    • Active Social Version: 1.9.1
    • DotNetNuke Version: 5.6.0
    Something that is fairly annoying is using the Alt-Tab feature (on my mac, not sure about windows) after entering text into the textbox above "Save Link". When i return to that screen (via Alt-Tab) all my text is gone. I am an avid copy/paster to protect my efforts but i don't normally think of it while Alt-Tabbing, and recently lost quite a nice bit of typing.   drew..

    this would seem to be an easy one to test and at least confirm ;)

    This behavior is due to a small bit of javascript that clears the contents of the text area when it gains focus. This includes bringing the browser window into focus.

    1. Navigate to the DesktopModules/ActiveSocial/config/templates/other directory
    2. Find JournalTools.ascx
    3. Open the template it an html editor or notepad.
    4. Go to line 47, change this attribute:

    onfocus="this.value='';"

    to this:

    onfocus="if (this.value=='[RESX:OptionalComment]') this.value='';"

    5. Save the file.
    6. Go to DNN Host Settings and restart the application.

    I will make a suggestion to the developers that this is changed in the default template.

    Thank you Ben.. this will be a valuable augmentation for those of us who are Alt-Tab-happy ;)
