Nothing happens when I click on any of the fold/unfold buttons. Still, the idea is very nice! I suggest you try it with a newer version of Konqueror --Bill Page, Wed, 13 Jul 2005 08:30:39 -0500 reply The current versions is 3.4
MathActionTabs? contains another example of the simple javascript
content folding tools to implement tabs in the browser. I have
tested this with FireFox? 1.0.4 and IE 6 sp2 on Windows XP and
it seems to work well. I would like to receive reports from
other users about how this works (or doesn't) on their systems.
(Please include a detailed description of the software and
operating system.)
I would also be very interested in your opion about the new "point-and-click" features in the comment box. Everything that you see in the grey box at the bottom of the page, above the comment box, is "live" and can help with editing - especially for new users (I hope).

implement tabs --William Sit, Thu, 14 Jul 2005 18:02:48 -0500 reply Hi Bill:
MathActionTabs? ran fine. Nice tabs. Can the tabs be placed vertically, like on the left side of the window? That way the number of tabs won't be limited by the width of the screen (although of course one can also scroll horizontally, but vertical scroll seems more tolerable, to me). I am thinking these may be nested to become something like the cell/group brackets in Mathematica's Notebook. (The html code would become quite unreadable. Are the table tags manually generated?) The point and click features: some symbols (like Sigma and Paragraph signs under Latex column) not working ("error on page" for IE 6.0.2900 and just nothing happens on Firefox (Windows XP SP2)). Most of the time, it is the LaTeX text versions like \alpha that is pasted, not the actual symbol (the \circ is an exception). I am using: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041107 Firefox/1.0. William Yes the tabs could be placed vertically. The software that makes this possible is very basic and flexible. All that it does is associate some graphical object on a pages as the control object for some other object. The objects can be anywhere on the page and can refer to each other.Yes the table structure (at least the control connections) must be entirely coded manually. But this is not a very difficult problem. Of course the page layout itself can be designed through some gui page creation software. Please take a look at the HTML coding in the MathActionTabs? page
using About the new "point-and-click" interface (which I have decided to call MathAction Assistant): You probably started testing this before I was finished installing all of the functions. See the MathAction Assistant Help page for a few more details. What you call the \circ symbol is actually the LaTeX lowercase
Greek letter omicron which as far as LaTeX is concerned is exactly
the same as the letter "o". Of course it is the purpose of the
MathAction Assistant to insert the actuall LaTeX commands and also
some Axiom and Reduce commands for editing. MathAction will convert
these back to symbols when you click Nore: I have note yet finished adding the Reduce commands. That will take me a few more hours later this week. Regards, Bill Page. #192 Folding does not work in Konqueror 3.1.4 Using folding to
implement tabs --Martin Rubey, Fri, 15 Jul 2005 02:22:45 -0500 reply Tabs don't work in Konqueror 3.1.4 either. Furthermore, it seems to be very
difficult to upgrade KDE for me. It is reported, that the scripts from
DynamicDrive? don't work well with several browsers...
Concerning the "point-and-click" features in the comment box, I think that the grey box is becoming a little crowded. But I don't mind so much... I had another report concerning the "inconsistency" regarding comments referring to previous results. Namely, previously loaded libraries are not available when the comment is added. I think that it would really help if a changed page is recalculated in any case... Martin Strange enough, since you changed the grey box yesterday, it doesn't work on Konqueror 3.1.4 anymore... It did work before (I think).Martin Martin, could you take a moment to describe in a little more detail what you mean by "doesn't work on Kongueror"? What specifically is not working? Can you point and click to add commands? Is it just the "unfolding" of the menu that is not working? In the case of browsers that do not work with the unfolding, they are supposed to be able to "degrade" gracefully so that you can still use them but they just are not as nice as with a supported browser. When using Kongueror is the Assistant menu (grey box) of any use to you at all?Do you think it would be worthwhile for me to install Konqueror on my linux system and see if I can solve the problem? The kind of things I am doing with javascript here are very basic and it should be possible to make this work on almost all modern browsers. The problem usually is just minor variation in function calls.
