Bill and Andy, this is a common requirement on caver web sites. I have used Atomz with good results on both fscsp.org and cavebooks.com [http://www.atomz.com/].
However on some websites you have a /Private area just to keep out the Google and other web crawlers because you don't want your name correlated with your picture, etc. to keep the identity thieves at bay. Atomz claims to have the ability to handle this but the first time I tried it didn't work. On sensitive things like this (such as cave locations) you should always check it out "very carefully" so that you don't get all the extra snoop code installed at the highest level (admin) that so much of the "free fix my computer" apps seem to do. (I got rid of Log-Me-In but I am STILL trying to get rid of MacKeeper which is pinging the internet several times a second...) If you come up with a good JS that will work behind password protected directories please let me know. - Pete On Dec 20, 2012, at 2:10 PM, Andy Edwards wrote: I'm not a JavaScript expert, but I'd be willing to take a look! -Andy On Thu, Dec 20, 2012 at 2:31 PM, Mixon Bill <bmixon...@austin.rr.com> wrote: Is there a Java Script guru out there who would be willing to look at something for the Association for Mexican Cave Studies? We have an archive catalog of some 4500 items (230 pages worth) that I'd like to put on the web, but the whole thing is rather useless without a good search capability, since it is not sorted in any useful way. A new UT Grotto member wrote Java Script code that will display only entries that match a specified combination of strings, and it does the right thing, but has serious performance issues. He then left for darkest Southeast Asia and has not been heard from since March. Anybody interested in looking into it? Other methods for accomplishing the same thing would be considered, but the advantage of Java Script is that it runs in the web browser, so the server doesn't need to do anything except deliver the file, which probably simplifies updating and maintenance. -- Bill Mixon ---------------------------------------- A little sincerity is a dangerous thing, and a great deal of it is fatal. ---------------------------------------- You may "reply" to the address this message came from, but for long-term use, save: Personal: bmi...@alumni.uchicago.edu AMCS: a...@amcs-pubs.org or sa...@amcs-pubs.org --------------------------------------------------------------------- Visit our website: http://texascavers.com To unsubscribe, e-mail: texascavers-unsubscr...@texascavers.com For additional commands, e-mail: texascavers-h...@texascavers.com
