I’d like if holding down the right/left arrow acted for multiple strokes – at the moment if you hold it counts for a single hit. Changing this would make it more user-centric IMO.

Good luck with the project.

Also, yes the author should be able to pick which links open in a new window.

In other words: the author is, most of the time, the user, and decides when he will spawn a new window. Obviously, when you create your own presentation, you can choose to not mark any of your links as external, and handle the “reset avoidance” problem your own way. Granted, if a presentation is put online for public consumption, the spawning may be inflicted on others. For those who really dislike spawning, there are the solutions you documented. Theme authors could also distinctively style external links if they like in order to provide some warning. Perhaps I’ll add a class to any external link so that IE/Win will be able to style such links.

Remember, the goal of S⁵ is to provide a lightweight presentation solution, not to be a well-behaved (for certain definitions of “well-behaved”) Web denzien. Its primary use case is to be operated by the file’s author on a known machine with a known resolution. The only reason I added font scaling was to account for unexpected projector resolutions (“Oh no, I wrote this for 1024×768 and the projector only goes up to 800×600!”). It had basically nothing to do with the variegated nature of user agents on the Web.

Matt: no, those won’t show up in IE/Win, because it doesn’t support generated content. It doesn’t have to, since as Lachlan pointed out, those class names are diagnostic– they help me see how the JS is altering class names on incremental slides– and won’t appear in the final version.

The CSS would have been more straightforward if the controls div were outside the footer, structurally speaking, instead of inside it. Theme authors: would it be a major problem for you if I move the controls div out of the footer div in v1.1? If it will be, or you aren’t sure, say so and I’ll push the change off until later. I think it’s going to have to happen eventually, so if you can make the change easily, it seems to me that now is the time to do it.

So, there’s no way to go back to the slides without going back to your blog entry and reloading the testbed.

This is not how it was before, is it?

WysG: Hm, yes. That was unintended, and will need to be fixed. Great catch!

Step To Reproduce (in IE 6 and Firefox 1.0 on Win2000) :
- Load the testbed
- Right Arrow (or Click) twice, now your at the slide “Operatic Origins”
- Right Arrow once, now you have highlighted “Allows a single XHTML document to be turned into a PowerPoint-like slide show”
- Left Arrow once, now you’re back at the slide “What Is S5?”
- Right Arrow once, you’re at “Operatic Origins” with “Allows a single XHTML document to be turned into a PowerPoint-like slide show” highlighted
- Right Arrow once more, the “Adding screen and print style sheets allows for multi-medium views of a single document” should be highlighted but instead it’s still at the first one, you’ll have to Right Arrow once more to get to the one you intended

You can do the same thing slide 3 so I don’t thins it’s related with psf

function popup(url) {
window.open(url);
return false;
}

<a href=”http://www.mydomain.com” onclick=”return popup(this.href);”>my domain</a>

… not exactly what you’re looking for, but it’s a start.

Some long quote with a lot of text text text text text text.

— John Doe

I currently am doing by using a div with a “quote” class, and then within that having another “attribution” div with a cite element. I’m thinking there’s likely a more elegant way, however. I’ve seen a few things on the web, for example, that use some clever CSS to take the content in a blockquote cite attribute and render it after the quote. I don’t have the url handy, but can dig it up later if need be.

Oh, BTW, it’d be nice to have a preview option on comments. Am not sure how this is going to render.
