Well, the way we do it now is, well to be frank, completely inefficient. Instead of using DHTML popups, why don't we use a new window popup? i.e. window.open() If there are 50 shows on the screen, we send 50 popups. Instead, we should just window.open a smaller window. It would make a huge difference. (Just to see, I tried doing a line count... the guide is 7290 lines and 300k. Stripping out the popups reduces it to 424 lines and 28k. And this is for three hours at a time) > 3) Genre support: I really like the genre support (genre.rpy and the > genre options at the top of the guide) and think we could add onto it a > bit.

At least allowing it be optionally configured so you could highlight "comedy" in red, or "sports" in green, etc. > Also is there a good way to search for movies?

Probably not too hard; just use the 'selected' in the form fields. > 2) Confirm on delete file. Yep, I got bit by this one once too. :) Should we be showing the FXD filename or the raw filename? It seems inconsistent right now. ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by: IBM Linux Tutorials Free Linux tutorial presented by Daniel Robbins, President and CEO of GenToo technologies.
