New Scripting News
- Last night I flipped the switch and deployed the new version of Scripting News. I said in the inaugural post that on Sunday morning I'd start to make a list of all the things that were broken. It's a good thing I put that disclaimer in there, because there's lots of stuff that needs attention. :-)
- I started this post so there would be a place for people to comment on problems, and to suggest solutions. There are lots of people who know more CSS and JavaScript than I do. Your help is much appreciated.
- #### Problems
- 1. When you click on a permalink (example), the top of the item is scrolled off the top of the screen. This problem is caused, clearly, by the fixed navbar.
- 2. The social media links that are supposed to appear in the right corner of the navbar are not visible. I tried playing around with everything to figure out what the problem is.
- 3. When you use a permalink to go to a headline that has no subs, it erroneously puts a down-pointing wedge adjacent to the item, on the wrong (right) side of it. Example.
- 4. It looks terrible on my tablet. Looks great on phone and desktop.
- 5. In the preliminary docs I refer to the type as noteblog, but in the code it's called a stream. Noteblog is a better term. But the software wants me to call them streams.
- 6. The Stories menu is all kablooey on the noteblog site. This is because everything is a story, which is not cool. :-(
- #### Remember
- It's even worse than it appears! :-)
