Problem with Quotes

If you look at the latest stats IE is way below 85% of the market share, somewhere more around 60% now:-

I do still write the code to work in IE, but to be honest it is such a bad browser I often spend more time trying to get round the bugs in IE than I do writing the code in the first place. With the RTE I probably lost months in time getting around IE's bugs.

IE is promising to sort out allot of these issues with IE7, although from running the beta version I find it more buggy and worse than before.

I do try and find solutions to these types of bugs in IE and find work around for them, but to be honest it drives me mad and the amount of time I spend on this is ridiculous.

I am looking into the issue, but as I have already spent the best part of around 20 hours on trying to get the quote blocks to work correctly in IE I'm still happy at the moment it works at all.

Dropping the single line spacing in IE would help allot and after spending 3 days on sorting out the quote blocks when posting in IE about a month ago I did almost resort to doing this, but decided people liked the single line spacing to much now to drop it.

However, because the quote blocks are produced by filtering the post on the fly, when I do find a solution it should sortout the issue with the present posts.

I've always coded for both but after seeing how appalling IE7 is I really can't see people wanting to use it, and it's nailed the lid in the coffin for me as far as IE is concerned.

Only time will tell if more people will change and move away from IE when IE7 is released (I'm hoping they will).

Most people I find who still use IE only do so because they didn't know you can use an alternative.

For the time being I'm coding not just for Firefox, but IE, Opera, and Safari, as these are the 3 most popular browsers, oh and Netscape, but that just uses the Firefox and IE engines anyway.

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.   Jason wrote: Jason wrote: Test Post 1   Test Post 2   Test Post 3

The solution is to remove the code that forces IE to only move by 1 line when you hit the 'Enter' key.

If you remove the code that does this it will fix the problem, but you will be left with IE's double line spacing when you hit the 'Enter' button when using it's RTE API, which is used for the WYSIWYG Editor.
