Minefield/Firefox + Ebay problem


Recommended Posts

In Minefield, I went to Ebay to sell something. Right away I noticed that the area where you type in a description was messed up.

The options to alter the font, and the tabs marked "Standard" and "HTML", were all not present. I typed in a description anyway. When I previewed my item, I saw that the description text was a "wall of text" and had no paragraphs where I made them.

Ie7 does not suffer from this problem. I used it to fix up the wall of text. When I went back into Minefield to check and revise, I noticed that the text in the "write a description" area had HTML text (a P inside <> marks for example).

Is there anyway to fix this text problem with Minefield? I'd like my descriptive text to not be a wall in future.

It's not released for a reason. :)

Report it as a broken webpage?

Facebook has had a lot of weird text issues, and sending messages is a little lame when the auto sizable box doesn't auto-resize and doesn't allow for scroll bars. The latest trunk appears to have fixed the text issues, but not the textarea problems. It'll be fixed.

No problem. I'll keep using it and wait.

I've found a temporary solution that gets the text looking the way I want. The "split" design in Frontpage 2003 lets people see both Standard and HTML at the same time. I just type in my Ebay item's description, snag the HTML, paste it into the Ebay description text area, and presto. Been verified to work. :-)
