Turn that off as well, you may have just never seen the options, since you have been fighting a menu that does not want to let you see the options. > Also, to save a little more screen real estate, we could ditch the > double bordered box around the top menu (logo and menu options). > Currently, there's gray, then white, then the box.

The entire web admin needs to be abstracted. I want to work on this, and was going to ask how to best implement it. There is raw css and JS in the .pl file. This has to be loaded and parsed on every page load, and ever page save. These need to be external resources. Pull the JS and CSS out, and also pull all the display poerions out, into .tpl (template) files. Give a base UL/LI/Div based framework, and let me have at the css and JS. Include the jqeury library from the google CDN, and that gives me all the power I need to make a solid web admin with no download overhead, since it is cached for anyone who has loaded google before. I also wonder about and option to bundle in HTTP-Server-Simple from perl, or http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_lightweight_web_servers any lightweight webserver, could remove a huge chunk of code from assp.pl. Once you get all the display data into theme/english.tpl/file.tpl you go from around one call in perl to the many there are now to read and parse all the files. All I need is a way to http(s) post a list of args to assp.pl that will update the confi file, which with a little poking, since it already is in there, I am pretty sure it would not be a tough change. It is on my list to look into for sure. -- Scott * If you contact me off list replace talklists@ with scott@ * ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Let Crystal Reports handle the reporting - Free Crystal Reports 2008 30-Day trial.
