Good thought - you don't need alt-key with the numeric pad. Updated to v1.2!

I really like it that you can still type numbers into the comment. I was worried I wouldn't be able to, but it's no problem. This is neat.

I just noticed that while I have the script downloaded and working. When I go to type in a comment I cannot use the symbols above the top row of numbers on the keyboard. Is there a fix for this?

Its useful, but for me it automatically scrolls down after each image has loaded so I have to scroll back up anyway. Might as well just use the mouse :P

To fix this, just change the bottom of the script from:

{ document.getElementById('COMMENT').focus(); }

to

{ document.getElementById('COMMENT').focus(); scrollTo(null,80); }

This way it will always put your window at the top of the image, and you'll still be able to type comments (though it will move if you start typing).

I have found that { document.getElementById('COMMENT').focus(); scrollTo(null,80); } causes it to scroll just a little bit too far down. It cuts off a couple pixels at the top of the photo. Using 70 instead of 80 fixes this.

This is wonderful. It will save me so much time on voting, giving me more time to make constructive comments. Thank you for creating this.

My version incorporates the auto-scroll features I talked about above (to put the image at the top of your screen).

For numers in the comments here's what it does:
- If the first key you press is a number, it votes
- If the first key you press is not a number, it assumes you're leaving a comment, and starts typing your comment. You must then use ALT-number to vote with the keyboard.

If you install this version of the script, make sure to uninstall any other versions you may have. (Instructions on the page.)

Let me know if you have questions or problems.

Thanks,
-Jeff

Am I the only one having trouble with this option since the change of the voting pages?

Man it took me forever to find this damn thread.

No, it's now broken for me too. The script is interrupting the php voting script in the middle, I think. Possibly the extra "#image" that's giving focus to the image is interfering?

Just as a head's up, I think Langdon is working on coding it for the site. don't know if it is causing the bugs (don't know why it would), but I do know it is something he wanted to try and implement

It will let me vote but it enters my vote into the comment section. So it's not good to me because I have to go back and delete the numeric comment it post because people do not like that type of comment.
:(

I can't wait till langdon codes the keyboard voting system.

Are you using IE or FF?

Delete the last part of the script, after the "//Give focus to the comment text area." part and it shouldn't cause you to enter a comment.

Alright, this should be fixed now, though I've only tried it in Firefox. Get version 1.3.

Scott - I'm not sure what that problem is. Is it Internet Explorer? IE may handle the key events differently... You could also try ALT-Number to vote - that shouldn't type into the box.

Hey that works now...thanks heaps.

NOTE: - I have to add...that I haven't been in your Mods page for a while and I found a couple of cool scripts for DPC. I now have installed them...and they are awesome...thanks heaps Jeff.
