Hi Taco,
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 :)
sure.
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.
i had that as a start, however, there is nothing like a symbolic color; ans so i would end up with some 20 nearly identical css styles that then had to be downloaded; you're right about the trafic; once the site goes life, i'll make the style more compacts (less spacy)
- 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.
ok, i made the font a bit smaller now; i tested on a high res screen; i didn't want too wide lines, but i found out that setting max-width: 60em works quite well (prevents too wide lines on a 1600x1200 full screen) i'm thinking about an article for the maps about css versus tex -) interestingly th eeasierst thing, i.e. getting the page dimensions right, is the one bugged most; safari [kde based] is the worst the _parameter: ... is needed for internet explorer [igmored by rest]
- 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.
ok, will check; i generate three sets: web pages, interfaces, login things and they need to be moved to different places; i need to figure that out -)
- 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.
maybe a roll over, but that is javascript; maybe i get a brainwave because it indeed is a strange animal (but i like the showcase); a similar inconsistency is in the documentations first entry (because there i want to default to the html based collection first)
- 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?
ah ... i think that is doable; nice challenge; goes on the todo list as well btw, one strange thing i ran into is that sometimes position() increments by 2 instead of 1
- Fianlly, all pages have the title "Generated page", which is correct but somewhat pointless.
-) yeah, i need to pass the title around [one of the cases where the lack of global vars messes up xslt] ; i've put it on the todo list too can you mirror this ok? (there is a wget.txt file as well) Hans ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | fax: 038 477 53 74 | www.pragma-ade.com | www.pragma-pod.nl -----------------------------------------------------------------
