Assuming you want to include the functionality, I think JS is the best tool for the job. Anything else (applets, flash, silverlight) all require browser plug-ins. That's not to say that JS is great for cross-browser programming, lord knows I spent enough time with "dhtml" back in the Netscape 4.x days hating all rendering engines. However, this should be fairly straightforward on current browsers. If someone wants to write it up as a bug/feature, feel free to assign it to me and I'll work on it when I get sick of staring at Java.

As one edits the times for Monday, the times are copied into Tuesday through Friday areas. How would it behave if the user wanted different Mon-Fri times? After the time for Monday is entered, the user would be able to edit the other times. This could be a problem if the user realized he/she made an error on the Monday time. How about a check box that says "Same as Monday" for Tues to Fri? By the way, I don't know Java Script. I don't know if you or Adam does. > 2) Same, but use an applet. I'd like to avoid applets as much as possible. > 3) Allow the user to just type in the times. This would necessitate adding logic to check that the times entered are valid. This suggestion (3) can be combined with (1) xor (2). Hmmm...well, #1 is my favorite of these three, but maybe we can do a little better. I don't think we have to completely solve this for alpha, just decide between: 1. Leave it as-is, but allow the users to leave blank and have unenforced hours. 2. Yank the functionality for alpha so we don't intimidate people. I agree. It is too early to spend a lot of time on this. > Another suggestion: If a location is known to have a website, it might help to have a link (URI) to the website. Good idea. Would you capture this as a "bug" report? > Another "long range" comment about hours: (I doubt that this is likely to happen at a place where people might play go, but I'll mention it anyway.) It is possible that a location needs more than one set of hours on some days. Some locations might have a staff so small that they have to close during part of the day. (This is actually the case for some pharmacies here.) The hours look something like this: > > Monday to Friday: 7 a.m. to 11 a.m., 12 N to 4 p.m.; (The pharmacist has lunch between 11 and noon.) The hours object does support this, though the UI doesn't. We can add it later, once we work out the UI challenges. -Alf ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.
