My PAW site

2004-03-04 Thread David Mann
Hi all,

After putting my last couple of PAW images up, I decided to set up a 
script-based site to make it easier to add pictures.  I'm getting lazy 
and editing HTML is boring :)

I'd appreciate it if a couple of people could take a look at the new 
pages to make sure they work for you.  Here's a direct link to one of 
them:

http://www.digistar.com/~dmann/cgi-bin/paw.cgi?date=26-Feb-2004

Down the bottom of the page is a link to the PAW index.  Or you can 
navigate there from my homepage (URL below).

Problems I already know about:
1) IE5 seems to render the title strip right across the page (probably 
a technical fault on my part),
2) The title wraps if its too long (design fault on my part).

Cheers,

- Dave

It works perfectly, Dave. I love the propeller effect... At first, I thought
there were something falling off the plane...

David,

It works perfectly and looks great to me on IE6 at 1024 x 768 pixels and
text size = larger.  I like your choice of a grey field to display photos
on.

regards,
Anthony Farr

Works fine with IE 5.5 and Firebird.

I glanced at the source code. Your scripting software seems to produce very 
clean code. What are you using?

Long story...

I couple of years ago I wanted to build a photo database, and I also 
wanted to learn about cgi-bin programming.  So I married the two ideas: 
I wrote my own cgi-bin database from scratch, for the purpose of 
creating a searchable online photo library.

The executable itself doesn't generate the HTML: that comes from a 
script file.  The cgi-bin program just fills in the fields.  In fact, 
the scripting is the only thing I actually like about my database.  
It's extremely limited otherwise.

I am pretty sure that the HTML is entirely hand written, apart from 
what the server fills in.  I've been editing in Dreamweaver lately, as 
that is convenient and keeps my local and remote files all up to date.  
But I can't use the wysiwyg view very easily for this stuff - I'm just 
using it as a text editor.

At the moment I'm desperately wanting to convert the whole lot over to 
PHP and MySQL, but that involves persuading the owner of my host to 
install MySQL :)  Otherwise I'll need to add some features to my own 
database, which is going to require a fair bit of effort.

BTW thanks to everyone for the feedback.  It must be about time I put 
another picture in.

Cheers,

- Dave
