Hi peter, <br>
<br>
Yes you are right about the mobile css type, however a large (wide)
table will always need a large amount of screen space and no level
of css will ever be able to change that.<br>
<br>
Cheers<br>

Just another good reason to clean up the html and drive the
formatting via css. Sigh, I continue to pick away at the styles
in tsng.<br>

Ah, I was not thinking about "mobile devices", so I saw no
point in stretching things vertically.<br>
<br>
We could perhaps make two layouts, one for normal screens and
another for mobile devices, is there an easy way to tell if a
mobile device is viewing the page?<br>
<br>
The current version uses a 'text' field in the database which
can hold up to 65535 characters, ie. 64kb. I'm fairly certain
(but haven't verified) there is nothing in the code that cares
how long a text message is, but it could be affected by the
php max_post_size limitation.<br>

<div bgcolor="#ffffff" text="#000000"> The way the
current clocking form is, it is suitable for use on
small screens i.e. a smart phone which is a good
feature.<br>
The simple.php doesn't work well on a small screen
due to width. Extended descriptions with carriage
returns aren't possible either in simple.php whereas
the other clocking methods allowed for carriage
returns due to the use of textareas instead of
single row fields.<br>
<br>
I feel there is no need to cramp stuff up when there
is no real requirement. Simple.php needs to be all
on single lines and that is fine, but for normal
clocking I can't see a reason why it needs to be so
slimline. If you take google calendars for example
(see attached), everything is nicely spread out.<br>
<br>
Maybe the message box restriction was in an old
version of tsheetx v1.2/v1.3<br>
I suppose you could set a limit but if we do then it
should be at least 1000chars, but then if there is
no db limit then why bother?<br>

<blockquote type="cite">That was just an
example, the sizes were very rough and

information on one line of the simple form, I
don't think we're so tight on space that we
need to move to 3-5 lines for each item on the
daily page. I'd like to limit it to no more
than two, the simple form does currently have
this as an option (long description).<br>
<br>
I can see adding a date field is needed, and
with the new form I would like to remove the
clocking box altogether for this form. I am
in agreement that the message box should be
restricted, but I don't believe there is a
limit of 255 characters in either the code or
the database, so I'm curious as to why longer
messages are currently truncated?<br>
<br>
As for editing, I'm proposing you can edit
multiple items at a time with the form, so
there would be no need for an "edit" link, but
yes the 'x' would be to delete the item. With
a test user/test install, maybe play with the
simple form a bit to get a better idea of how
the new daily form might work?<br>

There are lots of inherent problems with
using the simple timesheet in
conjunction with other forms of time
entry that I have always just disabled
the simple view.<br>
<br>
I think for the daily view, more than
one clock on/off isn't really required.
The more elongated layout could cause
issues as there won't be much room for
the drop down menus if there is long
strings, and the description being so
small i don't think would work.<br>
<br>
A hybrid could work however? - Maybe:<br>
<br>
<table border="1" cellpadding="2"
cellspacing="2" width="100%">
<tbody>
<tr>
<td valign="top">Client:<br>
</td>
<td valign="top">[drop down]<br>
</td>
<td colspan="1" rowspan="3"
valign="top">Message:<br>

<td colspan="2" rowspan="3"

Then rather than have the clocking box
always visible at the top we could use a
bit of javascript to make it appear -
slide in from behind the menu for
instance?<br>
One of the most annoying things i found
was it took much longer to enter times
than spanned a day boundary. If the
dates are already in this form but
preset to today's date, that would give
users the opportunity to clock over day
boundaries. The other thing that I
found is that there should be validation
on the message box to restrict it to 255
chars or change the db so this limit is
removed as I sometimes entered rather
long messages only to find that it was
truncated at a later date.<br>
<br>
If you wanted to add lots of times could
you do it as follows:<br>
Use my form as the entry method then
have a button that you could click to
add another clocking. The form above is
then cleared and the data you previously
entered is summarised as per Scott's
image above it. the cross could be used
to delete the time and another icon next
to the cross could be added to edit the
stored info. You would then need a
final save btn:<br>
<br>
Maybe:<br>
<br>
<table border="1" cellpadding="2"
cellspacing="2" width="100%">
