dpkpBovinity: i'm rockin IE6, woohoo18:49
Bovinityyay18:49
dpkpand i found a style update that may work in the main labs stylesheet18:49
dpkpbumping the line-height in #content h2 ...18:50
dpkpfor headers that get line wrapped18:50
dpkplike the excessively long one we're staring at18:50
dpkpyou think its appropriate for the labs stylesheet?18:50
Bovinityhm, indeed18:51
dpkpwould line-height mess with padding or margin rendering?18:51
Bovinitynope18:52
Bovinitytho it's looking fine in firefox18:53
Bovinitya lot of your type is a big excessively big though18:54
Bovinityer, bit18:54
dpkpi know18:54
dpkpmia's call <shrug>18:54
Bovinityfor the app, that's fine, some more leading will help... for the intro page, way too big.18:56
dpkpyea, its crazy now that i look at it from ie18:59
Bovinitylol, opera makes the h tags in the intro the same size as the paragraph tags.19:00
Bovinityweird19:00
Bovinitynow that's a strange rendering bug19:04
Bovinityie7 isnt showing the previous question headers19:04
dpkpin the history where we display old answers?19:05
Bovinityyeah19:05
Bovinityis ie6 doing that?19:05
dpkpie6 is doing some weird banding up there19:05
dpkpbut the text is rendered properly19:05
Bovinitydpkp, probably a bug/feature for later, but is there supposed to be no way to go back once the app completes? in the event of a user error in hitting no instead of yes19:22
dpkpnot sure that we ever thought about it19:23
dpkpthere is supposed to be a start over19:24
dpkpbut that doesn't help if it was a mistake19:24
Bovinityyeah19:24
Bovinityit would suck to make a mistake really deep into it :/19:24
dpkpit shouldn't be hard to back up one screen19:24
dpkpi'll ask mia what she thinks19:24
paulproteusI seem to recall thinking about that in my hack of the tot app that I did.19:24
paulproteusAlso, hi.19:25
Bovinityhey19:25
Bovinitywhile i'm at it, i'll pretty some things up - like those more/less buttons, and such19:25
dpkpwhy thank ye19:25
dpkphello mr. proteus19:25
paulproteusHello Mr. PKP.19:25
dpkpwe never met, but i hope my code didn't scare you19:25
Bovinityasheesh meet dana, dana, asheesh.19:26
* Bovinity nods19:26
dpkpdid we have prototype in there when you were looking at it pp?19:26
paulproteusI think so.19:27
dpkpwhew, cuz boy did it suck before then19:27
paulproteusI have to say, I wasn't too pleased with the hard-coded state transitions.19:27
dpkpwhere were they coded then?19:27
paulproteusIt took me a while to extract what was similar about the state transition logic stuff out into a generic thing that I did.19:27
paulproteusI don't know, "tot.js" or something.19:27
paulproteusI put in the sf svn.19:27
Bovinityi thought we were gong to merge those changes back into tot19:28
dpkpyea, its not the prettiest state machine19:28
Bovinitybut apparently not19:28
dpkpi've never looked at them19:28
dpkplink?19:28
paulproteusOne sec.19:28
dpkpnot that we could get them in today19:28
dpkpbut i'd love to take a look19:28
paulproteushttps://svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/cctools/nc-survey19:28
dpkpk, i'll check it out19:29
dpkp<snarehit />19:29
*** aphid has joined #cc19:29
paulproteushttps://svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/cctools/nc-survey/trunk/nc is the most useful I think.19:29
paulproteusMaybe https://svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/cctools/nc-survey/trunk/generic-survey instead.19:29
dpkphow did you organize your state transitions?19:29
paulproteushttps://svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/cctools/nc-survey/trunk/nc/is-it-nc.xml19:30
paulproteusI should totally have written a schema for that so I could have used a tree-based XML editor rather than my Emacs to edit it.19:30
paulproteusMaybe I will, in the years beyond 2000.19:30
dpkpso you defined the states in that xml file?19:32
paulproteusExactly.19:32
dpkptoo l33t for my 06 skillz19:32
dpkpi'll give it a look19:32
paulproteusWith any luck, you can extend this and stop using hard-coded JS state transitions.19:32
paulproteusdpkp, Remind me what you do other than hack on CC stuff?19:33
dpkplaw student19:33
paulproteusCool.19:33
*** tannewt has joined #cc19:41
dpkparg19:49
dpkpno progress on ie619:49
dpkpthis browser sucks19:49
paulproteusdpkp, You know about http://dean.edwards.name/IE7/ , right?19:50
paulproteus(Just in case it'll help you.)19:50
paulproteusiirc it didn't help me, it took Bovinity's magic for that.19:50
*** aphid has quit IRC20:01
dpkpi hadn't seen it, i'll see if it helps20:04
Bovinitycommitted a couple layout tweaks20:05
*** tannewt has quit IRC20:10
Bovinityi sure wish IE had some JS/DOM debugging facility, like firefox20:12
dpkpyea, tell me about it20:12
Bovinityrequired field warning isnt showing up20:13
dpkpon all screens?20:13
Bovinityoh, wait, it aint showing up o n opera20:14
Bovinityand hten if you select something it wont go forward20:14
Bovinity...20:14
Bovinityok, it doesnt work at all on opera.20:14
Bovinitybut i could have sworn it did before20:15
Bovinityrequired field is fine on IE.20:15
dpkpworks on ie6, too20:16
dpkpyou think you could look at the history rendering in IE6 - i'm stumped...20:16
Bovinitynot showing up, like in ie7?20:16
* Bovinity fires up an ie6 VM20:17
dpkptheres a white stripe across every entry20:17
Bovinityhm, weird20:19
dpkpits the background from #history20:19
Bovinityit shows more history than 7 does..20:19
Bovinityhave you got an answer script to easily run through this?20:20
dpkpso what i've figured out is the bottom white stripe - who knows, a margin, a padding, something else?20:20
Bovinityor do you just kow the right answers by heart20:20
dpkpknow the answers...20:20
dpkpand there's a keypress handler20:20
dpkpso you can hit N or Y20:20
dpkpgenerally N-N tests history well20:20
Bovinitynot in IE620:21
dpkpbut the keypress doesn't work on all platforms20:21
dpkpright...20:21
* dpkp bangs head on desk20:21
Bovinityis fine, i know enough answers to get enough useful output20:21
dpkpi think #history is the culprit for the banding in ie620:22
Bovinityhardcoding a height.. i think it's that animation script20:24
BovinityIE doesn't redraw the bar properly20:24
dpkpfrom prototype?20:24
Bovinityright20:24
dpkpsuggestion?20:25
Bovinityi think it'll be better if things just appear and not scroll in20:25
dpkpawww20:25
dpkpbut we loves the scrolling20:25
Bovinitythe scrolling effect is kinda weird20:25
Bovinitymaybe a fadein if any thing ;)20:26
dpkpi'll play with it and see if i can fix20:27
*** aphid has joined #cc20:27
dpkpshowHistory() and hideHistory()20:27
dpkpi'm trying Element.hide / show and still getting bands20:28
Bovinityyeah20:28
Bovinityhmm20:28
dpkpwhere did you see the hardcoded height?20:29
Bovinitythe previous bar gets pushed up20:29
Bovinityi added it to style.css20:29
Bovinityhmm20:30
dpkphmm20:30
Bovinitywhere do you set the history bar background color?20:31
dpkpusing the section1 - section4 classes20:31
Bovinityfixed :)20:41
dpkpi was getting so close20:41
dpkpin svn?20:41
Bovinityit was the classic float problem.20:41
Bovinityin a sec20:41
dpkpi was starting to notice that20:41
dpkpi'm a floating noob20:41
Bovinityso the header bars are now forced to be 1.75em's high, which is just right.20:41
Bovinitysvn'd20:43
Bovinityhopefulyl t his fixes iE7 too20:44
dpkpawesome20:44
* dpkp bows down to bovinity's leet skillz20:45
Bovinitysweet, it works20:45
Bovinity:D20:45
Bovinityoh. not quite.20:46
dpkpwhats up?20:52
Bovinityaha, fixed20:56
Bovinitycan you quickly reload in 6 and see if it still works?20:56
dpkpurl?20:56
dpkpor you checked it in?20:57
Bovinitytermination.php20:57
dpkpseems to work21:00
dpkpbut i'm still trying to figure out what you changed to make sure i didn't mess with it21:00
Bovinitycommitted21:00
Bovinitythe height fixes are in a style-ie.css21:01
Bovinitythe page now has a conditional check for IE and loads it21:01
dpkpahh - you're working in termination/21:01
dpkpi made a working copy in termdpk/21:01
Bovinityoh, heh21:01
dpkpcuz i was spazzing out on the ie6 stuff21:01
dpkpwhatever you did makes whatever i was doing so much cooler21:02
dpkpat least in firefox21:02
dpkp:)21:03
Bovinityheh21:03
dpkpproblem now is that the answer span gets kicked down below the history-header21:04
dpkpin ie621:04
Bovinitydamnit, i was afraid that might happen21:04
dpkpits the clear:both21:05
Bovinitythere21:05
Bovinityapparently clear:none; does exist21:05
Bovinityat least in IE land21:05
dpkplol21:07
dpkpworks here21:07
dpkpso would i make a div height expandable, but have a set minimum ?21:11
dpkplike the width on #content21:11
dpkpi think21:11
Bovinityhm21:11
* Bovinity tries something21:11
dpkpim trying to get #screen to not flip out everytime we show/hide a div21:12
*** lkern has joined #cc21:13
lkerncan anyone help with the WpLicense plugin for wordpress?21:13
lkernhaving trouble enabling21:13
lkerni have installed and activated in wp admin21:14
lkernnow trying to enable in wp admin "options"21:15
dpkpi've never used it...21:15
dpkpbut i'm sure someone around here has21:15
lkernbut clicking on "select" (as instructed on http://wiki.creativecommons.org/WpLicense#Getting_Help) doesnt do anything21:16
*** dorileo has quit IRC21:18
Bovinitydpkp, do some of the history bars have more than one line of text?21:19
dpkpi don't think so21:22
Bovinityok21:22
dpkpalthough the familytree gets filled with lots of sub-bars21:22
dpkpbut it isn't styled like the rest21:23
Bovinityyeah, i noticed that after, and gave the history bars a an actual class because of the nesting21:23
Bovinitywould have screwed it up again otherwise21:23
dpkpin style-ie21:24
Bovinityand term.php21:24
dpkpcheck out termdpk/termination.php21:24
Bovinityooh, fady21:25
dpkplkern, yergler is the guy who knows wp, but i don't see him around today21:25
dpkpyea, you like?21:25
Bovinityyeah21:25
dpkpok, i'll check it in21:25
Bovinitycan't say i enjoy the page scroll, but thatts a necessary evil i know21:25
dpkpyea, we thought about putting the history to one side, but screen size probably wouldn't work21:26
dpkpit'd be too wide21:26
Bovinityyeah21:26
Bovinitytoo much info21:26
lkerndpkp: ok thanks i'll try the mailing list21:26
dpkpnp21:26

Bovinityrefresh. i was tweaking something.22:47
dpkpok, up'd22:48
dpkpi'm working on the glossary22:48
dpkpits being weird, but i think all the other stuff is ok22:48
dpkpthere's a couple weird 1px lines in the history on firefox/win22:49
dpkpthough i've only got ff 1.0.422:49
Bovinitywhere? looks fine in ff222:49
*** dorileo has joined #cc22:50
dpkpbetween the first and second history - employee created work + commissioned work22:50
dpkpalso between transfer date and author name22:50
Bovinitymsut be an old ff rendering bug22:51
dpkpprobably22:51
dpkpno worries22:51
dpkpcan you check the glossary on ie7 and ff222:51
Bovinityhm, ie gets a url bar22:52
Bovinityotherwise looks fine22:52
dpkpit's supposed to pop open a new window and only show the single entry22:55
dpkpif you click on a link within the entry, it's supposed to show that one22:55
dpkpnot sure if i explained that well22:55
dpkpits what nathan wrote last night22:55
Bovinityhm, i thought it was doing that when i looked before.. btu it's not doing that now22:55
dpkpthere was a broken tag, i committed a quick fix22:56
dpkpwhats seems to be happening now...22:57
Bovinityno change22:57
dpkpis the initial load is to an anchor in the full glossary22:57
dpkpand subsequent entry links (within the glossary window) go to single entries22:57
Bovinityits jsut going to the anchor and not hiding anything22:58
Bovinityalso, those links in there to faq items should probably go to a new window or something22:58
dpkpyea22:59
dpkptried a target="_new"22:59
dpkpbut my firefox settings just put it into a new tab23:00
dpkpso i said bah23:00
