[CC'ing the list, since I need to raise a few issue to be decided ]
this email talks about adding the [pdf|src] boxes in pure text, similar to what allan's snapshot was in his recent post to the list.
here are my version of the download_links plus the stylesheet (needed).
please try it before commiting it.
please note the following:
* i havent obviously spent much time understanding the workings of the tt-code so the attached code could definetely be much better but i think you easily get the idea of what im trying to do.
yes, that's good.
* the stylesheet is a bit messy as i have been playing around a lot. basically you only need to apply the lower part.
i've taken only the download relevant part
* when i do built (./bin/build -vf) i never get the pdf-link i dont know/understand why. will this happen in real life? i guess my question is: could we have a scenario with either no pdf-link or no src-link or even both? i think the code is ready for missing just one of them, not both.
to get pdfs you need to add -d flag, have you considered build -h ;)
the program doesn't "miss" files, it only links to the files which exist. If you didn't created pdfs, obviously it won't blindly link to something non-existing ;) Notice that you need to run -d only once for testing afterwards the created pdf files will be simply reused.
* because the input field in opera is quite big and seems non-adjustable i think we should increase the height of all the widgets to 22px including the download_link, but that we can of course do later if we decide.
well, from my testing on other linux browsers it's going to be a big pain. the height is different in konqueror. You cannot use absolute px in font size, you know that. I've attached a snapshot. I'm not talking about NS4, which is a mess as usual.
I suggest to mix images with text, so we have a really fixed text of the same width as prev|next.
But, how about putting the download sizes into the ALT tag? This way we solve the problem immediately and simply use the pure images.
So we have images of the same style for the search button, src/pdf and prev/next navigation.
Also I'm considering to put the real 'next' and 'prev' and 'up' titles into the ALT tags, as in ALT="prev: developers guide", etc.
