Hi Greg,
Ok, sorry for not having run it before.

I've just run it on my local trunk, but I don't see any file changed
(commit tell me that there is nothing to update), is it right ?



In the page description "This page contains a collection of Pivot
demos. All demos require Java 6 or greater." could be useful to write
that some Web Start applications runs the signed version because they
needs full permissions to access remote sites or local storage, ok ?
The right version in English for this is certainly not written by me,
so be free to change it ...

Ok, ok ... but instead of "simple", why not also "clear" and if
possible "looks good", keeping all as simple as possible ?
For example, I'd add an horizontal divider (HR tag) between demos, to
separated them a little.
And another idea, many users don't like Applets, so why not write that
the default link run the demo as an Applet (link tooltip) ? And why
not remove the link from demo title, and create a "Detail" or "More
Info" link under the demo description (and at its left other
link/buttons) ?
And maybe add the same link also to the image (when present) ?


Only for the "Kitchen Sink" I'm thinking to add 3 links for Web Start
execution (or buttons ? many sites executing Web Start applications
use the standard button image to do this), so at least should be
better to explain (a little) what does any link (or could be the
tooltip of the link/button), or for example why we have to run the
signed version and require the all-permission on the client.

For others, I think to add only 1 Web Start link/button, the default
version ... but some of them probably needs the signed version, so at
least I think it's better to write in the link (or in its tooltip).

Then, at right to images (when present) there is a lot of free
(unused) space, so what do you think on put there the other
links/buttons ?

Last, some demos can run only as Applets (DOM or Javascript
interaction) ... but since Java 6 Update 10 Applets can run also with
a Web Start extension, enabling them to some features (JavaFX uses
this approach by default for Applets if i remember well). So here i
could try to add this, what do you think ?

Comments (from Greg and from others) ?

Excuse me for all this points to discuss, but I've very little time,
and doing the same thing many times is a sin.


Bye,
Sandro
