Hi Hans,
I just went there and had a look around. I like the look of
the new site, but of course I have comments. Then again, I assume
that is why it was on dev-context in the first place :)
Here we go:
- Assuming most of the CSS is 'frozen', you could move that into
a separate style.css file and linking to that. It will save you
on traffic and it makes it easier to use a different CSS file
for IE (if desired). The best 'real' solution for IE and older
browsers would (no doubt) be to use frames.
- In my browser (a galeon based on mozilla 1.4), the main download
window and the 'documents and examples' window force a
horizontal scrollbar to appear (the table is wider than it's
allocated space). Will check with a newer browser on monday,
but the problem will probably remain as long as there are
table tags. 'position: absolute' and html tables do not blend
well, is my experience.
- The 'pod' login page is a bit different from the rest, I assume
that is on purpose, but I thought I'd better ask j.i.k.
- it would be nice if it was clear from the outset that the
'showcase' is a pdf file. Or perhaps make it pop up a window
of it's own? It destroys the layout which is a pity.
- the 'next-previous' buttons give no visual indication of how
'large' the loop is nor on what page of the loop you are,
and I miss that. Perhaps a color-bar as in some of the s-pre
styles?
- Fianlly, all pages have the title "Generated page", which is
correct but somewhat pointless.
Greetings and good luck,
Taco

Hi,
At http://www.pragma-ade.com:8069 you can find a preview of the new pragma web site. It works ok with firefox, kind of ok with opera, ok at the cost of some mess with internet explorer, not optimal with safari but ...
... the nice thing is that i now generate the whole lot from a small set of xml documents using xslt, so that i can more easily maintain the site + links; the next/previous buttons work as in pdf docs -)
if you click the 'exa' link, you will get a few interfaces
currently it runs on our old web server [some 500 mhz celeron machine]; in a couple of week it will run on one of our new web servers (2.2 gig 64 bit opterons)
i cross my fingers that the webrick based http server (ruby) can handle things (i'll run the webpages on apache as well)
Hans
