Editing

So when I edited a post, then pressed the Home key, it brought me to the bottom of the page. This has happened before....

Is it just me or does this happen to others as well?

I tried it on yours and it didn't do anything. Maybe just you. Can you duplicate it? What exactly are you doing?

What exactly was I doing? Editing one of my posts, I don't know which it was when I noticed that Home suddenly meant End.

I clicked the edit button, changed some stuff, clicked save, then pressed Home to get to the top of the page... and I was sent to the bottom!

edit: beep
It really doesn't help when I keep getting booted. I hate 56k with a deep, deep passion.

OK, now I get it. I tried Home and it went to the top of the page.

Must be Minnesota.

Damn Minnesota.

/me grabs her PC and moves.

Michigan is just as cold and doesn't end in "sota". So... you know... you got a friend here. I'll stock up on Mario Kart and veggie burgers just in case.

:icon_rabb did you remember to click your heels together three times and say "There's no place like home" when doing this?!?!

Hey DM! When you edited your post, did you press Home?

@ kleenr, I'd waste you at Mario Kart!

I did but only to test what you said. I initially single(left) clicked in the edit window and then pressed <home> and it just shit focus to inside the edit window. Then I clicked outside the edit window on page border and pressed <home> and it took me to the top of the page.

I'll try it again after I make this post and see what happens.

p.s. What's the desired behaviour or what's it supposed to do when you click it?

Edit: cursor was automatically at the top of the message field to left of the beginning of my message. cursor was positioned to the left of the "I did" on the first line and pressing <home> didn't seem to change that.

One more test to be sure.

pps. I didn't single-click anything on the above two edits.

EDITED AGAIN: same result cursor positioned at beginning of message and pressing home didn't change its position giving the appearance of nothing happening.

I'm using Internet explorer 5 something on winme...you're probably using firefox and that's just a guess.

Send you to the top of the page (after the edit).

Mine doesn't. It either sends me to the bottom or does nothing. Apparently it's a Minnesota problem (according to lotd).

w0t browser u using?

**Potato** · January 6th, 2006, 09:01 PM

Firefox

:)

**Dark Messenger** · January 6th, 2006, 09:15 PM

ah ha! that's probably it. Firefox is so darn nifty that it probably has a setting somewhere you can tweak for how keyboard shortcuts respond...so in other words there's probably a setting you can change to make it produce the desired behaviour unless its a coding thing with the way jorge writes his scripts for zeropaid.

One way to find out is to try reproducing the event on different websites...try not to overcomplicate things.
