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.

That part sounds great to me.

On the Message Preview page, make the 2 sections be separate forms.  The top
preview form has a post button, while the bottom message edit form has only
a preview button. No JS or CRC required.

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, 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 to edit it.
there are three buttons, 're-edit' , 'delete' , and 'post'

if you hit re-edit, it just returns you to the first screen.

hope this helps!

(...) 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)
