Hi, > 1) It looks very cool, much nicer than the existing mod_mbox UI.
Thanks, that was the main goal of httpd-mbox-if, I'm happy to hear that people find the new version nice and good-looking. > 2) The way you let the user page through different parts of a given > month is easy to miss. It took me a while to notice that the "1 2 3 > 4" links were up at the top. Adding "next" and "prev" links at the > top and bottom would solve that problem. I've added Previous and Next links to the page selector. How is it ? > 3) In the AJAX UI visiting a link doesn't result in it being marked > as "visited" in the same way that visiting a link in the non-AJAX UI > does.

I've already took a look to this problem, and I don't think we can solve them. Switching a link (a <a> markup) to the Css meta-class :visited does not seem to be possible in Javascript. Furthermore, changing link's color could be good, but they will disappear as soon as you reload the AJAX browsing interface ... > 4) The Back button is "broken" in the AJAX view, but you probably > already knew that.

As you've said, there's not much we can do here. > 5) If you know that the AJAX view only works in Gecko based browsers > do you plan on sniffing the browser type and redirecting to the > non-AJAX view in that case?

I'll try to make the AJAX view work on as many browser as possible. I'd like it to work on Konqueror and Opera. The IE problem does not seem to be fixable. I think I'm going to put a link into the Loading... box to the "flat" version, so if the browser get stuck to the loading part, the user can fall back into flat mode. I'm also working on XHTML validation. Thanks a lot for your comments, - Sam -- Maxime Petazzoni (http://www.bulix.org) -- gone crazy, back soon. leave message.
