As the person who suggested this concept, I have to admit I've yet to think of a good way around this issue. 
Preventing "branching" is all very well, but sometimes it is relivent to have a branch (although I usually try to
avoid them).  Unless elog scans every possible branch to find where the latest entry, I cannot think of a
foolproof, practical scheme.

I fixed that in revision 2269. So now elog scans a complete branch and searches for the last entry in the branch. 
You can check again the branch above on the forum, should work now.

I don't think that this is possible.

And it is not clear to me, how you would like it to work: I often use HTML tables in preset text, where the user should fill out columns (e.g. for checklists). I wouldn't want the tables just to append when switching to another checklist. You could rather add a comment to the Type field, explaining that the text field will be overwritten when you change the type.

The Firefox addon Lazarus does store whatever you've typed in an HTML form: at least you could then recover what you've typed.

Cheers, Andreas

thanks Andres for your response!

I was thinking that it cannot be possible, but , I had to try to ask in the forum.

for my question, I think that this could be left on user responsibility to take care about it, and add a comment the the text fied, explaining that will be erased the html text on change the text field.

Thanks four your time.

Additional info:

"Time format = %Y" results in "2015" being pasted into the edit window when I hit the "time stamp" button.

"Time format = %m/%Y" results in the string "06/2015"

"TIme format = %m/%d/%Y" results in the string "06/04"

"Time format = %m/%d %H" results in the string "06/04 "

Just upload one attachment at a time by hitting the "Upload" button, your 
message text stays there. Once you are finished, hit "Submit". Sorry, I 
thought this would be obvious, since most providers use this for their mail 
web interface.

No need to say sorry.  It is probably obvious to pretty much everyone.  -- It
the story of my life.

Thanks

I added this possibility to the source code (->CVS), although it's not clear 
to me how this should work for you. If you don't have access to the server 
where elogd is running, how should elogd then redirect you to somewhere else?
