[WebERP-developers] Fwd: Fwd: [Web-erp-svn] SF.net SVN: web-erp:[7751] trunk

[Rafael C. <raf...@gm...>]

Hi,

Thanks Tim.

Because I like small devices, I am a little bit fanatic of "Low
footprint" Principle.

Yes, this solution makes the code clearer. So, I think, in this case,
"Easily readable code" Principle should be over the "Low
footprint" Principle, and we got the desired result. Note: in this
solution, traffic is the same in all cases (on/off ShowFieldHelp).

If no more comments, I will work on implementing this solution.

Best regards, Rafael.

Hi Rafael, I have implemented the help text in css. As you have said
this increases traffic, but as it is just plain text this will never
amount to more than a few hundred bytes, and most often less than
that. It does have the benefit of taking out the conditional
statements making the code clearer (IMHO).

You can see what I have done at https://demo.kwamoja.org (the only
script with field help in it at the moment is UserSettings.php) and
all the code is at
https://github.com/timschofield/KwaMoja/commit/

Let me know what you think,
Tim
