Kasterlinden Signpuddle

Tue Nov 20 17:51:34 UTC 2007

Hello everyone,

thank you Steve for fixing the problem :) 

I have worked with signpuddle on firefox. It works very well.

I do have one observation.
Before, when I worked with Signpuddle, I could choose the number of signs I wanted in one vertical column. Now I think I can get about 5 or 7 in one space. It only becomes a problem when I want to copy this in a document to print. If I want to add a sign at the bottom it's not possible. The former signpuddle could work with each sign individually. (I hope everyone understands what I mean)

Val already told me that WORD is not the best way to make documents with SignWriting sentences.
I put in an example of what I make for the kids. You can see how I make an exercise.
I do this by translating in signpuddle via the 'translate' section.
I do remeber Val sending me information about signtext and firefox.

With this exercise as an example, can anyone help me how to make this more effecient?

thank you,

with kind regards,

Kathleen

The problems is that almost all browsers do not support the standards that underpin the Internet properly. The aim of Wikis is to provide people with information in their language and it is for this reason important to be able to reach out to everyone. So I am really happy that MediaWiki is tested on almost all browsers continuously. What I have found in the Wiki world is that the editors often prefer to use Firefox over Internet Explorer. That is to be expected. What you also find is that the number of people using Firefox as a user is much higher then what you would expect given the "official" numbers of people using whatever browser. I am really happy that SignPuddle supports Internet Explorer !!Thanks,    Gerard

SignWriting ListNovember 15, 2007Hello Steve!Thank you for going to the trouble of figuring out why Internet Explorer is not following the world standards on web browserfunctionality...We are very lucky people to have your unendingtechnical support...Steve told me today that there is a world agreement about certain standards on how web browsers are supposed to function, and thatMicrosoft did agree to those standards, but did not change InternetExplorer to match those standards...So now, Kathleen and Sara in Flanders, you can use Internet Explorer, since Steve did fix the problems, but it still will always be betterif people use Firefox if possible.Firefox is faster and SignPuddle is designed to work with it, firstand foremost.If there are any other problems in any other browsers, please tell us everyone...Today Apple sent me an update with the new Safari web browser, whichcomes standard on all Macs, and it works very smoothly withSignPuddle...a little faster now...we have never had problems with Apple when it comes to standards...Glad you enjoyed this information about Microsoft, Gerard!What web browsers do you recommend in the Wiki world? Firefox Iassume? ;-)Val ;-)
