The S5 content model is currently flat. However, presentations typically have a hierarchy; they very commonly are divided into sections, with each section break indicated with its own title slide.

I thus propose that S5 allow for a div with a “section” class attribute within the “presentation” div. The first slide within that div would thus be the title slide for that section.

The other — less ideal — option would be to keep the current structure, but to allow an additional “section” class attribute on a a slide div to signal the need for different formatting. I don’t really like this approach myself.

S5 was mentioned in the German magazine Internet World (jeah, very German name, I know). In a two-side article it shows the advantages of S5 in opposition to Powerpoint and basic configuration.

Sadly the article isn’t available for free. A brief summary can be found on the German S5 Website.

Thanks.

Whenever I try to resize the browser window, I get the following error message (and the error message window will not close without shutting down IE through the task manager):

A Runtime Error has occurred.
Do you wish to Debug?
Line: 422
Error: invalid argument.

I apologize if this is a duplicate post, but I did not see this error reported elsewhere in the comments.

External links are not working in firefox on winXP (for example, “Opera Show” on slide 3). They work fine in IE and Netscape 7.2. I tried outline mode and disabling the popup blocker. The external link still doesn’t work in firefox. I could get it to work, however, if I disabled javascript.

Another thing I had in mind is packing it all up under an interface a la WordPress.

What if a trick was employed which would allow images to be loaded only once a ‘slide’ is reached? At present, the entire presentation is run simultaneously. With 3 videos encoded as GIF’s the presentation becomes a ‘beast’ to: 1) load; 2) Run.

Do you know any simple hack so that the onclick event is disabled outside the navigation links ?

S5 isn’t using the onmouseover event for navigation. You probably mean the document.onclick event, which results in a go(1) to move forward one slide.

I’ve been using S5 in my classes. Thanks for the great work.

Though I have a small suggestion: allow the author to enable/disable the mouseover event. Often the audience needs to copy&paste text from the slides and the “on mouse over move next slide” behaviour makes it really difficult.

Are you planning on adding any feature regarding this ?

Regards.
