Enter = post comment

I think, since when you hit enter when your doing a comment on scratch, it only does a space it doesn't go a line down, that enter should be the same button for "add". I think this because the enter button really has no cause, seeming as it only does a space JUST like the spacebar. This is meant for scratch comments, not forums (punbb).

The reason it doesn't do a line down is because HTML thinks it is just a space. And the only way 'enter' can mean post is by somehow changing the browser. Because a text box is meant to have multiple lines.

But the HTML code isnt like the forums which is punbb, its scratch. So if scratch could produce a code, it would work.

Re: Enter = post comment

Well in HTML

Code:

 <br>

produces a line down. See if it works -

~~~

Well the comments read everything as text so when I typed in "test <br> test 2" it literally showed that (instead of
test
test 2)

The forum does not use the same code as the comments.

Re: Enter = post comment

Since people expect text blocks to accept <return> or <enter> keys, it would result in a lot of surprised people if the key suddenly submitted their comments before they expected it.

Re: Enter = post comment

I think you misunderstood me. The browser immediatley believes that with a text box, if you press 'enter' then it gives a line down. If Scratch were to use one-line text areas, (produced with a different code), then you could make it be enter to submit. So if you want to blame it on anyone, blame it on the people who made y0our browser.

Re: Enter = post comment

it would be good 'cause scratch autoly does next-lines, you can't do manually or womanually


There are 10 types of people in this world: Those who understand trinary, those who don't, and those who think this is the same old signature.
