Hi Chris,

That is basically the gist of it.
As I metioned iwth Hans, I think it boils down to two points:
1) I prefer the online composing versus offline composing and then uploading
2) I really like the CodeProject Web based HTML Editor. It has some quirks, but I can live with them.
Currently my choices for HTML Editors can be divided into two catagories:
1) Bloatware (FrontPage, OpenOffice)
2) Broken or Crippled (Namo, which I use, is one of these)
In the end, I desire good old Adobe PageMill. I wish I hasd my old copy. It may be HTML 2.0 or 3.0 compliant, but it is perfect for what I need to do.

Hi Hans,
Hans Dietrich wrote: You have made some really good suggestions lately, so I'm assuming that I don't understand what your intention is with this suggestion - it seems either trivial, or you mean something else and I just don't get it.
I think it is the former (something trivial) - I prefer online composing rather than offline. With offline composition, I have to maintain an HTML editor. I don't claim I hand code my HTML - I will hand clean HTML as required. But I really don't like HTML coding in general (is HTML still considered a Programming Language?).
The CodeProject has one of the nicer HTML Editors (and it is web based to boot). So, I'd like to start an article, perhaps walk away, then continue later.

OK, I understand. Have you looked at the HTML editor features in UltraEdit?

Hi All,
I think (IMHO) it may be a good idea to allow a reader to subscribe to articles. Items to be notified of would be Article Updates and Comments Added.

Some keyboards have " on shift+2 instead of @. Did you install a new keyboard language recently?

No, I could type @ into google or word, just not in codeproject, but it's working today.

I should have asked - is this Windows 2000? When the same symptoms occur on my Win 2k machine, a reboot fixes the problem.

Shouldn't a logoff and log back in itself work? I think it works.

Hi Bob,
In that case, I have to punt.

It is obvious you've uncovered a hidden feature (an Easter Egg perhaps?). Now if we can only find:
1) how to get the copy of Flight Simulator to launch Excel 97 Flight Simulator [^]
2) the documentation on this hidden feature
I suspect [2] has to do with Security and thwarting online phishing scams - if you cannot enter information into Explorer, it cannot be phished.

...why not have a survey asking who is using it? Some suggested options:
- I don't have it installed and don't plan to anytime soon.
- I don't have it installed but hope to try it out soon.
- I have it installed but haven't used it much.
- I use it fairly often to try out the new stuff.
- I am using it already for commercial dev work.

I have posted an article here http://www.codeproject.com/useritems/mp3toexe.asp If you view it in IE it failing of the right edge. But there isn't any text that goes out of the border so you don't need to scroll. There aren't extra spaces either. So why does this happen? Also, in preview it doesn't flow out.

I reformated the article for you - the lines in the code blocks were too wide.

Thanks very much But I think I have checked that too. Strange

I have also encountered this (and still scratching my head as to what I did wrong). Could you provide more details so I don't have it happen again in the future?

The trick is to watch the scrollbar at the bottom of the WYSIWYG editor in the submission wizard. The WYSIWYG editor is set as 640 pixels wide. If it can't hold the contents of your article without scrolling then neither will a printed version of your article.
Wrap your code correctly within that window and everything will look perfect.

In the past, I've used the 80 character count rule. I suppose I've violated it somewhere.

I've posted 111 more then 100 messages and I am still a poster. Why? Also, when I submited my frist article I was browser for several days and then became contributor. Why does this happen? Thanks

It's not possible to specify code #include directive in the message text. Seems it's taking as an html tag. Putting code tag also could not help me.
