I have not posted here before. This entire mailing list thing is quite new to me. But it is time that I start.
Qooxdoo is awsome. No two ways about it. I looked at alot of javascript libraries about a year ago because the way the web works was just not satisfactory. After I ran across qooxdoo, I was amazed at how it works and I was shocked and amazed that everyone developing on the net was not falling all over themselves to use it. But then again, Leonardo da Vinci designed airplanes and submarines before anyone else had a clue! Enough of this. I know your time is valuable. But please keep up the good work.

I am aware of it, but I am worried about the browsers that do not support compression. Maybe wrongly, but I associate dialup with older browsers(I am not trying to say anything negative about dialup. I know that dialup is the only option for many). And what I am saying is only an assumption. There is so much to learn and I have my plate full with qooxdoo, javascript, and python! But I am at the point that I have to address these other things. > Trying your app, I see that BookViewWindow.js is requested from the > server every time you double-click on a book.

However, by design, the book information is loaded each time. This allows me to only keep the set of book keys in memory and not all of the information for each book. And this is because the emphasis of the app is on book searching, not book viewing. As for the help window, the app is supposed to only load it the first time it is requested. My app compressed down to about 140k, but I would like to know if there is a limit on the size of a file for dialup. And/or what factors (other than size) influence whether qooxdoo will load on dialup.
