Easier to edit and make changes if for nothing else. I do use some inline styles in scripts, but I try to make sure it's valid anyway :) I agree, an external CSS is better.

In addition to the complete removal of all JavaScript, I added a dynamic menu of all the pages. This part was hard since the files don't have zero before the number on pages 1 through 9, the sorting of the array was a challenge. I figured it out, though. I also moved the data line to the top of the page to place it in a better position for certain users. I changed the error line be in the same location. I made a few other changes, all minor stuff. I didn't change the configuration --- didn't add to it, nor did I remove anything. I did add a file to the motor to handle the navigation. I'm pretty happy with the changes. What do you guys think? <strong>Nuther Update:</strong> I modified the styling a bit :) Update: Well, I did another update.

I did two things actually, but only one was on my list. I did away with the <code>history.go(-1)</code> JavaScript so this application uses no JavaScript whatsoever. It wasn't needed so I did away with it without affecting functionality. Now that same functionality is available to those who don't support that language. The second thing I did was offer a "Jump to Content" link. Hopefully it's cool. It's just a down-arrow, <code>&darr;</code> (↓), with a title attribute. Well, I just did one update on my list.

I did consider it but didn't follow through with it but I suspect I will be the next build or version. Thanks. @Marco: I could quite easily. The only JavaScript is used for the back button on the Help page, but as you can see by the link <em>text</em>, the system knows where you came from (using PHP for that), so the scripting is actually already in place. In fact, in hindsight, I don't know why the heck I just didn't do that in the first place and remove the JavaScript altogether. :oops: This is now on my list as well. My punch list, thus far, has three items on it: <ol> <li>A complete page menu of some sort.</li> <li>Do away with the JavaScript entirely.</li> <li>Count the available pages automatically <small>(it's a config variable now)</small>.</li> </ol> Thanks for the feedback guys. @Elliott: Thanks :)

My punch list, thus far, has three items on it:

  1. A complete page menu of some sort.
  2. Do away with the JavaScript entirely.
  3. Count the available pages automatically (it’s a config variable now).

Thanks for the feedback guys.

You must have put a great deal of work into this. Very good! I really dig the CSS tutorial! The AutoRun tool is something different. I haven't seen anything like this before. Do you think it will be a lot of work to get it completely JavaScript-less? It's very cool :) Hey Mike.

I like the simplicity of the CSS tutorial, as it encompasses alot of basic items that pages and sites should have, as well as how to correctly get them functioning. Good job and thanks for all the hard work! Very nice!
