There's some code missing like the OpenPreviewWindow function is not there, seeing your code i figure you have done changes to that function as well, can you post the whole thing...?

Sure - At first, as in the first posting, I was pulling the same preview window code that comes with the forums, which is this...

function OpenPreviewWindow(targetPage, formName){

now = new Date

//Open the window first
openWin('','preview','toolbar=0,location=0,status=0,menubar=0,scrollbars=1,resizable=1,width=680,height=400')

//Now submit form to the new window
formName.action = targetPage + "?ID=" + now.getTime();
formName.target = "preview";
formName.submit();
}

Since then, I've made a different copy of it, that doesn't add the time ID for cache purposes. I made it as simple as possible, renamed the functionand the respective calling code, and here that replacement is...  (which, btw, didn't help either)

function OpenPoemPreview(targetPage, formName){
openWin('','preview','toolbar=0,location=0,status=0,menubar=0,scrollbars=1,resizable=1,width=680,height=400')
formName.action = targetPage
formName.target = "preview";
formName.submit();
}

Btw.. I do appreciate all of your help looking at this, fernan82 - one day I hope to have a site member gathering, and I'll have to send you an invite so I can buy ya a brew!

<EDIT> I'm getting the actual preview code together so I can post that, too. I can't see any possible reason it should affect it, but hey, if I had the answers, I wouldn't be here right now LOL

Here's the poem preview code in it's full entirety, with the exception of the DB includes for it.

<% @ Language=VBScript %>
<% Option Explicit %>

<%
Response.Buffer = True

Dim strPoem

Dim strPoemBack
Dim strBGPath
Dim MyQuery

Response.Expires = 0
Response.ExpiresAbsolute = Now() - 2
Response.AddHeader "pragma","no-cache"
Response.AddHeader "cache-control","private"
Response.CacheControl = "private"

strPoem = Request.Form("poem")
strPoemBack = Request.Form("new_poem_back")

if strPoemBack = "No Background" Then strPoemBack = ""
if strPoemBack <> "" Then
MyQuery = "SELECT BG_Name, Path FROM Backs WHERE BG_Name = '" & strPoemBack & "'"
Call OpenDBPoems
poemRS.Open MyQuery
if NOT poemRS.EOF Then
strBGPath = poemRS("Path")
poemRS.Close
Call CloseDBPoems
else
strBGPath = strPoemBack
Call CloseDBPoems
end if
end if

If Request.Form("browser") = "IE" Then

strPoem = WYSIWYGFormatPost(strPoem)

Else
strPoem = FormatPost(strPoem)
End If

strPoem = checkHTML(strPoem)

If strPoem = "" OR IsNull(strPoem) Then
strPoem = "<br /><br /><div align=""center"">" & strTxtThereIsNothingToPreview & "</div><br /><br />"
End If

Set rsCommon = Nothing
adoCon.Close
Set adoCon = Nothing
%>

Actually... I think I'm onto something. When the preview code is called, it's basically redefining the forms 'action' attribute to be the preview page title... so when returning to the main page, the form still has that attribute when it's submitted with the submit button.

Now all I need to do is figure out how boRg is handling that LOL

WOO HOOOO !  I got it - the two additional lines added to the CheckForm function resets the form's attributes to the original, hence allowing the form to process correctly when returning to it.

Here the new code....

function CheckForm()
{ var returnValue = false;
document.frmAddPoem.poem.value = frames.poem.document.body.innerHTML;
if (document.frmAddPoem.title.value == "")
{ alert('A Poem isn`t a poem without a title...','Form Error');
document.frmAddPoem.title.focus(); }
else {
returnValue = true;
document.frmAddPoem.action="poetry_submit.asp"
document.frmAddPoem.target="_top"
}
return returnValue;
}
