IE: Not able to display questions in editor about editor

[christianp]

Should work now.

Except I deleted a variable in Bill2 on which another variable depended in IE. Using Test Run I expected an error message saying the variable was undefined. Instead it assumed that it was still the same question without the variable deleted i.e. the new version was not saved. No message about saving. Chrome was OK - reported the error

[christianp]

Internet Explorer was caching the responses to the AJAX request, so didn't send repeat requests to the server to regenerate the preview. Should be fixed now.

[BillFoster]

Now a variation on this. If you edit a question in IE and run then it runs the previous unedited version. Run again and it runs the edited version, so always one behind the edit. Chrome is OK.

[christianp]

That's the same problem, but it shouldn't still be happening. Are you waiting for the edit to be saved? A notification appears at the top of the page.

[BillFoster]

More subtle than I thought! If you edit the definition of a variable, then this is not saved then and there. In contrast to the content areas which are saved on edit. But when you test run after the variable edit it is then saved belatedly - too late to change the outcome of the run.

[christianp]

Variable definitions only trigger a change/save when the input box loses focus. I can change this if you want, but it might be distracting with the value previews constantly changing as you type.

[BillFoster]

Moot point and only occurs with IE I assume - but we should have Chrome and IE (as well as FireFox) doing the same thing IMO. Could we look at saving without losing focus to compare?

[BillFoster]

Just realised that Chrome does exactly the same as IE - when a variable definition is changed. So ignore this comment! Still we could look at changing this if at all possible.
