It's just-- tab! I have no idea how it worked, because I don't know anything about that sort of thing, but it made me ridiculously giddy every time I used it. It was so cute.

t rereads last few posts I am such a loser.

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!

I stand corrected! I looked at the code and it's not too hard to do, but it uses JavaScript. Basically it says, if you're in the password window and leave it (this uses the OnBlur method), AND the username field is not blank, then submit the form.

t edit Actually, it checks that both the username and password are both non-blank.

No other candidate is asking the hard questions, like "Did geophysicists assassinate Jim Henson?" or "Why is there hydrogen in America's water supply?" --defective yeti

Actually, no. There is JS to put your cursor in the name field on the login screen.

And thanks for that. I suggested it at Salon, since other sites were doing it, even offered the exact code to cut and paste the second time I suggested (several months later), and they brushed me off.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I may be a minion of the evil empire, but I do like MSW's wordcount feature.

MSW isn't my browser.

Please, let's not make tab emulate hitting the submit button. Enter shouldn't even emulate it on forms with more than one field.

MSW isn't my browser.

I meant, Word. You don't have any wordcount-having word-processing application on your computer?

Yeah, but it still isn't my browser.

All right then; I thought you meant you didn't like counting them by hand.

I know people who do that....

By hand, or by starting another memory heavy application to paste and check, and ...

It's a tagline change. Expecting or encouraging the user to fire up a word processor for that is terrible system design.

Swouncing

I have a question, I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong:

I was just trying to quote a conversation of two people (in COMM), so I used the '>' at the beginning of the line. I wanted the two speakers to follow each other, without a blank line in between, so at the end of the first speaker's words I put t br then started a new line at my posting-box and quoted the second speaker. In each case, with or without a '>' at the beginning of the second speaker's words, it had a spacing of a blank line from the former sentence, and I couldn't make it go away.

Oh, and using t pre just made the lines longer than the screen's width, and didn't help at all with the spacing. But I was probably using that wrong. t /pedantic nitpicker

It's not an issue, of course, I just thought I'd point it out. Thank you, anyway - this place is so great to post in.
