  Re: // and ** vs {} and [] (was: testing in rtl...)
 
(...) What NNTP server do you use? I was under the impression that it was written in Perl itself. [...] (...) How about a different interpretation - // and ** (and don't forget __ for underlining) might not be interpreted the same as the {} and [] (...)

  Re: Disabling HTML form button if any changes made to an edit box?
 
(...) I think that might make more work for the user than is strictly necessary. If the server detects changes automatically (or if JS disabled the "Post" button automatically), then it eliminates a step. --Todd (21 years ago, 2-Jun-03, to lugnet.publish.html)
 
  Re: Disabling HTML form button if any changes made to an edit box?
 
(...) Todd, I was justing post a blog when i thought of something (well, saw how the blog did it) - one the page where you compose the text, it has one button that says "preview". when you hit it, you go to a page with the text, but you are unable (...)

  Re: Disabling HTML form button if any changes made to an edit box?
 
Quoting "Brian H. Nielsen" <70401.2635@compuserve.com>: (...) The problem is, that if you have two buttons, one says "Post" and one says "Preview", people would assume they're in the same form. I know I will. You can put multiple forms on the same (...) (21 years ago, 2-Jun-03, to lugnet.publish.html)
 
  Re: Disabling HTML form button if any changes made to an edit box?
 
(...) People already deal with multiple forms on a page and are used to the fact that the button they click is relevant only for the data on that form. The current Message Preview page is layed out in a manner that clearly suggests it is 2 different (...) (21 years ago, 2-Jun-03, to lugnet.publish.html)
 
  Re: Disabling HTML form button if any changes made to an edit box?
 
(...) That part sounds great to me. (...) And this part also sounds great -- except for one thing: What if someone makes edits in the lower form, but then clicks the "Post" button in the top form? --Todd (21 years ago, 2-Jun-03, to lugnet.publish.html)
 
  Re: Disabling HTML form button if any changes made to an edit box?
 
(...) I'll trust you on how other browsers work, you've got to maintain compatability. You can still accomplish forcing a preview before every post by removing the post button from the message edit form, leaving only the preview button. On the (...)

  Re: Announcing FTX for discussion groups
 
(...) Do you have Lucida Typewriter? Try setting your fixed-width font to default to that...it's a bit easier on the eyes than Courier. (...) Well, the only consolation I can offer today is a promise that we're making movements towards CSS, which (...) (21 years ago, 2-Jun-03, to lugnet.publish, FTX)
 
  Re: Announcing FTX for discussion groups
 
(...) I guess I don't see the advantage of this part, and I can't stand how when reading via the web it makes the listed posts look one way, and the posts themselves a completely different way. Plus, that fixed-width font is a killer on the eyes. (...) (21 years ago, 2-Jun-03, to lugnet.publish, FTX)
 
  Re: Disabling HTML form button if any changes made to an edit box?
 
(...) I like that idea. In fact I could even implement that immediately without any CRC or JS. That's a great idea, Brian, thanks! The top half would have only a "Post" button (and the "E-mail me a copy" checkbox) and the bottom half would have only (...) (21 years ago, 2-Jun-03, to lugnet.publish.html)
