Forum:Data entry without using Form:Person

Since March 2010 our main person-page form for data entry has been misbehaving with most common browsers except Firefox.

In order to add person pages or add substantial amounts of data (as distinct from narrative) to an existing page, people not using Firefox may do one of the following:
 * 1) Install Firefox. (It's free and respectable.)
 * 2) Do an old-fashioned edit where lots of data will need to be later moved into standard templates for inclusion in our cleverly-designed systems for searching and for display of ancestry and descent tables.
 * 3) Use a work-around, in the shape of a copy-and-paste model where you can enter data in pre-ordained spaces that will be part of the above-mentioned clever systems without further work - very like what we used to do with info pages.

Try this simple version, taken straight from Demo Person. You really want a blank version, so someone can copy this one down below and delete everything after each equals sign. (People who have been using their own may feel inspired to do that, and/or add helpful comments, for the benefit of less experienced users. Thanks to Robin Patterson (Talk) 03:51, June 27, 2010 (UTC)
