> matteob:... i know this is a stupid question, > but...what is a rolodex? 8-) Alain: A rolodex is an office-supply item. More often than not, a rectangular container that holds individual cards, with or without binders ... You know, like those cute metaphoric backgrounds that came with HyperCard. You have tabs sticking out at relevant sections of the rolodex, each tab a little bit more to the right of the previous one, so that you glance at all of the tabs at once, for a bird's-eye-view of all of the stack's cards. Collections of recipes often come in this format, too. Alain: matteob, I have a few free-like days, starting today. Thus, I have time to assist you with your HC-based CGI scripting, if you still wish to do so. Among other things, I have recently scripted a tool that exports everything a stack contains -- including scripts, content and properties -- as an HFS of folders and files that 'mirrors' your stack. The idea being that a CGI program can then use these files in order to generate the corresponding set of web-pages (stack/bkgnds/cards). Each page is composed of layers, one for each HC part. These parts (buttons and fields) can be sized, resized, placed, selected, shown, hidden ... just like the Real Thing. My working hypothesis is that HC userLevels 1, 2, 4 and even 5 are possible on the Web. UserLevel 4 will be the hardest. UserLevel 3 is out of the question for now, but in defense of HTML/CSS/JS, it should be noted that the latter has color, images, QT, and so on that make these interfaces pretty. Do the graphics-editing in another more specialized program, eh! Alain: If anyone else cares to join in, then don't hesitate to write me.
