Code-Highlighting Error?

[King Serperior]

Okay, this is something I've noticed a couple of days ago and I can't seem to figure out what the problem is:

Example Code

Code Select Expand


[float=left][img height=300 padding=5]IMG URL HERE[/img][/float]
[b]Name:[/b]  [url=CHARACTER SHEET LINK HERE]INSERT NAME[/url]
[b]Current Dress:[/b]  [i]What is the character currently wearing?[/i]
[b]Arms:[/b]  [i]Weapons on person[/i]
[b]Other:[/b]  [i]Other details of note.[/i]
[hr]


I can create a code for character sheets and the like just fine, but my problem stems from my sudden inability to highlight the code when pressing the 'Select' option right beside the uppermost 'code.'

I used to be able to simply click 'select' and the entire code was highlight for easy copy & paste.  Now, when I click on the code, nothing happens.  I have to manually highlight the entire thing from top to bottom in order to get everything.

Is anyone else having this problem?

Name:  INSERT NAME
Current Dress:  What is the character currently wearing?
Arms:  Weapons on person
Other:  Other details of note.



Hummm the select link/button whatever it is works fine for me O.o

Just noticed that when I hover the cursor over the '[select]' button, there's a little note in the bottom left corner of my screen that says:

javascript:void(0);

^ NO clue what that means though.  :/

It didn't work for me either.  What browsers are people using?

[Ket]

It doesn't work for me. I use Chrome.

[RampantDesires]

.. it does work for me, 'm on Chrome.  *is super unhelpful*

[RedPhoenix]

Yeah works just fine on Chrome.

I'm using Firefox.

I know there was an update recently, and Firefox has gone twitchy with supporting Java plugins, which could be another factor (based on your hovering.)

[King Serperior]

True, that might be the case.  I mean, I can still just copy it manually if I need to, but it's just odd that it was working up until a few days ago.

I'm on firefox and it works for me...

Works fine for me in Firefox and Chrome. It's a pretty basic JS function.

If you have JS restricted/hampered for some reason, it won't work, however. Check you extensions?

[King Serperior]

The only extension I have is Adblock Plus for Firefox.

AdBlockPlus, which is disabled for E
Avira
Copy Link Address
Lazarus
Tampermonkey
Tineye reverse image search

[Vekseid]

By check I mean disable them and enable one by one. >_>

Also, switch out Adblock for Ublock Origin.

[Ket]

I listed them in case you knew if maybe a particular one could be the problem. I will fidget with them.

eta: Copy Link Address is the issue on my end. It's a helper tool I use for work, along with AHKs, so I'll just have to remember to use hotkeys to copy code and not get all frustrated because it deselects. (needs an entire two more rows on her keyboard just for AHKs)

[Oniya]

Is it likely that AdBlock would cause this problem, through some sort of update?  I only ask because it seems to be the only thing that all three of us share.  I also use Lazarus, but King doesn't.  I'd been poking at Ublock but hadn't made the switch-over yet.

Actually, never mind - I don't see AdBlock on my extensions any more.

I also use Lazarus and have been using it for a little over a year now.  However, Lazarus never gave me problems before, so I doubt that is it.  :/

I just installed the most recent Firefox update today.  Prior to this, the 'select' for code was working fine.  Now it's not.

That's the only change I have made ... and I expect that Firefox will eventually fix in another update, but just thought I'd add that to the mix. :-)
