Quick *QUOTE* not working 100% in Firefox by Menthix on 08-14-2004 at 02:39 AM

Quick Quote works in both Internet Explorer and Firefox. However, if you select a part of somebody's post and then press Quick Quote in Internet Explorer it will only quote the part you had selected. Now if i select a part of a post in Firefox and press Quick Quote it will still quote the whole post. Ofcourse it could be just me, because i haven't tested at another system so maybe somebody with Firefox (or any other browser then Internet Explorer) could confirm it.

Any idea on what's causing it? I hope it can be fixed, because i really like to quote just the important part of a post. Right now i do it by deleting loads of quotes manually everytime.

EDIT: :s Bad mistake, i typed Quick Reply everywhere before, it should be Quick Quote, talking about this button [Image: qquote.gif] .

It's just you, it works fine for me, the only problem I've had with it is it putting the wrong name in quotes :s. Tried reinstalling FF?

Mozilla has a JavaScript Console, right? Can you open it and look for errors?


RE: Quick *QUOTE* not working 100% in Firefox by Menthix on 08-14-2004 at 03:36 AM

Yes it has, but it doesn't give any message at all when Quick Quoting.

Ddunk, you can select a part of a post and then press the [Image: qquote.gif] button to quote only the part you had selected in Firefox. Need to know for sure you weren't talking about Quick Reply.

I had this problem for quite a while, that is before and after uninstalling/reinstalling Firefox. But never cleared my profile folder though,  because i don't want to loose my extensions. However, a extension could be the cause if other Firefox users don't have this problem.

Could try some more testing tomorrow at a VMware system, but to late for that now.

Can you test again right now? I hacked the code a bit, but I have no idea if it will help. :p

No, no luck and no javascript messages either.
* Menthix wonders if i'm the only Firefox users with this problem.

Blah... the error shown in your JS console is because of a stupid mistake I made a few hours ago. I suck at javascript. :p

Try again now, and see if you get errors.

RE: Quick *QUOTE* not working 100% in Firefox by Mnjul on 08-14-2004 at 05:28 AM

You suck at javascript?

* Mnjul wonders if one day WDZ says "I suck at PHP" :p :lol:


Well, it's working fine now, both in IE and FF for me :)

It took a little more time then the others, but it works here too now.

However, when i saw that it worked for Minjul i tried it:

  • Didn't work, same old problem and no javascript messages.
  • Cleared all chache, restarted browser but that didn't help either.
  • Disabled a few Firefox extensions of which i thought it could have something to do with it.
  • Restarted browser, and it worked!
  • Enabled extensions again one for one to find out the problem.
  • Turns out that the "Allow Right-Click" extension (version 0.1) is breaking the Quick Quote.
The "Allow Right-Click" extension tries to beat websites that have a script which disable you from rightclicking the page or replace the rightclick menu. Firefox already has such an feature, but this extension is a improved version of it. Wierd that it blocks the Quick Quote script too, but i just uninstalled the extension now and everything is fine.

Thanks for checking it out WDZ :).

Argh, thanks for pointing that out MenthiX, was wondering why it wasn't working for me - too lazy to post about it though..
