It's a FAQ. ;-) I should make an entry for this in the CLD FAQ. Here is the short explanation: It's because of my Ajax like style Framework. I maintain a bi-directional communication with the server which is polled every 2 or 3 seconds. Normally this should not be visible for the user. This Framework was intended for complex collaborative intranet web applications on high speed networks so it's overkill for the CLD. I will work on this in the future like I did for the user friendly URI. > The HTML generated is 4.0 transitional, using tables for layout.

Pierre-François Gomez made a much better version of the HTML but it need to be tested to be sure that it works with the major browsers before I can switch to it and it's out of sync now. > The JavaScript generated is obfuscated (e.g. names like function > f876454). Is there a reason for that? And can it be (easily) fixed? No real reason, it was automatically generated a long time ago so it was some kind of gensym IIRC. > Would it be better to not use JavaScript at all?

And for now I need it for the bi-directional stuff. Marc _______________________________________________ Gardeners mailing list [email protected] http://www.lispniks.com/mailman/listinfo/gardeners
