If any of you use Firefox, then you’ll have noticed that the “Preview Comment” feature doesn’t work anymore. It stopped working after I converted this site over to XHTML. Initially it worked (even though it validated as XHTML 1.1) because I was setting the mime-type to text/html. To make it completely compliant, I set the…

Live! Preview and XHTML Compatibility
I’ve added a new feature called “Live Preview”. You can see your comment as it will appear, right as you type it. I randomly just came up with the idea yesterday – I figured I could use the same code I have in place for the preview, for the Live Preview as well. I just…
Preview Button and no more Iframes
I have added a “Preview Comments” button to the comment submission form. So now, you’re able to preview your comments before submitting them. The preview will show you your comments exactly as they will appear (after they have been submitted). The other big thing is the removal of iframes. I thought iframes were really freaking…
Scrolling problems
I’m having some problems with my Javascript code when it comes to scrolling with the mouse-wheel. You have to focus out side the “content” for it to scroll properly, especially in journal entries where the content is really long. I have an idea in mind, but it involves restructing completely. I’m thinking of removing the…
Formatting Tools
I added some formatting tools to the Comment Submission form. I need to change some of the images to better describe what they do. They should be mostly self-explanatory though. If you hover your mouse over the button, a little tooltip should appear, telling you what it does. If you click a button without selecting…
Fixed a problem with Comment submission
Sam alerted me to the fact that the comment submission feature wasn’t working. It had to do with improperly setting the action attribute of the form. Well, it was set correctly, but after created an .htaccess file, and wrote some Rewrite Rules, it got messed up. I just had to set it to an absolute…
RSS Feed
I set up an RSS Feed yesterday, for this website. I know there are tons of bloggers out there who write about many amazing topics like what their cat threw up yesterday. Then they even go so far as to set it up on RSS. I can’t claim to be completely innocent because I have…
Calendar
I made a little calendar that shows you all the dates in a particular month that contain one or more journal entries. You can use < and > to jump backward or forward by a month, or use > to jump backward or forward by a year. I think it’s pretty neat. Wasn’t all that…
Journal Entries partially working and Comments!
Guess what! You can add comments now too… muahahaha. Erm. Yeah. I’m going to make a pretty page from where I can submit journal entries. Well, quick and dirty first. Then the pretty version will come later. Finally… something functional on this website. It’s been about three months, but I finally have something here. I’m…
Journal Entry Display Template
Ok so I’m writing some stuff here… just to make it look like I have something… I’m figuring out the layout right now… so… blah de blah de blah. I need to write enough to make this look long enough. Like a normal journal entry. So… blah de blah de blah blah. Hmm… I think…
