Jump to SurveyAlthough there is obviously more than one way to cook broccoli...
Jump to SurveyI would like it if I didn't have to use HTML tags to do things like line/paragraph breaks and links. Especially links. I haven't done any hypertext in my surveys/comments because, frankly, I'm scared of screwing it up and messing up the page. But there were a few times I would have liked to use it; like the Beatles album survey...I wanted to include links to the All-Music guide for each album, but I got scared...

*I've only today realized that the line/paragraph break issue has already been addressed! Shows you what I know  * wink *

*bill: I've been thinking about it, and frankly I have no idea how you'd make links easier either. In a "perfect GUI" scenario, I guess you could highlight a piece of text, get a context menu on it, select "Link", and a dialog box would pop up allowing you to enter the URL. How hellish would that be to code?!? I suppose I could go looking for it, but is the HTML for links documented in the Help section somewhere? As for the autolinking thing, I think it's cool until someone writes a sentence like "In reality, were a duck to evolve seven breathing gills on its bill, this would lead the rather gilly duck to almost certain doom." This is admittedly a very unlikely sentence.

*bill: Go with your first instinct. It's funny, and it's worth it.

*bill: Whoa! Why do I have a bunch of freaky stuff at the bottom of this page? It seems to be data about me; my login, password, the numbers of the surveys I've created, my email address, my date of birth, my comment on the Cuba survey...and now I just saved changes and it went away...weird! And now it's back again! AAAhhh! I'm scared...
