Right, that's the only way. I would call this "permanent fix" (;-) |

Ok, I think I see now. I was assuming it applied to the entry form as well.
Thanks! |

In the Entry form I am thinking, as this is when most people need some help.
Perhaps the user could be clued in with a "Mouse-over each attribute for Help"
COMMENT at the top.
As for the PDA, no, it's just that some people around here get confused if they
have to scroll down. Not a big thing . . . ;-> Hmmm, PDA . . . |

| Steve Jones | steve.jones@freescale.com | Bug report | All | 2.5.3 | Possible Formatting bug: Summary view |
I've run into a situation where the SUMMARY view of a logbook will extend
beyond the righthand border, thus requiring the user to scroll right. This
does not occur in FULL or THREAD mode. Long lines in the TEXT attribute
appear to be "pushing" the display too far to the right. Limiting the
number of displayed summary lines works unless the first line is too long.
A temporary fix for this is to set summary lines = 0 |

Where should the tooltip appear? In the entry form or when an entry is
displayed, or even in the tabular listing? I can put a title arround the
attribut names such as
<div title="Please enter some subject here">Subject:</div>
which gets interpreted by most browsers as a tooltip. However it's not
apparent to the user that leaving the cursor on top of "Subject" opens a
tooltip, especially since the cursor is displayed as the text cursor (vertical
bar), not as an arrow over the attribute. Do you have a link to a public web
page which uses tooltips?

Aiming for running elog on you PDA? Let me know if you succeed... |

Just have a look at elog:571 which should answer your question. Also look at
elog:Config+Examples/4 which is the configuration of this Forum (which as you can
see has all attributes in a single line, even using different fonts). |

Using the COMMENT feature to add guidance to an ATTRIBUTE works great, but
is it possible to add a TOOLTIP <ATTRIBUTE> = so as to save screen space?
For a complex entry form it is desireable to try and have everything in a
single window and this, I think, would help.

| Steve Jones | steve.jones@freescale.com | Question | All | 2.5.3 | Question on how "Format <attribute> = " works |
It is not clear to me how "Format <attribute> = " works. At first I thought
it would allow me to rearrange how attributes are organized on the html
"page" using
# <flags> Sum of following flags:
* 1: Display attribute in same line as previous attribute
* 2: Display radio buttons or check boxes in separate lines (if applicable)
but this does not result in any behavior that I can see. I must admit that
I am not sure what "Values used for single message display page:" means.
My goal is to provide a more compact page, taking small attributes and
running them across the page rather than straight down.
Thanks |
