Viewing the potential live output when editing a question or answer.

+2
−0

I have just raised a Q and A but when editing the answer (that involves a picture) there is no "live" version of the potentially finished post and this will prove to be a problem when making a complex answer especially if MathJax/Latex is used. SE.EE does support this feature and I think it's vital.

Also, there is no facility to renumber the bullet points. If you look in my answer, there are two bullet points names "1".

This is what I see when editing an answer: -

__ Well I tried to embed an image by pressing the picture button but I got javascript:void() in the bottom left corner. Yet I know java is enabled because I've just used a web page that uses it and I should know because it's one of my own web pages __

Java isn't JavaScript :)

Reproduced. The issue seems to be specifically when editing an answer, and it's not about images specifically: the live preview for the answer doesn't show up. It does when posting an answer, so this is an edit-specific problem.

@Monica - yes, the upload image thing has been fixed by ArtOfCode. See my bottom answer that explains a work around /bodge fix for seeing the edit preview screen.
