I updated the site code a bit again. Most users will not notice a difference, but the page editor now uses AJAX for loading the page preview (a scriptless POST fallback is provided), and the publication engine now also loads the movie categories when selecting a movie to be obsoleted. And, the WSDL file was updated. But even this shouldn't force changes to existing WSDL users.

Nice job, Bisqwit. The previews are loaded as they should — flawlessly. :)

The javascript used to show the tabs seems to have suddenly broken a few days ago (in IE7, anyway). I don't know if it has anything to do with the updated code, but that's about the time when I noticed it. It still works in Firefox and Opera. I know some people have a predisposed notion to hate IE no matter what the cost, but the tabs have never been a problem before.

Is this why short posts don't work anymore--because you have to go through an extra page to say Yes? Invalid Session. Please resubmit the form. Invalid Session. Please resubmit the form.

Remind me to disable javascript for this site, as the preview is now hopelessly broken. (I get nothing but a white box that never updates) (Opera 9.x, WinXP)

Using IE6 and WinXP... this page: http://tasvideos.org/776M.html I get an "error at line 69." I also get an error on line 57 on the front page. If I direct link to the submission (above) I get no error.

Huh, that's odd: now the preview doesn't work for me as well. :\ Did you change it again or something?

Hmm, preview still works for me. (Firefox) Yes, I changed it, but it shouldn't have caused external changes... dk64_master: Thanks, will investigate it. BagOfMagicFood: No, the changes had nothing to do with forums. tmont,xkeeper: Probably related to the problem dk64_master (notice proper capitalization) informed us about.

Oh, I see. MSIE does not support node.localName. MSIE does not support node.hasAttributeNS. Etc. Etc. Etc. GRRR. Edit: This painfully reminded me how and why I decided a year or two ago that I don't CARE about supporting that BROKEN STUPID IDIOT browser. It always causes the work time to multiply tenth-fold, because it does not support standard features which all other modern browsers support, causing the webdesigner having to write UGLY hacks which utterly DESTROY the beauty and maintainability of the code. I fixed the immediate error that prevented MSIE from loading the javascript in the first place (and Opera, because it mimicked MSIE's parsing method), but as for the actual functionality. USE A BETTER BROWSER. Opera works now too. Sorry for this outbreak. I am angry at that browser and by extension its designers, not at its users. (Edit 2: It's possible it did work on MSIE when I posted this topic. However, when I added automatical construction of result objects from the SOAP response, instead of manually searching for the relevant tags on case-by-case basis, MSIE was no longer able to follow the code.)

But I still have to keep Internet Explorer around for sites that refuse to display anything in any browser except Internet Explorer. I know there was a Wal-Mart music download site like that...

Are you sure Opera cannot fool those sites to believe that it really is IE?

I added a JSON output support to that SOAP API. This allowed to simplify the request parser a bit so that it now works in MSIE too (IE7 tested only).
