Buttons,Textfields,and drop down lists

Postby SickGerm » Wed May 18, 2005 11:34 pm

I think programming should change note viewing so instead of clicking the back button on your browser when your done looking at a note you have to click a back button in cantr the back button should also save any changes to the note so buttons textfields and dropdown lists can be used this would make for nicer looking order forms easier voting systems/ballots and easy to understand registration forms

Dude.
It's called punctuation. Learn it. Use it.

Edited: Nick is it really neccisary for you to critisize everyone? I can understand if everyonce in a while you come home from the toothpaste factory and your in a bad mood but it seems everytime i see you talk on the forum you are either shooting down someone's idea or finding someway to critisize someone i doubt anyone really wants you around to state the obvious or sit there and have a lesson in english with you

Well, my man, people used to be able to use all the stuff like with the Windows writting programs and all that, but people continually made mistakes, crashing things and causing terrible problems for everyone. It's been tried, and doesn't work. It would be nice, I agree, but it's not going to happen.

And I have to say, I'll take notes shifted to the left over no game at all any day.

Sickgerm, Nick is right. Especially in char it bugs me to read. I know the english game is a second language to some, but a few of my chars are really starting to neglect people who don't use correct spelling and grammar....I can only hope one or two get the power to outlaw illiteracy.

<======= is tempted to make a character who talks like a monkey with tourettes crossed with vanilla ice and hunt down Nick and shoelace's characters to make "special friends" with, but then is reminded why he trys to avoid the forums...

Sickgerm, your post is really hard to understand without the punctuation, so please use it. We like it if you make things as clear as you can. :)

This ain't about punctuation - make a new suggestion thread if you think forum users need to pass some kind of grammar/spelling/literacy test (and I'd agree...)

As for the drop down lists and stuff, that'd be wierd. When you fill out an order form or questionnaire in RL - do you get nice drop down menus? No, you do as you do in Cantr - write in the blank spaces...

This topic is senseless, it is getting deragatory, and it's being locked.
