Aweb problem

Why is it when I am posting - or editing a message such as this one I cant highlight-copy & paste in aweb ?

eg... I can copy & paste this once its posted on the forum (how your seeing it now) but NOT in the text box when posting/editing in the first place.

Bloody infuriating.

For example.. I just had to edit a clear a news item for posting but I couldn't highlight any text.


I had to post it... then go into Ibrowse to edit it again.






Obviously kudos to Ibrowse team !!

I don't know
I copied the above quote and pasted it inot the textbox.

If you can't do that then you have to select "allow dragging" in the program settings options tab.

Drag it, right amiga c it and right amiga v it to paste , as in any other app.

If your talking about cutting ad pasting within the textarea then that's a little clumsy at the moment.

Pasting works fine, whatever text in the clipboard can be pasted to the cursor position.
Copying will copy the textarea contents in it's entirety, not what you would expect.

But you can lauch an external editor to handle softicated editing.


THe javascript quote button simply doesn't work in AWeb yet. DOM issues.

Hi, thanks for quick reply.

I knew about the right A & C bit. thats how I've been copying into the clipboard.

aaaah yeah.. forgot about that trick.

[edit]

nope cant highlight in that either

From yor reply it seems like that bits still in development so I'll just have to wait

@broadblues

Sorry to hijack the thread a bit.

Are any further development done on Aweb, who's working on it and what features will we see in the future?

IIRC AWeb uses C:Ed as external text editor by default. This can be changed in one of the settings windows to f.e. Notepad, which does allow highlighting and copying of text. This is what I have done here.

@salass00

ah kewl...yeah.

Will alter it to do that.

Job sorted

@Troels

Well, that would be up to Andy (broadblues) to answer, but
here is some of the things that will be in the next version:

- LOTS of bugfixes (you expected that, don't you?)
- a massively updated javascript.library, which will make
more websites (js related) work than ever before
- charset support (given the installed font is capable of
displaying foreign characters)

That's all i can remember right now...

It does, but C:ed does allow marking copy and pasting, but not, oddly, cutting.

I use dme for editing (but then I'm weird)

Quite a lot has been done, we got as far as a release candidate, but the javascript libray has some issues with garbage collection that must be fixed before we can progress, working on it.
