<autopromo> So I'm a dad now. The creature weights about 130 ks and I'm so proud of it. If you still doubt DynAPI can be used in real jobs, here's another evidence it can.
I've been developing this site for about one year now. Lots of delays, content reestructurations and so. Mainly politics, as usual with big companies. I don't like politics. Some comments ------------- - Notice that the window can be resized and the content, event the scrolbars, readjust themselves nicely. This doesn't work in NS 4. I gave up on that one: resizing will screw the site. - I use a hidden frame to load contents. Also, I have a structure file where a nav tree is defined. Adding and reestructuring section is as easy as editing that file. - URL = section_id.html This way it is easier to find everything and besides it allows to use the url of the loaded file to determine which section are you looking at, and thus updating the topmost location bar. This allows the back and forward buttons in the browser to work, something the client will never realize nor consider but to me one of the things I'm most proud of. - Multiple languages are supported. You won't find the english link because due to lack of time they disabled all but the spanish content. I'll provide you with the direct link to the english content so at least you know what you're looking at :). Cookies are used to store your last language selection. - The dropdown menus are rendered with layers in NS4 and with HTML tables in DOM browsers. Separate files implementing the same functions, allows me to save some Ks. - When the contents have a form inside a boolean value is set and then when the dropdowns are shown the content is hidden. I don't like it disappearing but it is certainly better than seeing your texareas over the menu. - It took me forever to have NS4 stabilize. Things as simple as accessing the location of a frame while a slide is happening in another frame would make it crash. Here goes the url http://www.retevision.es/index.html?idioma=english This will load the english version - I wanted it to take over the whole page, while designers wanted it in a fixed size ( typical "I want it to look exactly as cool as I drew it in Photoshop, don't you dare speak usability to me" atttitude ). Finally we've got fixed width and variable height, but being as stubborn as I am, I programmed the web fullscreen and added a frameset. So, the fullscreen website can be found here http://www.retevision.es/home.html?idioma=english ------------------------------ Works in everything I've got for testing but Mac IE (the hell with it). You will see some ugly scrollbars in Mozilla. They were not there, I promise, someone inside the company touched something when adding the database support. I'll fix that. --------- Regards, </autopromo> _______________________________________________ Dynapi-Dev mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.mail-archive.com/dynapi-dev@lists.sourceforge.net/
