Hello Kay,
first of all I'm sorry for my late reply. I think I've overseen your
mail. :-(
When opening both webpages in Firefox (Windows and Solaris) I get the
mentioned 3.2.1 dwnload files. But this doesn't work in IE. On
"http://download.openoffice.org/test/index_k.html"; there is just a small
green line instead of the green box.
And on "http://www.openoffice.org/index_new.html"; the download area
isn't displayed when extending via the double arrow.
For both errors here the details when double clicking on the warning
symbol in the status bar:

Hello Kay,
so you don't mean the JS stuff that is different but he HTML coding,
right? Of course it could be changed in a way that only one styling is
used on both webpages or the www... part is linking to download...
But honesty, from the perspective of a normal user I like the very easy
way to download the pre-guessed build from the www... part without to
digging deeper on the website or to choose something on the "other.html"
webpage.
I don't know if we want to loose this nice piece of comfort for the
user. What do other people think of this?
OK--I MAY have come up with a solution. The main page has quite a bit
different/more styling than the download.openoffice.org page, but I may
have arrived at a solution of sorts. At least we could maintain coding
(for the actual DL button) in only one place...this eing said I have
somehow "lsot" of the stling for the interal DL button on the home page
(but perhpas when you see what it is -- the options -- you might not
object too much).
I took out MOST of the nittering alerts as well.

Hello Kay,
I know the scripting on both pages a bit, however, not in that detail
that I would say, hey, yes they are different.
Please can you describe in some short sentences the differences of both
systems? Would it be possible to bring them together?
OK, here is my rather short, overview of the differences.
It seems both areas are basically generating similar (maybe exact)
internal green DL box stuff...the big green buttons. The styles applied
to these are different however due to their locations -- i.e. home page
vs download page.
It seems conceivable to construct ONE set of constructs for the button
itself through function calls, and mess around with how to do the
styling depending on what page we're on.
This would eliminate the duplication in coding for what is happening on
both pages I think.
In summary, maybe a way to do this an eliminate the duplication. I will
work along these lines....and hopefully we can do this.
Thanks
Marcus

However, I would like to re-open the discussion about this due to
maintenance issues of these two areas.
I am proposing that the download "button" on the home page return to
just being a button that gets the user to
download.openoffice.org/index.html
