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!

    Edited: Looks like you were able to post successfully. Technology is great: when it works...

      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

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