Citizen Dog by Mark O'Hare for May 20, 2014

To Ferbis, cat games are boring… a real “Yarn-Fest”….

Why you can’t reply to comments that start with images.When you click on Reply, GoComics creates the reply window which has a few words from the comment that you are replying to. If the comment begins with an image, the reply window may have only part of the image link.Those of you that post images are familiar with <img src="URL">. If the reply window gets <img src=" portion but not the complete link, then a broken link icon is displayed. Meanwhile, the browser keeps looking for the ending quote. The next quote appears within the form tag <form accept-charset="utf-8" class="comment_submission" action="/comments/1155792/" method="post" data-remote="true"> right after accept-charset=. The result is a link that looks like <img src="http://bunnyap...</em></p> <form accept-charset=" utf-8"="" class="comment_submission" action="/comments/1155792/" method="post" data-remote="true"> which Not a valid link and worse has corrupted the form tag, making the SUBMIT button useless.And now over to Susan who will explain what this crap means.

x_Tech’s description, above, tells you exactly what’s happening….but in case it’s too technical….

As he said, when you click “Reply”, the reply window shows you the first few words of the comment to which you’re responding.

However…. if that comment begins with a picture, the characters that it “grabs” to display are the first part of the image link instead of any words.

It doesn’t go far enough to include the ending of the URL. Bingo! It gives you only part of a link to an image, so you see that broken picture icon.

Meanwhile, in the background, your browser doesn’t like broken links…it looks for the next set of quotation marks to try to finish off the URL…

So it wrongly grabs part of the code that was supposed to make the SUBMIT button work….and ruins THAT too.

Clicking on “Submit” then does nothing…. and you can’t post.

Hope that helps.

Someone found a secret cache of catnip. Party on kitties!

Good Morning Citizens of Dog!

No, and I wouldn’t expect you and Arlo to get it, Fergus. Especially if you don’t even like playing fetch.

Good morning, cleo, sugar, Fellow Baby & the rest of the CD gang!

It’s all about fun Fergus.

The cats are playing having a great time – enjoying life. You two dolts are standing behind the fence watching. I think there is a moral here – maybe not.

Good morning Fellow Baby, cleo, sugie and all ye’ gathered here.

Great pictures, but I esp. love the 3 am black lab, (that look reminds me of someone, snicker, see my friend over here to my left!), Wet!

And Stel’s dancing penguins!

I get it. I am not particularly fond of cats; let’s just say, I am tolerant. My sister, and my nieces are quite into cats. If I go to visit, I make sure I took my Allegra!

It won’t be much longer. I’m hoping for a long season.

Good Morning Grog, Dry, Cleo & all CDers out there.

Fergus, the cats are just spinning a good yarn.

I’m getting up at 4:00am.I may be taking a client over to Corvalis tomorrow.

A little vino, the comics and the band COLDPLAY on my headsets! AWESOME! LOVE THEIR NEW HIT MAGIC!

Good night Citizens of Dog!

Cats just want to have fun! Life is a ball of yarn.

Good night Citizens of Dog and yarn spinners. Wait, I think someone said that.

Good night pet lovers all.

Thank you to X_TECH and SUSAN for explaining the trouble posting with photos. I wonder why I never noticed it before?
