Hi wikipedia-l,
the server is extremly slow at the moment, so I move this from the village pump to here. Eloquence wants to implement a default edit mode using click-buttons for formating. This doesn't work with a number of browsers. With some, it just doesn't do anything (browser that don't support JavaScript). With other browsers which support JavaScript but not the right kind, it does funny things (as inserting the formating tags not at the cursors place, but at the end of the edited text). One of this browsers is Netscape 7.1, and if I understand the discussion at the village pump correclty, Mozilla won't work correctly, too. Still, Eloquence wants to make this fancy editing mode the default mode -- which would led to an seemingly unusable wikipedia editing for a number of browsers. I must admit that I don't like the introduction of fancy editing at all, but if we introduce it, it either should work with *all* browsers currently used, or it should be off by default.
What do you think?
Best regards,
Till
What do I think ?
I concluded from numerous browser experiments to work *with* Wikipedia, that the only browser I could use, that supported utf8, was Netscape7.
If Netscape7 may not be used any more on Wikipedia, I will revert to Opera 5. Those supporting this proposition will clean up after each of my edits :-)
