Blogger Woes

January 1, 2007 11:41 AM

Why does Blogger let me title a new post and then automatically skip to submit (as though I've pressed the button) whenever I try to type anything in the main body area? It's like all of the keys on my keyboard are mapped to the submit button whenever the cursor is in the main body area. For what it's worth, it will let me copy and paste my posts into the same area.

Is it just Blogger that does this? Have you tried clearing your cache?

Okay...I fixed it. Turns out that it's a known bug. Some versions of Firefox will trigger this on both Blogger and Gmail if you have it set to search as you type. I turned this function off and have had not issues since then. I'm not running the most recent version of Firefox, and have not had the same issue with other machines running newer versions...
