multi-page printing moving on
I have some nice forms done using stylesheets. I currently have them displaying on screen and the user could simply just print. This works when there is only one form (facility) to be viewed/printed. I have created the looping code necessary to print for all facilities but that doesn''t work for me because each page uses stylesheets with <div> that do absolute positioning and thus

Beauty in Page Layout
Hi Railers, I have a model with many associations (20+). I would like to display the relative associations using AJAX, allowing the user to display the association his/her is interesting at a particular time. Is there any existing applications or sample code that I can look at to accomplish the task? Present I have one long page, with master (displaying current record information) and many

DOCTYPE declaration:
I am playing around with the Agile Rails development book again and thought to see what effect, if any, placing a doctype declaration at the top of an rhtml file would have. When I insert any of the three standard forms of such declaration at the top of app/views/store.rhtml the product image disappears when the web page is redisplayed. The error logged in log/development.log is: >

PNG and Alpha-Transparency
Is there a prototype / extension which will assist in cross-browser support of PNG images? http://www.alistapart.com/articles/pngopacity/ It seems to me that a class could be developed which would zip through the DOM and make changes where needed for IE 5.5 / IE 6.0 to handle PNG images. I don''t want to write one if it''s been done before. Sam _____________________________________...

Change stylesheets asynchronously
I have my default "scaffold.css" that loads when the page loads, however I would like to be able to dynamically change the CSS sheet by clicking a link. I tried wrapping the stylesheet like below: <head> <div id="css-theme"> <link rel="stylesheet" href="/stylesheets/scaffold.css" type="text/css" media="screen"

Nice UI Tabs - based on a click
Hi: I have a piece of UI, basically tabs. The number of tabs will be variable. the tab itself will contain fields that will change depending on the tab (pretty standard). The UI could be Ajax-like, or just nice scriptaculous, or whatever works. Can someone point me in the right direction? Also, I''m a newbie, so simple is better, although of course I''m willing to figure

Stop browser from "form filling" fields.
Hi all, I have a user login form which the browser keeps populating because of its form fill feature. So when anyone goes to log in it shows the previous login''s username and password. How can I stop the browser from populating a text field? Thanks in advance. Cheers, Diego --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to

Tools for converting markdown to other formats with templating support
Hi all, I'm new to the list but I've been using markdown for a while and I wonder if it might make the things I've been doing recently easier if I could find a tool that does what I need. Essentially, I've been writing a lot of technical proposals of late (mostly using google docs), but I'd like to switch to writing them in Markdown (which handily means I can track revisions

[OT] Tables VS divs for form layout.
I''ve been using tables to get my forms to line up. ( I have usually one column for labels, and a column for values ). Should I be using divs instead? I''ve been reading some CSS design books lately. They tend to recommend divs over tables for general page layout stuff. But, what about the forms elements? What''s the ''best practice'' in this regard?

DESIGN question: We do not need damned publishers
Here is the actual design of my CMS : each Item is secured by 3 (+1) elements: readers group writers group publishers group owner readers = people who can find the item in the database and .... read it. writers = people who can add new content (create new versions or sub-pages) without making their changes visible (they can propose content). publishers = people who can change what readers

OT: finding a designer (bit of a rant)
I''ve written my app already. It outputs valid xhtml and I need a stylesheet to drop over the top. How hard is it for people to understand that? It''s a small project, they''d have to do the main design/layout, and then a little custom styling for some specific elements which don''t appear on every page. That''s the point of CSS right? write once, use

Element.observe () binding
Hey all, I working on a project, but I am not sure I can do what I want to do. The following works beautifully: Event.observe(el, ''click'', function () { this.className += " myClass"; return false; }); I have also tried doing this: this.varname = ''test''; Event.observe(el, ''click'', function () { alert (this.varname); }.bind
