Protx from start to finish were excellent, plenty of samples to look at, nice integration that avoids the use of query string params to pass the information and superb support. The only downside I've had with them was the payment page customisation for their direct setup or whatever it was -only really allows you to add a logo. WorldPay are ok but I think need to pull up their socks to compete in today's market, their payment page customisation the last time I looked at it however was pretty good. The charges are high and support poor. PayPal to me is still very much eBay dominated, we have used them successfully for B2B trading too however and people aren't as put off as they used to be now that they accept Credit Cards Google Checkout is good but I'm not sure they offer repeat billing. HSBC -don't touch with a barge pole, I'm saying no more :) I can't recall what the "others" were like which kinda says it all really :) >We are looking for ease of use for customers Depends whether they're onsite or offsite payments for that I would say, they're all much a muchness. Some allow repeat billing on a monthly basis without any interaction from the user... >lowest fees, of course. Protx -last time I checked it was 10p per transaction up to 1,000 transactions a quarter and then ?20pm flat fee if you go above that threshold. No other fees at all.

It seems to me "ease of use" is what /you/ make it, since you're the one integrating the payment service with your site/cart/checkout :-) In any case, my only experience is with Authorize.net, and their API doc and support is great. I haven't used it but they do offer recurring billing.

The layout changes dramatically on each page... Right now, it's either table-based, or the CSS is embedded on the page... then when they hired me, I started converting these over to be proper xhtml/css pages. But with so many pages, I am unsure what to do. Do I create a .css for each page, and @include it? Do I just add it all to the main css (which is already 50k...) or do I to the main css and a page-specific css file in the header?

In-Reply-To: Message-ID: Hi Jon, As a developer for a large (2000-odd static pages) local government website, we've broken our css into manageable components (a 50Kb css file is no fun to work with) and @imported them from the main css file. Eg (inside 'styles.css'): ------------------------ /* get required stylesheets*/ @import url(styles-contentTables.css); @import url(styles-forms.css); @import url(styles-mainnav.css); @import url(styles-popups.css); @import url(styles-secondarynav.css); @import url(styles-textformatting.css); /* get print SS */ @import url(formprint.css); ------------------------ My advice to you would be to do the same. 50Kb? Sounds like you may need to cull some redundant rules out of your stylesheet and combine some others into a single shared rule. For content pages whose layout changes 1. get a good idea of the 'family' of changes you're dealing with (you may find there are a handful of different page styles when all is said and done) 2. set an id in the body which identifies the page type 3. create stylesheet(s) which address these specific deviations from the normal site layout / style 4. @import the whole shebang via the main css file (once css is loaded once, it's cached so the initial load will be the only lag). This way whatever page is being loaded will apply the relevant css via the body id (if any) My 2c, Paul From amc at clickwork.net Wed Jun 20 17:59:59 2007 From: amc at clickwork.net (Anne-Marie Carroll) Date: Wed, 20 Jun 2007 23:59:59 +0100 Subject: [thelist] need a photo of a construction crew In-Reply-To: <72E9FAA171D63B48AAC707C72900E6B4D896C5@ireland.spinhead.com> References: <72E9FAA171D63B48AAC707C72900E6B4D896C5@ireland.spinhead.com> Message-ID: <001c01c7b38e$ba559f90$4401a8c0@larsson> Hi Joel, I think I have just what your after as I have been working on this theme recently.

Well, this isn't much of a problem for us since our application is running on IPTV set-top-boxes where we pretty much dictates the available versions of the software :) Thanks, Marcus From lee.kowalkowski at googlemail.com Thu Jun 21 08:07:11 2007 From: lee.kowalkowski at googlemail.com (Lee Kowalkowski) Date: Thu, 21 Jun 2007 14:07:11 +0100 Subject: [thelist] Substitute for arguments.caller?

See if changing to that one makes it work in Opera. It's actually function.caller, e.g. function abc(){alert(abc.caller);}. Although going via arguments.callee is the same difference, but arguments.callee only really exists to support recursive anonymous functions. Caller isn't defined in ECMAScript, and doesn't work in Opera (http://www.opera.com/docs/specs/js/ecma/) or Safari (so I'm told). You can resort to passing in your functions as parameters, not nice. Or before you invoke a function, you can set its caller property, not nice either (it's read-only anyway except for where its not supported, then it'll work, but you'll also be able to set it to something wrong). Of course, unless Opera itself has some native stack-trace feature, but I can't find anything about that. -- Lee From jeffrey.barke at themechanism.com Thu Jun 21 11:40:56 2007 From: jeffrey.barke at themechanism.com (Jeffrey Barke) Date: Thu, 21 Jun 2007 12:40:56 -0400 Subject: [thelist] Using tinyMCE as an Ajax Editor Message-ID: <55FB9A92-291B-4AB7-94AE-8BCF2DF0EBB0@themechanism.com> Anyone familiar with using tinyMCE and loading content dynamically?

The SSI file has to be on the same site as the page it's included in. You can either use a relative path (as in your example of "includes/header.txt"), or an absolute path that starts from the root of the current website (i.e. it begins with "/"). So in your case, assuming your website is http://www.nist.gov/ then it would be If you google for "ssi #include syntax" you should find a few examples.

An SSI-included file must be on the same server; it can't be external (what you're misleadingly calling an "absolute path", which means a path starting with "/", at least to most people). What you want could be made to work if your include was a CGI on the local system that proxied the file you're interested in.

Yes, I noticed. And I have seen somewhere that Mozilla will remove support for it as well (it might have been Brendan Eich that wrote it). Too bad since it's really useful for debugging purposes in environments where you cannot hook up with things such as Firebug.

Agreed on the ugly part. Not to mention that it's a bit intrusive... Humm... we're using our howngrown OO mechanism...

In short, I'm basically "subtracting" a past date from Now. I must pass my params as such: var now = Date.UTC(2007,5,22,0,0,0); // today var then = Date.UTC(1967,6,24,0,0,0); // a past date function TimeSpan(now,then) { // stuff } This works fine, but I can't get the Now to be dynamic. Whipped up a quick little function to generate the necessary string (YYYY,MM,dd,0,0,0) that correctly returns "2007,5,22,0,0,0" function UTCFormatNow() { Now = new Date(); Year = calcYear(Now); // figures out the correct year in 4 digit format 'YYYY' Month = Now.getMonth(); DoM = Now.getDate(); strFormatted = Year + ',' + Month + ',' + DoM + ',0,0,0' strFormatted = strFormatted.toString(); // <-- redundant? return strFormatted; } yet when I try to do Date.UTC(UTCFormatNow()), I get NaN. It seems that I can't use any function or method it Date.UTC(); Can someone suggest how I can get the correct DateUTC for NOW, or how to correctly insert the arguments needed? Many thanks.

Its for a good cause!! I still see glitches in Firefox, namely assumptions about font size that don't hold true in my browsing situation (11px is too small for my browsing situations, so I override it with a larger minimum size). Also, one should *never* do this: { font-size: 12px; line-height: 14px; } font-size can be overridden, possibly to the equivalent of, say, 18px. The result is unreadable (or barely readable) text because line-height is still 14px. -- Shawn K.

Have a look here: http://centralbanks.org/linux/ I made a number of changes to the main stylesheet -- unfortunately, I deleted my change log by mistake, so I can't tell you now what all I changed. Mostly floats, and the addition of some absolute positioning here and there. Also, the above page doesn't resize properly; if you reduce the browser window from full screen, the right column starts to disappear under the other two columns. This could probably be fixed fairly easily... I just don't have any more time to spend on it. Anyway, if you look through 'mainb.css', hopefully you'll be able to pick up some ideas on how to make the site work better in IE 6. -- Brent Eades Almonte, Ontario http://almonte.com From martin at easyweb.co.uk Sun Jun 24 01:14:15 2007 From: martin at easyweb.co.uk (Martin Burns) Date: Sun, 24 Jun 2007 07:14:15 +0100 Subject: [thelist] CSS help for the Linux Foundation In-Reply-To: <467C2EA3.2070609@northxsouth.com> References: <467C2EA3.2070609@northxsouth.com> Message-ID: <3AB5CF3D-DBE8-48E7-8854-A30603685A65@easyweb.co.uk> On 22 Jun 2007, at 21:18, ryan wrote: > You can see how the site is supposed to look by surfing in Firefox to > http://testmediawiki.freestandards.org/ > > Then I looked at the page in IE6/PC and it was *completely messed > up*.

Ryan What you could do is start again from a solid base. Have a look at http://www.positioniseverything.net/articles/pie-maker/ pagemaker_form.php which is a really good CSS generator, with all the IE workarounds included.
