so I'll be honest please note this is not "personal" or "malicious".. My interests are in flightgear and thanks to Curt our BDFL. so Curt.. I cant code c++ but its one of your talents.. I can code CSS/html easily, but cant code c++ properly.. yet. Your a crap webcoder as I am a crap c++ coder. * the site needs to be modernized.. Just the markup and CSS would be 100% improvement. ie NO javascript. * We cant Incrementally improve the site. That is daft idea within the way you are coding. In c++ terms you are creating a class definition in each file instead of creating a header. In HTML its called a template. * some templating engine will be required upon machine with a scripting lang eg python or php * the pages = end points. need to be agnostic. I dont want /mpstatus.shtml or mpstatus.php or mpstatus.py. I want /mpstatus/ so end user does not know whats behind. eg mpstatus.asp * your html markup is wrong, it fails desperately and miserably. My 11 year olde nephew uses validation. You have to respect the change to CSS. And that is a "dark art" also to some respects until a master. but you fail miserably. * However its noted that using javascript templates would be cool 90% last century, now 1% rating. * "just delegate it", then your problem will be shouting at me or others to fix things instead of having to do it yourself. Indeed some of the stuff need to be automated more. * Curt, once its converted to CSS, you should be having more fun playing with "design concepts"... * You need to be more of the "Dictator" in the BDFL; like an empror, go to bed, and wake up with things done... but keep you clothes on ;-)) * I dont want to be 100% in control either. I want an environment where its "maintained" by a few babysitters and developers. Guess the whole ball is in your court. so pick it up the ball and, write "python" or "php" on it then hit it back .. hard.. like bjorn borjk.. sorry curt rant ends Pete ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Download Intel® Parallel Studio Eval Try the new software tools for yourself.
