Yep, that got it.  Thanks andrew_!

So what about the issue I am finding when the first time I hit the quote button the page is reloaded, clearing any text I have already written and wish to add a quote to???

Hack78,

I will need numbered steps and screenshots of each step from you to reproduce that issues, im afraid. I cannot determine what action you are taking to cause that to happen based upon your last reply. I also cannot reproduce any action where text is dissappearing.

I have nowhere to post screen shots - plus you would ideally need a video to fully see how it happens. But the steps are as I said above.

1) <Optional if required> Write some text

2) Click quote button (either highlighted text for snippet or whole message)

3) Lose anything already entered into the Quick Reply text box as the page reloads

4) Wait for page again.

5) Start again (i.e. re-enter text from step 1 if it was present and perform quote function again so that the quote works this time (without reloading the page))

5) Finalise posts and click "Post Reply" button and wait for forum to reload with the posted message on the bottom

Hey Andrew, here are the steps and pics.

(my edit button is not working.....)

Typing in the text first is optional. I just did it to show you that everything vanishes when you hit the quote button.

Thanks Xiandi - that basically looks like my issue as far as I can tell..

Just posted the following link without the page reposting (at home)

I've followed those exact steps on three different machines with IE7 and IE6 and cannot make the page reload happen. Nor can I get the text to clear in Quick Reply box.

From your screenshots it looks like your browser is not handling the anchor properly. What *should* be happening, is not that the page is reloading, but rather than the page just scrolls down to the reply box. If you're mistaking the page scrolling to the reply box (which is what happens with #reply shows up in your address bar) then the page is not reloading at all, and it's a problem with the editor. If the page is actually reloading (as in you see a progress bar at the bottom and you can tell the page is physically reloading) then you have a problem with your installation of IE.

I'll see if I can manually force it to break today, just to rule out any possibilities that the script is causing the issue. If I can't force it to break, I'm going to try a different method of 'scrolling' back down to the quick reply box. So check back in about two hours and I'll reply with a followup.

I did not really look to see if the page really reloaded, and I can't remember if the progress bar showed up. I don't know if you fixed anything or not, but it seems to be working OK now. 

Yeah I changed the method of how the page was 'scrolling' to the reply box after the quote button was clicked. It didnt sit well with me that the previous method was working for only 99.9% of users, so hopefully this will work across the board.

The page WAS reloading (progress bar was showing blue "progress").

Also, if it was just scrolling to the bottom, the pre-entered text would not be wiped as there had not been a round trip to the server...

Hack78, are you reporting that the function is still not working for you?

No - it seems to be working now. Just pointing out it WAS reloading the page for me...

Thank You Andrew!!
