POS Lister II Open Beta

Jump

My new web application POS Lister II is now in open beta. So give it a whirl.

I must warn you, this will not work in older browser and that will not change. Times are changing for the better so update your browser and keep the web advancing.

It's a Rich Text application utilizing what is now being called by many, AJAX. There are no frames or iframes, yet there are also no page refreshes. Everything happens in the background and the page is updated by your browser without reloading. Basically, it operates much like a desktop application. Hopefully, this results in a much richer user experience when using web application.

This is my first shot at it so I'm sure there are many holes and bugs. So please feel free to point them out to me. And if you are wiser and more knowledgable in these things than me, tips are always welcome.

So load it up and give it a ride. You can click the "View Legend" link if you need any explaining.

In case your wondering what the purpose of this application is. The original motivation behind it was to replace this thing here.

Anyway, here it is.

Enjoy

I might add that it will not be as fun with Opera. But they are working on it so it's just a matter of time.

Romulus

Oh my goodness. This is a 100% improvement over the old version. Cleaner to the eyes and very nice.....I am impressed.

BTW I am the owner of -=MACK=- Miners POS in Greater Arm

Tim

Yup, just as pretty as ever. I could be on the happy leaf, but it seems like it's not quite as quick as it was a few days ago...

Valmagier

Very nice, I like it.

BTW: I am the owner of the -Ferenghi- Val's Place in the Narrow channel.

Hey jump. Little suggestion. If you could somehow add sub categories to the items in the POS (ei: modx, engines etc) that would be super.

I could, but that would add another db call to the remote script. Once I get this AJAX coding down, I may have your browser fetch it after everthing else. That way the user will never know it happened. No promises though. I need figure out the Opera issues first.

Jump

It should function good in Opera now. The only thing is, with Opera, there will be no message written to screen to let you know that the data is being fetch. Which is no big deal when the internet is having a happy day. But might leave a user clueless when there is some congestion and the user is wondering why nothing happened yet. Hopefully, the folks at Opera will get their act together soon.

Real men use Firefox anyway.

Jump

I should point out to my fellow Firefox users why your wheel mouse doesn't scroll the data areas when they have a scroll bar. They are divs not frames and FF doesn't support mouseover on scroll set to auto for divs yet. That is fixed in nightly builds and will be available with the next major release, 1.5. Which is due in september. Minor annoyance for a short time. You'll have to actually use the scroll bar.

Jump

Found a major error today. Clicked on " Flying Doctors Container" in Purian Lake and it's "OOOOPS".

*goes digging around the back end code.*

Jump

So far, I see it happening with 2 hardpoint POS with no modx.

Jump

Ok, all fixed. And in doing so I managed to reduce the code, both server side and client side. Sometimes problems turn into solutions.

Still could use some feedback here. I'm willing to bet there are peeps having problems and they don't say a word.
