Updates to the Advanced Editing Bar

[Unimatic1140]

<span style="font-family: helvetica;">Hi everyone, it was reported to me that in the new

Internet Explorer 11, the Advance Editing Bar (upgraded only feature) was not working properly. So I've updated to the whole thing as to once again fix Internet Explorer.  If you guys notice any bugs please let me know. </span>

 

 

Thanks everyone.

Let's give this a try

Seems to be working just fine, although I find the default font a bit <span style="text-decoration: underline;">difficult</span> to read. 

 

Is there still a way to add a hyperlink to a selected word, within the text I'm typing?

This is how IE reacts to anything it leasts suspects....

Oh so THAT'S what happened. Well it completely blew away my posting ability with jscrip on. I can't even get a cursor, and the editing bar shows as a one item per line list with a '?' where the symbols would have been.

But as we know, I am part of that 1% of computerland still living in the 20th century, fox. I say, if the site has to be incompatible with something, let it be incompatible with IE11, which is incompatible with more things than W98 is. AND you'll just have to do another ceremonial dance when IE12 comes out.

Here's my promised reply:

 

IE-6 with SP1 fitted won't display the new photo upload, or advanced editing bar (Old one is fine, and displays old icons)

FF3.6.3 Displays the new photo upload bar, but as the same issue with the editing bar.

 

FYI, I have "JavaSludge" switched ON.

 

Would attach screen-shots as proof-positive, but I'm not sure if you'd be able to see them.

It's OK, I don't need 'proof positive'. I'm mostly saddled with it. And it's not just jurassics like myself. It's every browser of every age that is unable to make sense of SOMEthing.

Back in my day--like say, NTSC--we had these things called "standards" that made various things work together regardless who made them or when. Today, Microsoft and Adobe (to name two) are incompatible with THEMSELVES.

This is what comes of hiring greenie "engineers" who are cheap because they just graduated and have never worked anywhere before, then dumping their product on the market and because they're Microsoft or Adobe (to name two) they become 'standards' even though nobody in that entire chain even knows what "standard" means. [gag]

Glad I'm old and don't have to put up with this nonsense much longer.

 

[washer111]

Speaking of Standards...

Those folk you mention probably were the ones that created numerous superior, but none-the-less useless audio standards over the years...

 

MiniDisc, BetaMax, 8-track (Okay, maybe not), DAT, the over-sized cassettes (cannot recall the same). 

Almost all of them were Sony products too. Hmmm. Thoughtful engineering, for the audiophiles, right?

 

[nurdlinger]

the over-sized cassettes (cannot recall the name)

Elcassette?

 

[washer111]

Elcassette

Yep, that'd be the one. Another one of those "fangled" Hi-Fi solutions to the cassette/inconvenience of Reel-to-Reel. 

Unfortunately, the average Joe Bloggs didn't give a hoot about super-duper fidelity on those, nor on the Nakamichi cassette decks that followed! So they weren't successful.

 

Its rather similar to washers today - people don't give a hoot about all the gadgets, they buy for status, energy consumption and cheapness!

Of course, here on AW.org, we buy what WORKS with minimum "fuss" (Singing washers) and what will use ENOUGH energy to do the job

Nakamichi cassette machines were liked at radio stations.Never see n an "Elcassette" in use.
