Samizdata likes Firefox at last

Firefox users rejoice... at least those who use it via Windows XP... the push button formatting now works in the comment entry forms, but you will probably have to clear your browser cache first to notice any difference.

Yes, it works.

Huzzah! I no longer have to use the Devil's Browser for the buttons to work! Outstanding.

FYI,

I'm using Linux (Mandrake 10.1) firefox 1.5.0.7 and it too appears to work

Phil, that is excellent news!

The buttons don't appear to work with Mepis 3.4-3 Linux and Firefox 1.5, unfortunately. No problem. I could be wrong but would be willing to bet that the majority of recreational Linux users are familiar with html anyway.

Nice link, ResidentAlien. Very useful!

It seems to work with Galeon on FreeBSD also.

Although this is not a surprise given that it works with Linux. Still, I prefer to type the raw code. ;-)

Remember personal info?


Enter anti-spambot Turing code:





Select some text and click this to format it as a quote Make the selected text bold Make the selected text italic Add a web link


Basic html active.

Alas, but for obscure reasons Mozilla, Mac and Linux users shall not harness to power of the push-button formatting options and shall therefore compose basic html with their bare hands. Yet Mozilla, Mac and Linux users shall not fear, for we shall reveal forthwith the mysteries of Basic Html:

<strong>This text in-between is bold</strong>

<em>This text is in italics</em>

And
<blockquote>This is a quote</blockquote>
Remember to close your opened tags as such: <tag> tagged text and closing </tag> and we promise you will get out of here alive.

For adding links, either use the link URL button on the toolbar or enter your code by hand in the following format:
<a href="http://www.your_link.com">your link text or description here</a>
