- I've just spent a couple of hours testing out the latest
- version, and I now have a much better list of what does and does not
- work with forms.
-
- First: Cool new things
- Hotlist - really nice method for handling it. I approve - allowing
- it to be hierarchical, and to move items up and down
- would be nice.
- View Source window being able to stay up and follow along with the
- browser. Has this always worked.
- Buttons - cool (would be nice if one had a choice of buttons or
- "old style" text.
- More Boing - nice.
- Form elt positions almost correct!
-
- Good work guys!!!
-
- Any chance of a "Copy URL to clipboard" menu item?
- the "Reload" button seems to be ignored.
- (and version numbers are not being reset before upload, which
- would help (i.e. this version 14.1005 thinks it is 14.995))
-
- Re forms:
- I went through the examples in:
- http://www.ncsa.uiuc.edu/SDG/Software/Mosaic/Docs/fill-out-forms/overview.ht
- ml
-
- Here are my notes:
-
- 1) Scrolling still doesn't have any effect (as noted by stefan)
- 2) It looks as if escaping of special chars "%$&" etc isn't
- done. Needs checking.
- 4) Checkboxes do not have the right value sent. They get random
- garbage.
- 5) When there is a single text entry field on a form, hitting
- return is supposed to submit the form (this is really
- stupid). This doesn't happen. If you do this (you have to for
- ISINDEX, anyway) make sure that it only happens if there are
- not, e.g. checkboxes on the form along with the text entry.
- 10) *IMPORTANT* forms using method=GET (the default, unless POST is
- specified) don't work at all. Garbage is submitted.
-
- 11) Clicking on delayed images to load them messes up gadget
- positions. Some (all?) images seem to be delayed even when
- delayed loading is switched off.
- 12) Looks like Stefan forgot to add in a text gadget at ISINDEX
- after taking away the UI elt. See note 5) too.
-
-
- 3) Form elt positions are a few pixels higher than (I think) they
- should be. It looks as if they are based at the text base line. I
- think the text in them should be aligned with the text baseline (i.e
- the text gadgets should be based at textbase + border width or something.
- 6) When you "go back" to a filled out form, the contents should be
- preserved. They aren't.
- 7) Reset buttons don't work (should set form to defaults)
- 8) Neither do "clear" buttons.
- 9) Multiple line text elements don't let you type in them. Also,
- the [E] button tries to start the wrong program (or has the wrong
- path, or something) on my machine. Needs to have some whay to
- configure the action of the E button in mosaic prefs.
-
-
-
-
- That's it. If these are fixed, we'll be almost ready for release.
- (need to integrate the AS225 stuff, and get some beta test done).
