LGF Ajax Comment Preview
We have a very cool enhancement to announce: our comment preview feature, that lets you see what a comment will look like with all your formatting before you post it, is now driven by Ajax.
For years, when you clicked the ‘preview’ button, you were taken to a separate page. Now, clicking the button will cause a preview of your comment to display just underneath the comment posting form. Using Ajax, I’m able to call a PHP module on our server that formats, filters, and transmogrifies the comment, rendering it exactly as it will appear when posted.
Again we see that dual Ajax benefit—faster for you to see a preview, and less bandwidth-intensive for our server. Stinky thanks you, the hamsters thank me, and I thank myself for coding it.
Important! You should use your browser’s ‘Reload’ button to reload the page now, so that your browser is using the latest versions of all the code.
