Forum Jump

[DKenny]

Why does the "Forum Jump" Dropdown have a Go button when it already has an event proc to redirect? This seems redundant, superfluous, unnecessary, or all of the above.

[Jacob Roman]

Dude, I have no idea what you just said , but you posted this in the wrong section. It should be moved into the Forum Feedback section.

[dogfish227]

it took me 2 mintues to find the forum jump thing ive never been that close to the bottom of the page before. But the go button is there b/c go buttons are dead sexy. Also some browsers probally wont handle a selection change in the drop box so the button will be needed for those browsers.

[I_Love_My_Vans]

Might be that some browsers do not suppport auto jump features, for example when you clikc a link, some browsers might not auto jump.

Thus the go button

[si_the_geek]

The answer is that the auto-jump feature uses JavaScript. If you have it disabled you can use the button to perform the action

(ah, and moved to Forum Feedback)

[NotLKH]

EEK!

WHAT HAPPENED TO THE JUMP TO BUTTON!!! It looked like what I had in a previous post, now its that square gray Search Button thingy !!!

I've always thought it should look like the one for the Jump To, Like this:

Sorry you've lost me, I can't see a button like that, I just see a standard "submit" button (in IE and Fx)

[NotLKH]

I see a Go button right next to the forum jump dropdown.

Its square, its Gray, and it looks just like the old Go button that was beside the search textbox a version or so ago.

The very first post in this thread refers to this go button.

You can't see it?



ok, ok...

Give me a minute, and I'll screenie it.

...

There.

It doesn't look like this on your Explorer Browser???

[si_the_geek]

Strange, for me it is a standard "submit" button, just like 'Post Quick Reply' (even after clearing temp files & reloading).

Does anybody else see the Square version?

[Hack]

Does anybody else see the Square version?

I see the standard Go submit button from my browser.

The screen shot NotLKH posted looks more like a VB command button than submit button.

[NoteMe]

?? Isn't the standard Go Submit button just a "VB Command button"????

[Hack]

My buttons don't look like that at all.

Take a look at my attachment.

[Something Else]

Except for the buttons in the posts, {Edit, Quote, and the postreply and new thread buttons} all of mine have that default battleship gray look.

[NoteMe]

Here too. What OS are you guys in? I am in WinXP right now...

[Hack]

XP Pro with IE 6.0

[NotLKH]

Win2000 5.00.2195 with IE 6.0.2800.1106

[NoteMe]

I guess that didn't help anything..


What domain are you guys using then? I have tried them all now (I think) and I get the same result. But I usualy use: http://vbforums.com Not that I can see why it should make a difference.

Dead end again. Guess I give up.

View Source of your page.
Extract some relevant code pertaining to these buttons.

Is it different or the same as what I posted above?

[NoteMe]

It is the exact same, AFAIK.

Well, thats Good, since both you and I see the same thing.

How about Hack?

[k1ll3rdr4g0n]

Do you guys use a different Windows XP theme?
Im pretty sure classic is going to be a VB type button.
Thats just my guess...

[NoteMe]

Ohhh....ohhh...I am using the Win2k theme in WinXp......let me test something...

[NoteMe]

Hehehe....wooohooo..that was it..:..I have no idea who you are, but thanks a bunch and a half. Reps to you for solving something that would have been stuck on my brain for the rest of the week if it didn't get resolved..


[Edit] Seems like I have rated you before, so I guess I do know you somehow...

I got your back NoteMe. I hadn't rated him before, so I took care of it in your name! (I was going to give him reps anyway)

[NoteMe]

He got dobbel rated then...since I went through my bookmarks for reps that I havn't been able to give out yet, and when I had done that, then I was able to give him a rep.. Now I only owe one..

So How do I use the WinXP theme in Win2k?

[k1ll3rdr4g0n]

You can't.
You need a external program such as windows blinds.
