I recently re-engineered a simple profile editor used to populate our online directory (www.it.dev.duke.edu/go/directory). The previous version, written by my predecessor, aside from being written with spaghetti includes, written in all caps with absolutely no indentation, no CSS, and heavy use of , it also instructed users to only upload images that were 150x225 On more than one occassion, users would upload images of the wrong size, and they'd complain because - since he had hardcoded the width and height into the image tag, they'd get stretched and distorted. The re-engineered app has a Flex 2 interface, and the image upload process uses my imageCFC to read the image dimensions - and if the width and height do not fit within the 150x225 dimensions, it is scaled to fit.. Now the end user doesn't have to think twice about resizing the image. It's all done for them. Some of the users *ARE* dumb. Others just don't know better. But if you don't take both of those things into account, it's you the developer who are the dumb one =) Rick ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Introducing the Fusion Authority Quarterly Update. 80 pages of hard-hitting, up-to-date ColdFusion information by your peers, delivered to your door four times a year. http://www.fusionauthority.com/quarterly Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/message.cfm/messageid:250816 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.4
