Text Previewer
Posted: Mon Oct 31, 2005 11:32 pm
Since I assume this is mainly done through javascript.. i am posting here.
Situation:
Trying to make a previewer so before someone submits an article
they can preview before they submit.
Whats currently working:
Everything... except for 2 issues.
1. When the 'preview' button is submitted, the pop-up window displays
but it shows the last preview article in the database. If the
pop-window is refreshed it then shows the correct current preview.
p.s.
I have tried
but that hasnt fixed the display issue
2. On my form, I want the preview pop-up to show without the form
going to the action(thanks.php) page. However I cant figure out a way
for the post fields to be recongnized without it first going to my Thanks.php page.
Meaning that it won't insert any data to the db
any suggestions?
btw here is my current code:
Preview Javascript
php code to insert preview to db then echo it
out for the preview.php to show it:
and the preview button:
