[*] List Item Doesn't Work

[AYColumbia]

I tried to use the editor's [*] bullet feature but it doesn't work. It only adds the open tag and not the close tag. It also sometimes puts the tag at the beginning of the selected text or at the end. I noticed that the [*] does NOT automatically add the

• tag since the bullet item won't work by itself, i.e., must surround a line that is inside a list block, e.g.,
• item 1
I'm currently on Windows 8 Enterprise using IE version 10.0.9200.16384. This happens in both native and compatibility mode. The other features, i.e., Quote, Code, List, Img and URL work just fine.

It does appear to work:

• item 1

• item 2

Code: Select all

[list][*]item 1[/list]
[list][*]item 2[/list]

• Entry 1
• Entry 2

Code: Select all

[list] [*]Entry 1 [*]Entry 2 [/list]

There's no need to close the * tag:

I'm actually talking about the editor's button. It doesn't work consistently while the others I mention do. I'm not talking about the actual BBCode as it works fine as you said. I think it's a browser issue with IE 10 since I'm under Windows 8.

Would it be alright to point to this forum as an example of the issue?

Microsoft is welcome to look at our forum.

As far as I know, however, when you're posting in a forum that uses phpBB, it's the phpBB software that interprets [*] as the editors bullet symbol, not Microsoft.

Is the phpBB software capable of setting meta tags? Any chance you can try adding the following meta tag to help IE 10 users with better compatibility mode for this site? I think this would help make the advanced editor features work better with IE10.

Code: Select all

<meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=EmulateIE8"/>

When I was using IE9 under Windows 7, I didn't have any issues. Also, if the tag is not specified, IE10 uses IE7 standards in Compatibility Mode.

The best source for detailed information about the latest version of phpBB is https://www.phpbb.com/. We just use the software. We're currently running PHP Version 5.2.9 with a couple of minor modifications.
