Yep, you have a point there, preview is no demo to me either. Maybe we should add a "tools" section? Or just list preview as a main element. Also, mind, Justin suggested to add the capabilities into the sidebar as well, this means 5 new links are getting into the sidebar as well, with some extra ones incoming each time we implement a new version of a standard (e.g., WMS 1.3 or WPS 1.0). Doesn't this risks of making the sidebar too long? > Rather than prefixing each row with (wms) or (wfs), I'd suggest using > <optgroup> tags to organize the options in that dropdown. > (http://www.w3schools.com/tags/tryit.asp?filename=tryhtml_optgroup is a > simple demo for folks who are wondering what that tag does). Sure, can do. The list would become a little long thought, that's why I suggested two separate dropdowns below. >> As for having better looking names for the dropdown, we >> may be able use the internationalization subsystem to >> provide better looking labels starting from the mime types. >> Or maybe we can just forget about that and fill the dropdown >> with the mime types, it's supposed to be an advanced option >> anyways. >> >> Also, we may want to have two drodowns, one for wms >> extras, and one for wfs extras.
