...and would probably be relatively easy to implement if we had server-side scripting available (whether PHP/SQL or CGI-based). Unfortunately, Collabnet does not support this. @Louis: How about Ajax? Can that be used with the CollabNet servers? I personally have little skill with Javascript (even less with Ajax), so to implement any of these suggestions is going to require someone much more skilled to write and donate the code :( > > > I think Global Distributors should be put in their own category, and > > mention their preferred language for communication with prospective > > clients. > > Yes, and/or be listed in each area. AT present, this is one of the things I'm trying to implement. There is a global entry, which *always* appears at the top of the page, and all distributors listed there should also have a corresponding listing under their country. I'm also trying to modify the location entry to the city/town and state/county where the distributor is physically located. This last is the hardest, since I don't have that data for most of the entries from before we implemented the current Javascript sort. As a result, only the more recent additions have that data in their location field. > > > -- > Niel Archer > > > --------------------------------------------------------------------- > To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- Alex Fisher Co-Lead, CD-ROM Project OpenOffice.org Marketing Community Contact Australia/New Zealand http://distribution.openoffice.org/cdrom/
