Thanks for the update. I thought maybe style sheets were totally gone. Sorry to lose the blockquotes, but I reckon we can still personalize one ?

As for the buttons on the reply page, can you use onLoad JS to disable the function of the button until the page is entirely loaded?

I wrote some games and puzzle pages years ago that I had to seriously debug so I know where ya are. Between trying to stick to HTML, JS, CSS, and DOM standards, while trying to handle the idiosyncracies of IE and NS, I had to dig deep into the specs. It was fun :-)

btw, if you don't already have it, I recommend Dynamic HTML - The Definitive Reference from O'Reilly ... great reference book.

Thanks. I think I own every O'Reilly book. I'm sure I have that one, if not in print then on CD (love those CD bookshelves.)

I could use JavaScript, however, I want to use JavaScript only as an enhancement, not a requirement. This problem is a borderline case. The new forum has a better way of handling the posting form anyway, so I probably won't spend too much time on this old stuff.

Footnote: most of the recent changes are either to facilitate conversion from the old forum to the new forum, or as technology tests. New forum should be ready for a public beta test late Oct or Nov.
