When you preview a post, and then hit "back" in your browser, the radio button for the icon goes away.

That's how I produced the blank post above. 

But does with Firefox. 

But, on a side note, why would you hit "back" after previewing your post? The preview page has an edit box, and a preview and submit button. You can just keep going forward, never backwards (and always twirling towards freedom...) 

test 

I think I've got the invalid icon bug fixed -- i added some server-side validation that should chatch that and a few other problems.

Note: another thing i added is a block to prevent both title and body from being empty. So watch out!!!! 

I've now updated the javascript validation to be consistent with the server side validation. I also fixed the stupid flaw in my javascript that let you type just a space for body and title and submit. So hopefully, you'll never see a server-side error message.

And yes, i was screwing with the posting code for the last hour. Sorry shambler :)

Nice work with the forum code, metlu ;) 

why would you hit "back" after previewing your post?

Because people on the internet are stupid and will do anything possible to screw up anything possible in any possible way.

(Like making blank titles.) 

 

shit like that. 

well, if you're going to stop blank titles from working, at least have the default titles then? (although, it appears that it is still allowed?) 

I also fixed the stupid flaw in my javascript that let you type just a space for body and title and submit.

Let's check if it's true, if it is, than you're a bad guy, metl 

yay 

i think he meant that the title AND body could be empty before. (which is no longer the case) 

hmm, how'd you do that? 

 

does it never end? :P 

i think javascript and server-side validation can now both stop people trying to post with a body that only contains html tags, such as an open and close italic tag.

Let me know if there are any problems. 

I can't seem to break it at this point. Good work. 

 

test 

it just places the default icon then. sorry for the test. :) 

noooo! how? 

I even thought it's impossible now, but after few attempts (I think preview button some kinda helped me to it, but I'm not sure).
The body is empty tags and spaces, title is just spaces

I think nobody will do that now, cuz it's not easy now and takes much more time.
