Trouble posting a node

Hello everyone,

I've been trying since yesterday to post to SoPW without success. When I paste the complete article into the text box, my browser hangs on preview. When I omit the section surrounded by <CODE> tags, the node will preview normally. I observe the same problem trying to put the article into my scratchpad.

The complete text I'm trying to submit is available here.

Any help will be appreciated!

Josh

Josh, I was able to copy and paste your message (including the <CODE> section) and it previewed just fine. I'm using IE 5.5 on Windows 2000. What browser and OS are you using? Have you tried another flavor of browser? Cheers! Brent Edited: Looks like you were able to post successfully. Technology is great: when it works... -- Yeah, I'm a Delt.	[reply]

Brent, I'm using a Windows 2000 system and IE 5.5. Your reply spurred me to attempt submitting the node on another system; it turns out I could successfully submit it from a Sun workstation (Solaris 2.6 / Netscape 4.75). I'm still not sure what the problem is, since I've submitted nodes from this Win2k machine in the past with no problem. Anyway, thanks again. Josh	[reply]

It worked fine on ie 5.0 on win2k. If its still screwed tomorrow I can test it on ie 5.0 on NT4.	[reply]

Thanks Simon. As I mentioned in another reply, I was able to submit the node from a different browser/OS pair. There may be something funny about this particular machine. Josh	[reply]
