joshwand Posted March 31, 2003 Share Posted March 31, 2003 If I make an error on the photo-add page, it would be nice if photo.net redisplayed the form with the data pre-filled. As it is, when I press the back button to correct my errors, IE6 decides to zero out all the input boxes so I have to retype everything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
emre Posted March 31, 2003 Share Posted March 31, 2003 It happens to me too, and I find it very distressing. The best thing to do is to click in the form then press "Ctrl+A, Ctrl+C" to copy the lot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hal_bissinger Posted March 31, 2003 Share Posted March 31, 2003 That's a problem with IE not Photo.net. Even when responding to a question (like right now) I always make it a practice to copy the text to the clipboard (highlight, ctrl-C) so that I can paste it back if I have to go back and edit. For some reason, IE (IE6)doesn't always decide to dump what I typed and sometimes will redisplay it. Dumbass computers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joshwand Posted March 31, 2003 Author Share Posted March 31, 2003 Browser problem or not, it would still be nice if PN did it the nicer way. After all, what browser do you think most PN'ers use? Besides, there are too many fields in the photo-submit form to copy-paste in and out of. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pmj Posted April 1, 2003 Share Posted April 1, 2003 I am not sure how the photo.net server could do anything in particular when you press your browser's back button. How is the server supposed to know that? Maybe with a bunch of JavaScript code, but I wonder how reliable that is going to work. What may be possible, is to put a link on the error page, which, upon clicking it, should lead you back to a filled-in photodb page. As for IE6 zeroing out the input boxes... couldn't you simply file a bug report at the developer's website? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pmj Posted April 1, 2003 Share Posted April 1, 2003 Josh, all kidding and left-out smileys aside, I think it's a good feature request. Hopefully, Brian will chime in with an opinion / decision. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
