VMs: Re: Numbered transcription



Hi everyone,

I've put up a new test-page showing my idea of how JavaScript can make proofing much less painstaking.

http://www.voynich.info/phpwiki/vmsform.html

Each word index is "live": clicking on it fills out the form appropriately, and moves the input focus to the box you'd want to edit. To save you typing your name every time you use the form, JavaScript can also remember your name in a cookie (which is much nicer) - although that feature doesn't currently appear to work (and I have no idea why). :-9

I also tried to keep my usage of JavaScript back to version 1.0 of the language. Under Win95, IE6, NS4.08, NS4.76, & NS6.0 (my main compatibility set) all seem to work OK with it.

I also tried to construct the page so that it will still function OK without JavaScript... though what browser would have CSS but not JavaScript? :-9

Comments? :-)

Cheers, .....Nick Pelling.....
