Hi!

- After another layout-change, I noticed the border of the thumbnail in the comment-window is white. tried to change it, but I couldn't find it. Any ideas?

- Is there a way to avoid the "thank you" screen after commenting? I'd like to post a comment and make it refresh right away, without the "thank you" screen. I hope there's a way to solve it.

Thanx!

edit the language file in the language folder. (english for instance) and replace the thank you message with empty quotes >> "";

That only deletes the text, there's still a pop-up coming after commenting..

Hanneke,

yes, I understand your whish
I am thinking about that, maybe it's possible just to show some text that the comment is accepted above the form and not open another window

but this must wait as we are very close for the next release which is mainly a security-fix-release!

Ok, thanx Connie, I'll be very patient ;-)

About the other question..
I've installed Firefox half an hour ago, to check my site. the border around the thumb in the comment-form is pink right now.. don't understand how that worked out this way.
also the comments are set really strange. with dots and actually not a great lay-out (like it is in IE).
is it always a problem to make a site work allright in Firefox and IE as well, or is it a little code I have to add, to make my IE-layout look allright in Firefox also?

pff, maybe a little confusing like this, but I hope you understand what I'm trying to say.

Hanneke,

I understand your problem: the thumbnails show different borders in IE and Firefox
but I cannot check it now, as I am just having a short tea-break, but no FireFox in the office (and must finish a report now)
will have a look this evening, ok?

The borders are different, and the lay-out of the comments posted are different. you'll see what I mean when you look at it.

Thanx a lot Connie!

Hanneke,

look into the source-code of the comment-page:

1)
take off <!-- start --> at the beginning, a comment belongs into <head> or <body>
not before that
and take off <!-- end --> at the end as well, nothing after </HTML>

2)
in the CSS-part of that file:
#wrapper {
-->
#wrapper {
margin:0px auto;
padding-top:10px;
padding-left:10px;
padding-right:10px;
padding-bottom:10px;
border:0px dotted #444;
width:400px;
text-align:left;
}

take off #wrapper {-->

that is absolutely wrong

3)
take off this part of code, you do not need it here at all:
<script language='javascript' type='text/javascript'>
<!-- BEGIN
function flip(rid)
{
current=(document.getElementById(rid).style.displa y == 'none') ? 'block' : 'none';
document.getElementById(rid).style.display = current;
}
// End -->
</script>

4)
<base target="_new"> must be <base target="_new" /> with closing slash at the end

5) if you use <br> that is wrong, it must be <br />

6) close all image-tags with a slash! ..../>
close all inputs with a slash

close all stand-alone-tags which have no end-tag with at slash at the end ../> !!!!

7) you use <div id="imageinfo"> even 2 times, but it is not defined in the css-part, so maybe you should define it?

if you use something more than one time, it can't be an ID, it must be a CLASS

at all places, use <div class="imageinfo"> and not <div id="imageinfo">

8 ) the thumbnail has a purple border because it is a link and the links are defined like that:

a:link { text-decoration: none;color:#FC00F3; }
a:visited { text-decoration: none; color:#FC00F3; }
a:active { text-decoration: none; }
a:hover { text-decoration: none; color:#000000; cursor: crosshair; }

so you should change the colors for the links to black and it will be ok!

again: use Firefox, webdeveloper extension and validate and identify and experiment and you will have a good result!

Connie, I get this strange deja-vu (http://www.pixelpost.org/forum/viewtopic.php?p=8487&highlight=#8487);-)

hanneke, try what i suggested in this thread:

http://pixelpost.org/forum/viewtopic.php?t=1551

works really well... i played around with a bunch of settings and this worked flawlessly :)

and YES, this is compatible with PP 1.4.2 :D
