Re: [Vicaya-user] Vicaya 0.1.6 Beta Release Candidate

Hej Michael,

Thanks for the feedback. Glad it works out for you. The icons, images,
and content is primarily John's doing. I've taken his bulk ATI content
and done some massaging and filtering, but not much. Below is the
relevant bit of your code minus style:

    <form method=3D"get" action=3D"/search">
          <input name=3D"query">
           <!-- <input type=3D"image"
src=3D"../../../images/searchbutton2.gif" align=3D"top" name=3D"submit"
alt=3D"submit" width=3D"39" height=3D"23"></p> -->
          <input class=3D"only-online" type=3D"submit" value=3D"Search" />
           <input class=3D"only-offline" type=3D"submit" value=3D"&raquo;
Search online" />
        </form>

I'm not sure what's wrong. Try to remove the other two submit input nodes.

> Also, what is the function of the two input classes?

That's a John Hack (tm). He simply changes one or two lines in the CSS
file to "convert" a webapp to on-line or off-line. Basically the
only-offline is invisible to the user when online and vise versa. I've
not bothered to mess with it too much.

I intend to make a generic product that simply searches it's own
documentation if I get any hint that this project has captured the
imagination of anyone outside of the ATI peanut gallery. The download
would be substantially smaller.

Yes. I would recommend that to both you and John. As I've been
automating all of these tasks, I found it too tedious to modify his
page variations.

The entire download (with ATI but without the dev or creation tools)
is 35.5 MB. Which is less than double that of the basic bulk download.
Thus, it might be possible to use the same code base (including PDF)
in the near future.

That it will not do.

The content is not my department. I'm hoping to pique the interest of
those who can do things as you mention and help with development.

Gray? It should be slightly golden or bronze. At least on my machine.
I've noticed that these images look better on a Mac. I suspect these
images are using a system or custom palette.
