I’ve been thinking today about an improvement to the quote tool on the
FreewayTalk Web site. Currently, it’s an all-or-nothing affair, with
the only means of trimming a quote being to delete text after you’ve
pressed the Quote button. Further, the Quote button is destructive –
if you’ve typed anything into the Message field, it will be
overwritten by a click on the Quote button.
It works well Walt. Only thing that I would suggest is to give the button a cursor change to indicate it is a button. As it is it just appears to be selectable text until you try clicking on it.
No more typing - it will be like ransom notes made out of text cut from old newspapers and will save massively on endlessly quoted threads - thanks Walter.
If you select multiple lines of the text from bottom to top, it
doesn’t seem to work for me.
e.g. I start at the end of ?> and select back up to the beginning
of <?php

Aha. That’s an interesting bug. I can fix that, I think.

Try it again now. I have it working perfectly in Safari, Mozilla has a
strange bug where the block of code collapses to a single line when
you quote it. If you select a range of text starting and ending
outside of the block of code, there’s no problem.
In either case, the reverse selection problem is fixed.
