Jason: I’d like to see the code. Send it on over to me via e-mail; my contact address is on my personal page.

I don’t know if you seen http://www.solitude.dk/archives/OperaShow/. It is kind of simple, but a nice way quickly to get a list of shows, and it supports both Opera and S5.

The Font Size does scale on Load and on Resize. The behavior can be controlled ( stopped ) in the meta tag ‘ displayControl ‘.

I have added one more Slide with a little bit more explanations.

See what you can use from it.

In the upper right corner is a menu to choose a theme.

Quick jumper window, theme menu and controls are created depending from the value in the metatag ‘displayControl’. ( menu,themes,controls )

A little enhancement: if one click in the left half of the window it goes back ( and forward in the right side ).

But perhaps i do missunderstand that feature.

BTW, for a end user, to creating such JS file, a dedicated automation tool (probably in EXE or similar format) is needed. So decide…

You can add them in the normal way with the link tag. Then Opera and Geckos do have build in the feature to choose a other theme.

To make it more comfortable, it would be quite easy to read out all link tags, check them for the rel attribute, and then create dynamically some other little menu to choose one from the avaible themes.

- in the head: <meta name=”displayControl” content=”menu, controls” />

- in the onload:

var metas=document.getElementsByTagName('meta'), meta, i;
for(i=0; meta=metas[i]; i++) {
if(/displayControl/i.test(meta.getAttribute('name')))
doControls=meta.getAttribute('content');
}

where the doControls is global.

Then you do ( or do not ) create the control elements ( if(/menu/i.test(doControls)) /*instruction */ ).

Fabian: I agree that it would be nice to have incrementals work in Opera. The problem is that Opera Show doesn’t use the S⁵ events to switch slides. It just does it. If there is an Opera-friendly DOM event that indicates a move from one slide to another, or some way of detecting the switch (and preventing Opera Show from jumping slides if there is incremental work to be done) I can very likely make the incremental display work in Opera as well. If not, then someone will have to work through all of the DOM problems Opera has with the actual S⁵ routines and fix them without breaking things for other browsers, and then we’ll just bypass the built-in Opera Show altogether. I’m not, at this point, particularly motivated to do that. What I will do before 1.1 goes final is make sure Opera doesn’t get stuck with faded-out slides that can’t be incrementally displayed. That’s something to handle in the beta phase.

Nico: Thanks for the feedback.

Christian: my thoughts for the control-display problem run along similar lines. As for alternate style sheets, I’m hesitant because that means the choice of alternates is hard-coded into the presentation, and if the HTML is passed on without all the themes then the mechanism breaks. Unless I’m overlooking something. It wouldn’t be the first time.
