Weird comment form behavior in IE
Hello,
I am running 4.0.6 and the comment system is working great — in all browsers except IE 6 (haven’t tested in 7 yet).
The problem is that when I click the “Preview” button below the comment form, it does not trigger the anchor link. Basically, nothing happens. Whatever linking behavior that is generated by…:
<txp:comment_preview />
<txp:comment_submit />
…is not working in IE.
Any ideas? Thanks. This is my first TXP project, and I love it, btw.

Re: Weird comment form behavior in IE
Thanks for your help, Mary. Again, my issue is that in IE 6, nothing happens when the user clicks on the comments preview button. The anchor link simply doesn’t activate. The site is live. Here is a sample permalink page.
Here is a tag trace:

Re: Weird comment form behavior in IE
Jukka is correct. Textpattern creates the opening/closing form tags for you, and you’ve added your own to the form. Remove them and you should be fine. :)

Much appreciated. I will muck around with it.

Re: Weird comment form behavior in IE
Hmm. I took out my custom form, pasted my code from my custom-made form into the default comment_form, and took out the call to the custom form from <txp:comments_form />. No luck. In IE 6 (and ONLY in IE 6) clicking the “Preview” button will not trigger the comments preview section. Here is my comment form code:
<h3>Leave your comment:</h3>
<p>On-topic, constructive, and well-meaning comments are welcome.</p>
<txp:if_comments_preview>
<div id="cpreview">
<p class="preview">This is only a preview. Please press the "Submit" button below before exiting.</p>
<txp:comments_preview />
</div>
</txp:if_comments_preview>
<txp:if_comments_error>
<txp:comments_error break="li" wraptag="ul" />
</txp:if_comments_error>
<form>
<fieldset>
<label for="name">Name (required)</label>
<txp:comment_name_input />
<br />
<label for="email"><txp:text item="comment_email" /></label>
<txp:comment_email_input />
<br />
<label for="web">http://</label>
<txp:comment_web_input />
<br />
</fieldset>
<fieldset>
<label for="message">Your message (required)</label>
<span class="textile-only">(No HTML, <a href="http://textism.com/tools/textile/">Textile</a> only please.)</span>
<txp:comment_message_input />
</fieldset>
</form>
<div class="andfinally">
<txp:comment_remember />
<txp:comment_preview />
<txp:comment_submit />
</div>Thanks.

Re: Weird comment form behavior in IE
You still have two form elements. The TXP form, comment_form, is automatically wrapped in a form.

Got it! Thanks so much! It works now. IE just wasn’t being lazy enough for my bad code. Cheers.
