Yes :) I think the only place that tables are used is for aligning things like checkboxes, form fields, etc. There is some argument that this is tabular data that can be formatted as a table, but it's probably the losing argument :) If ...Continue Reading

(There are few nested-table issues I'd like to resolve first, and they're *much* easier to look at with things as they are now.) I'll return you to your regular programming before the next beta. ...Continue Reading

Rhetorical question. : No, but I state the changes are going to be made to the program well in advance, and then people get surprised and I tell them, "the changes were announced well in advance". And then people get irate stating that they need the new functionality of a new version, but the old functionality as well. Somehow, I become the bad guy :) > ...Continue Reading

Here are a few other questions I have about the templates before I do my second run-through/review of them: (1) Is a shortname limited to 8 characters, or to 16? "new_list_screen.tmpl" is a bit confused on the topic. (2) All three of the following attribute choices are currently in use: [with no method spec'd, this defaults to "get"] I don't know a thing about this...besides the fact that the W3C recommends/prefers . Is this something I should review/change while I'm in there, o ...Continue Reading

Okay, then. I have loosely related question here: The output code -- by which I mean, the source code you see when you visit a page and click "view source" in your browser -- is hard to read at the best of times, ...Continue Reading

I've now reinstated those functions in rev. 1.11 of admin_js.tmpl...but have marked (commented) them for deletion. Anyone who *does* need 'em in the meantime should *avoid* rev 1.10, and either move up or down ...Continue Reading
