The <table> tags are there on purpose. As you can combine several attributes
into one line (see this forum for example), it's necessary to make an
independent <table> for each line. This causes the shifting as you noted
correctly. To avoid this, simple increase the width of the attribute name field
in the CSS file. Edit <elo>/themes/default/default.css, find the section with
".attibname" and change the width from 150px to 200px, such as

.attribname {
  width:200px;
  background-color:#CCCCFF;
  border:1px solid #0000FF;
  border-top:1px solid white;
  border-left:1px solid white;
  padding:3px;
}

I tried this with http://midas.psi.ch/elogs/Config+Examples/1, and it wroked
fine (see attachment). [I had to increase the text size a bit in my browser to
reproduce the initial problem]

Dear Stefan,
I eventually tried the latest version from the CVS. 
And it is odd because like when I tried version 2.5.3, it is like it ignores
the passwd file. I guess I must have a problem in my cfg file.
So I can't really test if 2.5.3 or 2.5.4 have the same problem.

Right now I'm still using 2.5.2 which works fine, if i log out and click on
the logbook tab. I get the page which ask for the username and password. The
thing is I don't get returned to the username/password when I hit log out. I
arrive in the state you can see in the unlogged.jpg.
From here if can go into all the logbooks as long as I don't hit the
logbooks tab and worse I can access to all the config files.

Is there something really badly configured in my config file ? I guess it is
not supposed to work that way.

Thank you,

Alexandre

I like the implementation, especially with the tooltip popping up anywhere in the
area.  Thanks.
  642   Mon Aug 2 14:56:56 2004 Warning Heiko Scheith.scheit@mpi-hd.mpg.deBug reportLinux2.5.4too many <table> tags
There are too many <table> tags when displaying a singel entry.  E.g.
in http://midas.psi.ch/elogs/Config+Examples/1 the row 'Configuration Name'
is not aligned with the others (see attachment).

Looking at the HTML one sees that there are <table> tags for each row
which should not be there:

<tr><td><table width="100%" cellpadding=0 cellspacing=0><tr><td nowrap
class="attribname">Author:</td><td class="attribvalue">
Stefan Ritt&nbsp</td>
</tr></table></td></tr>

Not really, but hsearch() & Co. are not available under Windows, so I have to extract the
source code from the GNU C libarary or so. Since the last discussion I had lots of other
topics on my to-do list, such as mirroring and cloning, but the speed issue is getting more
and more up on the priority list.

Yeah - What's up with that?

I have seen this discussed before - Seems like it should be a priority to get this
fixed, as doing a hash table is straightforward, and the speed increase should be pretty
health - there are several c libraries available - check out "man 3 hsearch" for the
POSIX hash table management that already available.  Other c library searches that you
could use include bsearch (binary tree), tsearch (tree searching), btree (b+ tree). 
However, the easiest and most obvious one to use for elog appears to be a simple hash
table search (hsearch).

Is there something else  which is making this difficult to do?

Now it works. Updated elog version under CVS and as a snapshot (see Download Page)
