Not really. I have two big issues higher on my list: XML database format and multithreaded HTTP server. From having a quick look to PAM, I was not sure how easy this would be to implement. If it's not too difficult, it could move higher in the priority list. |

Tell you what, I'm looking at two items related to eLog -- tell me to stop if you want:
- forkpty() emulation for Solaris
- PAM support
I'm furthur ahead on the forkpty() - just trying to figure out exactly where to place the code. Once I know it works then I can give it to you to incorporate. Unless you want what I have now and you can work on it.
I've also got quite a bit of reference code for PAM support. A little more daunting. |

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... |

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 . . . |

Ok, I added the option
Tooltip <attribute> = ...
I apply the HTML "title" tag to the whole table row, so the tooltip appears on the
whole line, not only the attribute name. I guess this is much more intuitive. Give
it a try. New version under CVS and available as a snapshot. |

I like the implementation, especially with the tooltip popping up anywhere in the
area. Thanks. |

What about defining an additional option "unspecified". So you have
Roptions attr = option1, option2, option3, none
Whenever you click on "none", the selection is removed from the other options. The HTML standard unfortunately does
not foresee radio buttons not being selected, so I would have to tweak it somehow to get exactly what you want. |

Hadn't realised the standard was written that way.
What you propose seems fine to me.
