Fix for NewUser / back button problem

Topic:	Fix for NewUser / back button problem
ccandreva Helper Posts: 145 Posted: 12.Jul 2006 - 06:33	I've patched my NewUser/user.php to solve the problem of users being told to hit the back button after an error, but the form not working at that point. Instead of displaying just a static error, the registration form is redisplayed with the error at the top. This seemed like a simple solution, but I couldn't find any discussion of this since Jan. I'm perfectly willing to submit this as a patch, unless there is an obvious reason I've missed why this hasn't been done ? -Chris

I would think redisplaying the form with the error would be preferable in the case that JavaScript wasn't available. With the JavaScript version, I would also think it should be possible to have just a single button that checks, and if everything is ok does the submit. Again, having two buttons seems clunky, but this isn't the forum. In any case, I don't think trying to port the Ajax stuff into 0.76x is worthwhile, so this is a simple fix for anyone who wants it. I would like to know what problem tracedog had.
