John'll Fix it .

Yeah, that bothers me quite a bit too. But I usually use
3 spaces. I think that's the standard, isn't it?

[Fox]

Aye, 3 is good. And I miss using Tab also

[Paul282]

It annoys me two but I don't think John's going to be able to do much about it as it's your browser doing it.

In the mean time I think we should have a vote on the number of spaces to use for a tab.

Normally I think 2 is good, but sometimes (like here) the fonts are such that you want more space, I think at this site 4 would be better,

I always use 4

(That is of course after I grab the F###ing mouse and put the F###ing curser back in the F###ing text box because I hit the F###ing tab key to F###ing "Automatically parse URLs:" )

[Paul282]

Netscape version 1 didn't process tabs to the next web feature !! (but it didn't handle forms or script either )

Paul,

Instead of "grabing the F###ing mouse and puting the F###ing curser back in the F###ing text box" I would recommend just pressing the shift-tab keys, this will move you backwards through the tab order, as does pressing the shift-alt-tab keys to move backwards through the alt-tab icons. This works, as I, after three posts (just found this awsome site), also often move to the automatically parse URLs checkbox.

As for fixing the tab problem, the only solution that I can see is either javascript, or vbscript, which would both be a B*tch considering that there is already so much coding on these pages!

Well, once again You have had to listen to me ramble on!

[Paul282]

But shift Tab doesn't return you to the position you were at, only to the last char written.

I just felt like having a whinge!!

cam we use vbscript in these foums since they're done with php?

[Sam Finch]

I think php is a server side thing, so you can still put vbscript in the exported HTML, I'm no expert on this though.

[da_silvy]

that annoys me to, so i just avoid putting tabs in here

[Paul282]

Yes, but you get in the habbit from using VB and it's easy to forget when you're writing code into the web form

[Sam Finch]

If you're writing a long piece of code it's a lot easier to read if you tab it properly.

I still agree with sam

[John]

As Paul said - it is browser dependent. I cannot do anything about it I'm afraid.

John

[da_silvy]

but why should we do that, when there is probably an easy solution, which john (hopefully) is working on

[Fox]

The easier the better, just make 3 or 4 spaces and copy them

if This Then
   if ThisAlso Then
      While Not This
         If Not This = That Then
            End
         Else
            End( Anyway )
         Endif
      Wend
   Endif
Endif

Or we could switch to Netscape 1.0

[da_silvy]

no thanks, i'm reasonably happy with ie 5.0

Have any of you tried Netscape 6?

[da_silvy]

nope, is it any good?

[kedaman]

Meg, How much res is netscape 6 eating? I have problems with ie4 and considering to download it.

I have Netscape 4.7 and Netscape 6. Personally, i perfer using 4.7 because i'm much more fimilar with it than part 6. 6 is faster but the interface is stupid. As for resources, i'm not really sure. I never use my recoure meter much.

[kedaman]

Hmm, looks silly? why? I need a browser that doesn't eat as much res as ie4 but if it looks silly then yuck! How silly is it? can you give me an overall rate by sillyness/resourceeatingrate?

I never said it was "silly" i just said I was unfimilar with it. the buttons are all changed, they've eliminated all but the Reload, Stop, Back and Foward buttons and everything look so "blue"

[kedaman]

OK, stupid or not, RSRCMTR.EXE, do you have it?

Yeah.

[kedaman]

Well, run it while you're netscaping, and tell me what happens to the green chemical in it.

It's about 3 spaces high.

[kedaman]

Well, my chemical is now yellow, which means one box. =31% which is actually good, usually it goes down to 0 boxes

Oh, I forgot to mention that the chemical in mine was green.

[da_silvy]

what do yo mean by "chemical"??????
