You'll have to address this in some other fashion, it's better handled at a different layer than Exhibit, which makes no considerations for security. You're looking for an authentication scheme (I am who I say I am) and an authorization scheme (I have the right to see it). This could be as simple as HTTP Basic authentication or a more complex content management system like Drupal, etc. You need to address this on the server side. > Q2: Is there any way to control the behavior of the facets?

I don't believe anybody came to the point of publishing such a mechanism. There has been discussion about it in the past, but it's not an easy user interface problem to solve. Side note, you don't need to control click. Just click normally on the checkbox. > Q3: I have lots of other questions, but this is enough for now - > except for one more - Where is the best place to find Exhibit > documentation for newbies? http://www.simile-widgets.org/wiki/Exhibit -- Ryan Lee [email protected] http://simile.mit.edu/ --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "SIMILE Widgets" group.
