[WSG] Naked metadata

2005-11-05 Thread Jonathan O'Donnell
Hi WSG'ers After seeing Sarah's post about CSS for titles, I thought that people might be interested in this idea. It's a half baked idea. If you have any comments or suggestions, I would love to hear them. Apologies for those who have already seen this on the DC-General list. ** The

[WSG] List server commands

2005-11-05 Thread Peter Firminger
Folks, Any of you that remember when this list server took commands via email, please forget it ever happened. The only way to edit your setting is to log in and set them on the website. Even if you do manage to get a command to work, the next time the system writes the subscription file from

Hi Jonathan, I second Patrick's comment that 'pointing' the DC records to content on the page is not the solution. Although, from a maintenance perspective, this may appear to be a work-around for not completing the metadata records (questionable), metadata harvesting tools are unlikely to

2005-11-05 Thread Andy Kirkwood|Motive
Hi Sarah, I was just looking for a way to give the user immediate feedback about each reference, and thought the title may be useful. The problem with linking back and forth is that there are *so* many references on each page, sometimes two or three to each quote, so it gets a bit messy.

Apologies if this has been discussed before, but is it my bad coding, or does Safari (v2.02, latest build) not honour any select styles? Further, is there a way to dictate how option can display styled font attributes across all CSS-compliant browsers? My aim is to make the drop-down in the same

Thanks, Philippe - I was hoping that I'd hear otherwise. I'm not attempting to make radical changes to the user interface: just aiming for consistency. Interesting that certain widgets are off-limits in this sense, yet submit can be OS-built, text, or image. I had considered using dropdown menu
