Live Comment Preview

Phil just posted a great blurb about how he added live comment previewing to his website, so I promptly stole borrowed his code and added it to mine.  To see it in action, start typing a comment (supports basic HTML tags) and watch the ooey gooey characters start to flow by in the Live Preview textbox!  Implementation time?  Less than 10 minutes.

Wow that is <strong>cool</strong>!  That <em>Phil</em> guy must be the coolest and most handsomest cat in town. ;)

The next step is having a default markup based means to displaying which tags are allowed.

Dammit, wtf?  I'm pretty sure CS allows HTML tags in comments, but apparently I'm wrong...either that or I have no idea what I'm doing ;-).

Hmm...whatever you do, don't comment out the call to CSComponents.Formatter.SafeFeedBack : text = Globals.HtmlEncode(text); (obv this call Html encodes the comment): I tested this out...it works, but I received 150 comment spams within 60 seconds of removing this method call.  Yes, 150.  WITHIN 60 SECONDS!

MUST you keep raising the CS 2.0 bar?  The damn thing's getting really heavy!

Heh.  Nice!  I'll be flattering you with imitation on this mod at some point, to be sure.

btw, Is CoComment posting still being supported with this mod?  I'm not seeing it, and that's something else I needed to steal from you in CS 2.0. :-)

Let's try that again.

Not yet...patience!  Actually, I'm the impatient one here.  The HtmlScrubber is stripping all markup out of comments.  Working on a fix, should have it ready by tonight.  To quote Dave Burke:  "That html scrubber is one nasty dude. I've dealt with him before."

Indeed.

Alrighty, I've pushed a change out, let's see if this puppy works.  Strong is always nice, so is underlining.  Strikethrough?  Ok, not that sophisticated yet.

The real kicker...linebreaks?  What    about    spaces?

Ready, and submit.

Hey, that was a great line about html scrubber.  Are you sure I said that???  Yeah, I remember and am flattered by the quote.  So did you yank coComment, did this mod break it, or what???  I know this thread isn't showing up in my CoComment conversations.  Thanks!
