[Phpgedview-talk] JavaScript Usage

[Nathan S. H. <nat...@uk...>]

Another message from me!

May I ask why there is such heavy use of JavaScript throughout the site? 
  Some of the stuff seems like it could be done with simple HTML and 
CSS. I always seem to find JavaScript hard to follow and clutters a lot 
of the HTML, making it difficult to follow - so I may be biased! :)

OK, I suppose you can use the JavaScript to remove window decorations, 
but it seems to make things quite convoluted - I couldn't seem to find 
where the help text was coming from. Any pointers on this front?

Couldn't something like a simple HTML link to a standard help.php file 
suffice? You could simply pass an argument(s) to indicate which help 
should be displayed. e.g.

<a target="pgv_help" href="/help.php?which=DBTYPR_help>

You could even store all your help text in an XML file and get help.php 
to simply pull out and display whichever help text you wish.

Just some thoughts, as I try to get my head around the code.
