(...) 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 (...) (21 years ago, 2-Jun-03, to lugnet.publish.html)

(...) 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)

(...) Except that relying on the browser's Back button is asking for trouble. Say you edit a reply, look at the preview, then go do something else, and when you return, the page is gone from your browser's cache. That would be a nasty surprise. I've (...)

(...) That makes sense. You still don't need the CRC, even if you keep the message edit section on the Message Preview page. In the bottom messge edit section just do the same thing as suggested for the message edit page - combine the post & preview (...) (21 years ago, 2-Jun-03, to lugnet.publish.html)

Quoting "Brian H. Nielsen" <70401.2635@compuserve.com>: (...) while that's workable, I like being able to edit while seeing the end result that caused my edit.

Quoting Todd Lehman <todd@lugnet.com>: (...) I'd think label it "Preview" on the initial submit, then "Preview/Post" in the preview page. JS would be difficult to deal with undone changes, as well as confusing - "There was the post button there, and (...) (21 years ago, 2-Jun-03, to lugnet.publish.html)

(...) You don't even need the CRC. Do what you said on the message edit page about combining post & preview so that there is only preview, but then on the Message Preview page remove the whole lower section containing the message edit box, preview (...)

(...) Sounds great in theory, and I think the CRC is a great fallback check if JS isn't available, and I like that the CRC method is forgiving of undone changes... But if there were only one button, what would you label it? "Preview or Post"? One (...) (21 years ago, 2-Jun-03, to lugnet.publish.html)

(...) why use JS? just combine the post and preview button to one, and detect on the server if the data was changed. If it was, preview, if it wasn't (matches a CRC in a hidden form element), it posts. (21 years ago, 2-Jun-03, to lugnet.publish.html)

This must be easy with JavaScript, right?-- I'd like to disable a submit button (turn it gray out and non-clickable) in an HTML form if the user changes any data in an editable text field within the form. The editable text fields are of type <INPUT (...) (21 years ago, 2-Jun-03, to lugnet.publish.html, FTX)
