Anyone else see this from a browser like Mozilla, Netscape 7, or other?

When typing in a new post (I'm using Mozilla Firebird 0.7), if I position the cursor anywhere in the text, then click on the Size, Color, or Font dropdown menus with the intent to insert those FUDcodes at the desired cursor location, it ALWAYS inserts at the very bottom of what I'm typing instead of where the cursor is.

Works fine in IE 6 (but I don't *want* to use IE).

Its probably a browser bug in Firebird 0.7 itself, but I'd like to know if any other browsers have this problem as well.

Yes, I have seen this as well using Mozilla and Firebird. I figured it was just one of those java scripts that only works "right" with IE (for whatever reason). I usually wind up letting it insert the code, then highlight and drag where I want it to go.

Actually the situation is like this. IE supports JavaScript functionality that allow FUDforum to get the current cursor position and even selected text.

In 2.6.0RC6 I've addewd a hack for Mozilla that allows it to put tags around selected text and I will try to get it to position the tags at the cursor as well.

Great! Please attach your lib.js when you're done, so I can update my v2.3.5 board.

I see that RC8 says Mozilla insert bug fixed. And it does work on this forum (using Firebird 0.7). I've tried replacing my FUDForum v2.3.5 lib.js with the one from RC8 (after backing up mine first of course), but then no insertTag things work at all when I use Firebird 0.7.

When I compare the two lib.js files, I see the new insertTagMoz function and the changed insertTag function seem to have the main changes. OPERA variable changed, and 2 new functions at the bottom
(fud_msg_focus and fnLoadPngs).

I have no idea why I can't just replace my lib.js with the one from RC8. I even View Source on my board and compared it with yours, but I don't see any Javascript changes that explain why mine is not working with the new lib.js file.

I've restored the original lib.js file on my board at the moment.

Any ideas?

Simple, you need to modify post.tmpl & ppost.tmpl and add id="txtb" to the <textarea> tag.

There is still a slight problem when using Firebird 0.7 (Mozilla) when posting or replying:

In a long post/reply, if I highlight a section of text, then, for example, pick a color from the dropdown, suddenly the cursor is moved to the very top of the post/reply, and I have to Page Down again to where I was typing. The actual FUDcode elements are inserted at the correct places, its just the cursor jump to top of page that is annoying.

This occurs even on this forum.

I am using RC10. It seems that Safari 1.1.1 (on the Mac) has a similar problem. When I click on a button, I get everything already in the textbox repeated, with the tag before it. So, for instance, if I type, "Hello" and hit the Italics button, I get:

Hello{I}{\I}Hello

(I changed the square brackets to braces, so you can see what I mean).

I believe that Safari is based on Konqueror. Its navigator.userAgent is:

Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X; en-us) AppleWebKit/103u (KHTML, like Gecko) Safari/100.1

Interesting, I don't see that dulication behavior using Firebird 0.7. The only thing I was annoyed at was the cursor jump to top of the textarea box. The FUDcode tags are inserted in the correct places for me.

I have not experienced the cursor moving bug in Mozilla Firebird 0.7, but let me assure you that FUDforum does not try to move the cursor. So, if it does happen it is a browser bug.

Yeah, Safari uses a Konqueror 3.2 engine, which I'll install later today and try. It appears that Safari/Konqueror may have a bug and I'll need to add a JS work around for them.

I've confirmed the Safari bug and a work-around has been implemented in the CVS.

Very strange, because I see the page jump problem here on this board, and I'm using Firebird 0.7 under Win2k. Its not actually the cursor that jumps, its just that its like the Page Up key has been pressed until the very top of the text is shown.

It could be a Win32 Mozilla bug, since I don't see on *nix.

Well, problem still exists. There is a tag placing bug in all scripts like this (in phpbb and even in Apple forum too!). Only Wikipedia script works correctly... I don't know how they made it, but it works! Can you do it same way?

Could you figure out why it is not working there? I don't have a ready access to a mac system and no way of replicating the problem described.

When I press any button on a button panel to add a tag it appears at the end of message. Always. And never near the cursor. Any text selections also ignored - tags are inserted only at the end of message. Almost all forums have this bug, only Wikipedia editor works correctly. And I really don't know why it happens...

Well, I literaly would need a patch since I have no way of testing or even seeing the problem, since I don't have an access to the mac.
