts/preList/3781/11320.php https://proxy2.de/forum/posts/preList/3781/11320.php GMT https://proxy2.de/forum/posts/preList/3781/11322.php https://proxy2.de/forum/posts/preList/3781/11322.php GMT https://proxy2.de/forum/posts/preList/3781/11445.php https://proxy2.de/forum/posts/preList/3781/11445.php GMT https://proxy2.de/forum/posts/preList/3781/11454.php https://proxy2.de/forum/posts/preList/3781/11454.php GMT

It won't be there for long, but: same behavior. As I said above, you can test this on the guestbooks at proxy2, no need to come over here; but I'll leave this up, unlinked from the site so as not to trouble my users, all 3 of them, for a few days. Carbonize, the guestbook on your site does the same thing.

Something else, about Opera, which I just noticed with the new install, is that when you have returned to the editing screen and made your edits, as noted above, the "Submit" button does nothing, also, just like the "Preview" button. I'm surprised no one but Robotjes noticed this before.]]> https://proxy2.de/forum/posts/preList/3781/11465.php https://proxy2.de/forum/posts/preList/3781/11465.php GMT https://proxy2.de/forum/posts/preList/3781/11467.php https://proxy2.de/forum/posts/preList/3781/11467.php GMT
OT: I hate the thought of removing HTML, but amber222 has got me worried.]]> https://proxy2.de/forum/posts/preList/3781/11469.php https://proxy2.de/forum/posts/preList/3781/11469.php GMT
When I attempt to preview a post and then go back to modify it in IE6 I can't do it. 1 click doesn't do anything (the page seems to refresh) and a 2nd click takes me back to the guestbook. I get the same results if I use the browser back button instead of the one in the body of the page.

When I try this in Firefox it works exactly as I would expect, every time. I can go backwards and forwards as many times as I like between preview and input screen.

Unfortunately I really need it to work with IE as most of my visitors are using it.

When I try this out on your Guest Book on this site using IE 6 it works OK!!

Do I have the very latest script? I only installed it today through the control panel provided by my web host and it appears to be 2.3.1.

I notice that when viewing the source of your preview page compared to mine there is a difference in the naming convention (gb_name / name etc.) - which indicates that perhaps the scripts may be different:

Yours:
<tr bgcolor="#E8E8E8">
<td width="32%">&nbsp;</td>
<td>
<input type="button" name="back" value="Go Back" class="input" onclick="javascript:history.back()">
<input type="submit" name="gb_action" value="Submit" class="input" onclick="if(flag==1) return false;">
<input type="hidden" name="preview" value="1">
<input type="hidden" name="name" value="Mark">
<input type="hidden" name="email" value="">
<input type="hidden" name="url" value="">
<input type="hidden" name="comment" value="Just a quick message to see how your guest book works.">

<input type="hidden" name="location" value="">
<input type="hidden" name="gender" value="m">

</td>
</tr>
</table>

Mine:
</tr>
<tr bgcolor="#FFFFCC">
<td width="32%">&nbsp;</td>
<td>
<input type="button" name="back" value="Go Back" class="input" onclick="javascript:history.back()">
<input type="submit" name="gb_action" value="Submit" class="input" onclick="if(flag==1) return false;">
<input type="hidden" name="gb_preview" value="1">
<input type="hidden" name="gb_name" value="Mark">
<input type="hidden" name="gb_email" value="">
<input type="hidden" name="gb_url" value="">
<input type="hidden" name="gb_comment" value="ttttttttttttttttest">
<input type="hidden" name="gb_location" value="">

</td>
</tr>
</table>

I'm on the edge of my knowledge and understanding of all this and would appreciate a simple cure please!]]> https://proxy2.de/forum/posts/preList/3781/12776.php https://proxy2.de/forum/posts/preList/3781/12776.php GMT https://proxy2.de/forum/posts/preList/3781/12778.php https://proxy2.de/forum/posts/preList/3781/12778.php GMT

Do you mean I'll have to just put up with it until your update is available?

Do you have a likely release date please?]]> https://proxy2.de/forum/posts/preList/3781/12779.php https://proxy2.de/forum/posts/preList/3781/12779.php GMT https://proxy2.de/forum/posts/preList/3781/12781.php https://proxy2.de/forum/posts/preList/3781/12781.php GMT
