SawmillCreek Upgrade

[Lee DeRaud]

Well that just goofy, Lee. Are you able to modify text and stuff from the toolbar? Are you possibly using the "Yahoo" toolbar in your browser? The only reason I ask is, I've seen that cause some real "weird" issues with fullfilling requests on sites and stuff like that. (Granted, we're in a pretty "weird" environment here, too. )

Nope, no toolbar, just plain old generic Internet Exploder.
All the underline/italic/bold/color stuff works (and, obviously, the "insert image" button), just not the buttons in the "smilies" box.

It all works on IE must be the operator.

[Lee DeRaud]

It all works on IE...

Or not.

Ok, just spent about 15 minutes looking at the HTML source for the advanced/WYSIWYG edit screen: the "insert smiley" dropdown list on the toolbar has code attached to it...sure enough, I can insert smileys that way . The box of smiley images to the right of the text area is just that: a table of images, with no code attached. Pre-upgrade, they activated an insert function for the attached image...now, well, they're just taking up screen space.

Lee. Long shot, but if it don't work, no harm, no foul. Have you checked what your latest version of Java is? I'm not a coder, but I believe these are items initiated via javascript. I wonder if you wouldn't make sure your Java Runtime is up to date ( http://java.com/en/download/index.jsp ) and see what happens then. Just a shot in the dark...

See my other post, John: there's no JS code attached to those buttons, just an image. Guess I'll have to get used to using the smiley drop-down from the toolbar instead.

Well then, that's a bummer! Just for grins and giggles, I just fired up my Firefox and doing the reply here. Again, all seems to be OK. (I think.) I'm not a big FF user, but it all looks "normal".

[Aaron Koehl]

Well, you got me on that one, Lee. I see how the attachment thing works and, at least on my end, the smiley's work but, I don't see how one does the "inline" attachment unless you maybe prepare a seperate text file to go with each picture. I'll try the attachment to see if that much works for me.

I might also point something new this afternoon--

We now have thumbnails automatically generated..

[Andy Hoyt]

I'm running Firefox 1.0.7 on Win XP Home.

I'm gonna test a few functions herethere should be smilies to the left

I'm gonna put a picture here

and now submit

okay - the smilies worked but the pjoto turnerd itself into a thumbnail.

Well - the thumbnail idea is okay.

But what REALLY stinks is that it opens in a new browser window.

Aaron - can that be changed somehow?

[Brad Hammond]

so lemme get this straight....... ya gotta prepare a txt file for the "inline pic" thingy?

Brad, I'm not positive about that and I haven't had the time to mess with it further, but that's what it appears like. The attachment list includes ".txt" and ".doc" file extensions, so that's my assumption only, as I don't see another option for inserting text. The "preview" after you put in a picture doesn't come up with the picture in the original message window, so I don't know how else one would do it, short of writing HTML for it. Maybe when Aaron gets some time, he can explain the process better to us. (He's been a busy boy as of late! )

Aaron,

I just upgraded Firefox to versio 1.0.7 and it seems to be working fine.

[Larry Browning]

Aaron, After some more testing I have found that none of the buttons around the text box work for me in Firefox. I can't attach pictures, add links, no smilley faces, nothing. When I float the mouse pointer over a button I get the description of the icon/button, but the icon does not change like it does in IE. When I'm in IE however, the buttons seem to respond just fine.

Well, now that I am at home, and also using Firefox, all the buttons work fine, so I guess the problem is with my computer at work.

What happened to my mark all forms read button?

Greg, though I don't use it, I found it under "Quick Links".

Aaron,

Should be scripts I modified today, but it's good to have upgraded anyway
