Re: a little more feedback |
Jeff, I just went "out on patrol" in my neighborhood. Stopped by my Public Library, and hopped on the internet. Their IT Admin is running Win XP on a network. We have maybe 25 general work stations (GWS) there connected "high speed" to the internet.
Their GWS are running Internet Exploder "clone" browsers called, "Free Web Browser." These IE clones used to have the "fly out to the right problem" I've described. That's fixed today.
However, the gdmain650.jpg image still gets bumped down in this browser. When it appears it is correctly left-aligned. But, the gdmain650.jpg image gets located below the bottom of the < h1 > Staff Picks < /h1 > window (right side of page).
For IA's concert web pages, The Flash Player in this browser has a huge, huge, new blank vertical space above the Audio play list. Video player looks and works fine. Audio player works fine.
• the Flash Player there is ver 10,0,45,2
• the browser there is Public Web Browser
- PWB ver 2.10.8 - date is 12-21-2009
Browser Updates and running current Flash Player revisions are recommended. My Opera browser Flash Player on my home PC has ver 10,3,181,14 installed. My Firefox has ver 10,3,181,14 installed. My Internet Exploder browser has ver 10,3,181,16 installed. My 3 browsers are updated.
Go here for Flash Updates in your browser...

Re: a little more feedback |
Continuous audio streaming via on-page Adobe Flash Player still not working. Same as before. Nonetheless, you guys did some nice upgrades.
The HTML Working Group Charter is advancing XHTML development. As I understand it, they decided to form separate subsystems [across the Internet Landscape], and these subsystems have strong overlaps with other design areas.
It is important that:
• the design be modular;
• the specifications be kept modular;
• the communities of expertise of the respective fields (graphics and data) be involved in the design process.
I believe this means the HTML Working Group people are carving out modularity on The Internet's XHTML Landscape by defining a "slice" for Mobile Devices; a "slice" for e-Commerce; a "slice" for Social Networking; etc, etc. I'm guestimating.
Down the road, the HTML Working Group people should also
reserve a "slice" of the Internet's XHTML Landscape for Digital Libraries. This will solve most, and eventually ALL, of The Archive's "browser compatibilty issues." In the near future content delivery over the internet between library patrons and The Archive would best be served by adhering to a new subgroup of XHTML standards. This implementation would be developed, designed, built, and maintained by a Digital Librarian Working Subgroup.
Brewster, Tracey, Jeff... any thoughts?

Re: a little more feedback |
In a perfect world, The Internet Archive will ADD a
PREVIEW Function for their submission Forms. This way Web Designers can easily submit web page designs to The Archive.
I create and submit Forum Posting web pages here. Same thing with the Metadata Editor submissions - I create web page designs for My Items in the Description and the Notes fields.
Web Designers need to Preview their creations before they are submitted as Public Downloads. This is how we fix our mistakes in the design phase, trouble-shoot our bad HTML codes, make page structure decisions, and arrive at the final web page design.
