A662636 - 'A study of the tag in GuideML'

Please note:

There is no tutorial for the tag in the GuideMl clinc

is now going to be included in GuideML 1.0


CK

wonderful. i am so happy that it is gonna be included!

It is?


CK

Excellent entry, but as a scout I've one problem... Although might be allowed in normal pages, I don't think it's allowed in Edited guide entries for the moment...

*running off to get some advice on this one*

Its not


CK

Still might get accepted as a Help page though

Not sure about the 'help page' issue either. However, A676965 'Footnotes on h2g2' was accepted!

from the post above mine, i assumed that guideML was including the tag. that is why i was happy

GuideML does not include the Marquee tag. It is a HTML tag which is allowed in GuideML entries. It doesn't work in any browser except Internet Explorer so it is not recommended for anything that you want to be viewable by everyone. This means it is not allowed in any Edited Entries.

Well done, CK .
Good news that the will stay.

Some comments on typo's:
a number of times you say 'peice' where it should be 'piece'.

In the basics: contnuing should be continuing

Creating scrolling everything:
differnet should be different (at least twice)
spealt should be spelled(?) (not sure, but yours is certainly wrong)
hexidemcimal (and hexidecimal) should be hexadecimal


Basic directions:
acheive should be achieve
heres should be here's

Behavior tag
Isn't should be isn't
spealt again

hit the wrong button, someone should put that into a , so hitting it by accident would become more difficult!

There were more typo's but I'll leave some for the others.

Maybe the working of "scrollamount" and "scrolldelay" can be explained a bit more. "amount" is the number of pixels you move each "delay" microseconds.
In the correct combination with "width" you even can create a blinking object. Try
blink

With the "slide" exemple you might use a larger "loop" value, by the time you reach it now, it's already stopped.

"height" and "width" may also be expressed in percent, like "width=50%"

There are even more working attributes, but that's for a real advanced entry.

Now the problem will be, that if a scout recommends it, the edited entry will lose all moving parts
Maybe you should move it to the alternate guide!

Again, a great work of art

more typos: dissapear at the side then reapearing on the right side and contnuing

and there are are others too.

maybe it can be added as an extra page on the guide ML editor or something similar as it is only usable by some researchers.

well written though

i shall book mark it and keep it as a referance

FABT

Whatever, just enjoyed making it



CK

now that marquee is going to be part of GuideML, you should ask about it being a Help Page

oklies how do i do that? I take it its not in peer review?!


CK

CK,
try <./>Feedback-Features</.> .

Failing that, wouldn't this piece make a nice addition to the AGG/GAG project? What with its basic premise being to cock a snook at the rather po faced debate around removing the tag, and the banning of all our pretty little swimming

Oh yes, it *is* still in Peer Review!

More typos (if anyone is interested):

finshed > finished

dissapears > disappears

remeber > remember

ceratin > certain

resoulutions > resolutions

. the second (needs capital 'T')

I'm wondering what's happening with this one. It's a very jolly and most informative entry.

i think it should become a 'HELP PAGE', what does everyone else think?

I tend to agree, although I don't know the technical way of doing that. It should be put to the italics, probably.
