 Topic: Problem with Quotes
Posted: 28 March 2006 at 1:07am |
I noticed a problem when quoting two quotes. The third unquoted response shows up in the quote.
Here's what I mean:
Test Post 1 was a post that was quoted by Post Test 2. Test Post 1 and Test Post 2 were both quoted in the response Test Post 3, yet Test Post 3 shows up in the quoted box. I hope I'm explaining this clearly.

I shall look into this issue, but I don't hold much hope at the moment as crappy old IE creates a real problem with it's shocking and changing code that makes it very difficult to filter quotes properly.
Hopefully one day everyone will see the light and realise that IE is probably the worst browser you can get and change to one of the many better browsers, like Firefox, Mozilla, Opera, Safari, etc.
This would make life for web developers so much easier.

It displays the same way in Firefox.

It's the code in the actual post not the browser rendering.
IE's RTE produces some of the wrost code imaginable and trying to filter that code is a real headache.

This is the exact same thing that is hapenning on my site also. I'm able to tell apart the posts and who posted them because i've seen the formatting issues... but my members are completely lost and don't know who posted what when there are nested quotes.

Best advise I can give you till some way is found to sort out IE or kill it off completely is to tell your users to use better browsers like Firefox.
The way things are going I may look at disabling the RTE altogether for IE users this way it would clear up allot of issues.

Hi Borg,
The problem is that it displays the exact same way in Firefox also, so letting my users know to use Firefox instead of IE doesn't alleviate the problem.

You are getting the wrong end of the stick so please read the posts a bit slower.
The problem is NOT when the page is rendered in a browser, the problem occurs when the post is created.
If the post is written using Firefox then the HTML code that Firefox creates for the post is very nicely done and sticks to the w3 standards.
When you write a post in IE using the WYSIWYG RTE editor the HTML IE produces is shocking. This then courses issues when the post is filtered thus coursing issues with the formatting of items like quotes.
To put it in simple terms, if the post with quotes is created in Firefox you don't get the problem, write the post in IE you do.
