Ahh, now I remember. Well, the I put that in like 25 years ago ;-)

Let's assume the user write a very long line and relies on the wrapping of the text box. So the input might look like the 
first attachment. Then the user hits submit and gets just one long line (second attachment) and has to scroll one kilometre
to the right to see the full line. So there is an inconsistency between the entry form and what the user sees after the
submission. Having "wrap=hard" tells the browser to put CRLF where the wrapping in the textarea happens, so the text looks
the same during entry and after submission. If we remove the "wrap=hard", we would be back to the situation below in the two
attachments.

Opinions?

   If you have only one entry in the logbook and have it set up in threaded 
mode like: ?cmd=Search&mode=threaded&reverse=1, when you click on the icon 
of the entry or the number of the entry to see it, it does not allow you 
to.  If there is more than one entry, it works fine.  
   Also I wanted to make a submit page from where you could either go back 
to the logbook which you just entered a message for or type a new entry for 
that logbook.  First of all, is there a way to have only one file called 
submitpage.html in which I can define this for all logbooks or do i need it 
for ever logbook.  And also, is there a way I can even set a link that will 
allow to create a new entry.  I tried: 
    <a href="demo/?cmd=new">Enter</a> another message<p>

but for some reason it does not work.  Is there a way to implement this?

Thanks,
Mo

Many thanks, that is what I was looking for.

current version uses strstr() to check if the file has the expected ascii
text extension ... this is buggy becouse this way a file named
".txt_hidden_file" or "foo.config.dat" are both seen as .txt files.

the following patch fixes the problem, plz apply to cvs:

the following patch should do the job:

two new elog.conf parameters are defined:
Attached image width          ; width of full view image attached
Attached image width entry    ; width of attached image in the entry list view

plz apply :-)

Are you sure that this does not stretch small images? Please see elog:931

> two new elog.conf parameters are defined:

I would rather go with a new class in the CSS file to contain this options, since I 
want to keep the number of options as small as possible.
