Thanks, also, to Perry
- but the script is way over my head. I really mean those words below my picture, "IT-anaphabetic".-Curt (June 26, 2008, 06:17 AM)
I removed it and guess what .... fixed in IE 6 and 7 .... WTF!-Carol Haynes (June 26, 2008, 12:42 PM)
Everybody is here. I will place the order tonight and then report back to you all what your cost will be. You can then donate the appropriate amount of credits and I will have mouser transfer them to my PayPal account.-tinjaw (June 26, 2008, 02:25 PM)
Thanks, Perry - but speaking of 'scripts', SnapFolders wouldn't work in my setup - some conflict of a kind, I guess, though it suggest that I get the latest script-something from MS. The problem must be something else, for I am confident my script version is newer than the one Matts was using back in 2005.

I guess that I hoped that finding the culprit was halfway to finding the problem 
Interesting - is this in IE 6? I can't see any difference (except that it screws up the spacing with the image below) in IE 7. In FF2 it does change the alignment to line up with the sidebar but it also screws up the image spacing.-Carol Haynes (June 25, 2008, 10:31 AM)
I have a standard single style for images in the main part of the page which doesn't add margin at the top - this is because pictures are always put at the top of paragraphs or the top of the div so I don't want it shifting down.
The other disadvantage of using span like this is that I lose control over the p style changing font face site wide. I suppose I could add a global body text style but then I would have to edit the whole site to apply it to all the text!-Carol Haynes (June 25, 2008, 10:31 AM)
I have however added a global style change for p and h3 which seems to align the columns better in FF2 (doesn't seem to do much in IE7 though - what about IE6?).-Carol Haynes (June 25, 2008, 10:31 AM)
Yep, I think you're doing well, the site is looking good-jgpaiva (June 25, 2008, 09:47 AM)
Also, I think you should move "A UK Charity supporting "The Gambian Organisation for the Visually Impaired"
(Registered Charity 1070173)" somewhere else and move the top banner up. I say this because it's stealing too much screen real-estate. One of the rules with web pages is to not make them long, but if the top banner and text are taking 1/3rd of the screen, this task becomes more complicated.-jgpaiva (June 25, 2008, 07:43 AM)
Really defines the content, eh?Could some kind soul check out the latest incarnation of www.friendsofgovi.org.uk in Internet Explorer 6. I don't have it on my system except in a VMWare installation of Windows 98 and I am getting bad whole page flickering from the menu.
I had to change the CSS tags on div:hover in the menu as it didn't seem to work in IE6 at all. I have instead used a:hover in the menu which works but every time I move the mouse down the menu the whole page flickers and I can't seem to work out why. Is it an ancient hangover of Windows 98 version of IE6 or have I got real problems?-Carol Haynes (June 24, 2008, 02:03 PM)
Thanks to all of you, and one extra thank you to Perry for writing Nirsofer! I have tried, though, to write him some time ago about something different, but I cannot remember getting an answer. I hope you have better luck.-Curt (June 24, 2008, 03:32 AM)
NirExt Shortcut+ maybe?-PhilB66 (June 23, 2008, 06:23 PM)
you would call it like this
FARR.setStrValue("launch","showhtml "+htmlString);-mouser (June 23, 2008, 06:48 PM)
OR if you are doing a takeover of the OnProcessTrigger, ecaradec just added the ability to tell farr not to close -- you return a value of 1 from that event function. BUT BUT BUT -- i don't think ecaradec has made that new version of fscript public yet (1.6) so you need that first.-mouser (June 22, 2008, 05:08 PM)
FScript 1.7 is uploaded.
onProcessTrigger can now return a set of flags to tell if the result was processed and if farr window should close.-ecaradec (June 23, 2008, 02:45 PM)
Just done a load of new updates.-Carol Haynes (June 22, 2008, 10:38 AM)
The news section has changed completely.-Carol Haynes (June 22, 2008, 10:38 AM)
Much easier for finding the actual bit you want to read...The new wall photo is better but unfortunately the wall had got dirty. We are still trying to track down the original wall photo so that I can produce a decent version but at least it is readable now.-Carol Haynes (June 22, 2008, 10:38 AM)
I have also added a PHP script to force the PFD membership application form (the menu 'Become a friend of GOVI') to download rather than open in a browser window. I think I may actually point this to the 'You can help page' and provide the option to download or open the PDF form. Maybe I should make it a fillable form on a webpage which can then be printed and posted. Since it involves bank details I don't want to have to get involved in secure web transfer.-Carol Haynes (June 22, 2008, 10:38 AM)
Maybe you removed the script?Next things to do -
- add RSS news feed.
- sort out banner image.
- sort out the links page and make it useful.
- consider using dynamic news page generation so that others can add and comment on articles.
Not sure I want to get into the last of those as it is pretty easy to add articles now 'cos they are just dropped into a simple template. The person who is editing articles isn't really keen to make it a site where lots of people can contribute directly - and I suppose realistically at this point the contributions are from a fairly limited pool of contributors that have direct knowledge.-Carol Haynes (June 22, 2008, 10:38 AM)
For a quick start, you should copy one of the sample plugins, change the name and go slowly from there by deleting the parts you don't need.
- /OUT:FARRPluginRCW.dll directive in .EXP differs from output filename 'G:\Documents\My Development\FARR Plugins\CSharpSDK\FARR CSharp SDK\Debug\Test_FARRAltTabRCW.dll'; ignoring directive G:\Documents\My Development\FARR Plugins\CSharpSDK\Copy of FARRAltTab\Test_FARRAltTabRCW.exp Test_FARRAltTab

I was having an issue with RegEx's in the JavaScript though: they don't seem to be working. Is that FScript.dll or FARR?-Perry Mowbray (June 17, 2008, 04:04 AM)
What is your issue with regexes ?
- FARR regexes are used to filter output (output many results and let farr filter and sort the results )
- You can use javascript to filter your results but you have to implement sorting and filtering-ecaradec (June 21, 2008, 05:28 AM)
or at least my understanding of some code I'd borrowed. It was neither Fscript or FARR (not surprising ): I've got my RegExes working fine in JavaScript, thanks.1. Is it possible to stop FARR closing when a result is double-clicked?add " /stayopen" to the end of the launch result to tell FARR to stay open after launching.-mouser (June 21, 2008, 10:42 AM)
2. Can I get information from the found item into the EditBox?there may be something i can do to improve the case of dragging and dropping into edit box or chooding jump to directory for these cases, but regardless, i think what you are wanting to, if i understand it which i might not, is to populate your results like this:
choice 1 | restartsearch tz pacific/auckland
choice 2 | restartsearch tz usa
etc
the restartsearch launch command will put the text that follows into the edit box when the item is selected, so it lets you build things like menus in FARR results.-mouser (June 21, 2008, 10:42 AM)
Following a remark made on this site somewhere, I've occasionally called software vendors, prior to a purchase, to ask if there is a discount or promotion. Surprisingly many either have something available or will create an on-the-spot discount.-cranioscopical (June 20, 2008, 11:13 AM)
We're already getting a discount anyway, right? It was probably a little cheeky, but exposure here is definitely a win-win situation: so there's no harm in trying...IMMEDIATE_DISPLAY=0; ADDSCORE=1; MATCH_AGAINST_SEARCH=2
