Finnish On-line help (2008-02-09)

[Markus]

Hi, everybody!

Just for fun, (I started to hobby with Finnish Online help for XnView...

Here is the base of the process:

http://www.markus3d.com/xnview/xnviewonlinehelp.html

I am building it for XnView 1.92 and it uses CSS-styles (recommended) and all the menus are from Finnish language.

More details you can see from the file itself, I wrote there in English, what's done today. At least it is some sort of idea for a start.

EDIT (2008-02-09):
For some reason, Firefox's FireFTP plugin does not work (again), and when tried to update the online help, FireFTP overwrited the existing xnviewonlinehelp.html file with zero size file. ...
EDIT 2 (2008-02-09):
After tens of tries, I could get uploaded html-file, but not *.htc.

Thank you for providing parts of the XnView online help in Finnish, Markus!

I've tried out your Online help some days ago and now again. But I have some problems when using the menus: The menus at top open up but immeditately close again when moving the mouse a bit. Perhaps a problem of Internet Explorer?

If I'm not mistaken, Markus uses code from Claire “SuzyUK” Campbell's CSS drop down menus.

Note from Claire at Tanfa: This horizontal dropdown and popout CSS menu uses the “whatever:hover” behavior file. It is available for download from the “whatever:hover” page on Perterned's site. It simply needs uploading to your server (I put it in the same directory as my CSS file) and off you go.

Markus, are you sure you uploaded (the correct version of) csshover.htc to (the correct directory on) your server?

Code: Select all

<!--[if lt IE 7]>
<style type="text/css" media="screen">
body {
behavior: url(csshover.htc);
font-size: 100%;
}

#menu ul li a {height: 1%;}

#menu a, #menu h2 {
font: bold 0.7em/1.4em arial, helvetica, sans-serif;
}
</style>
<![endif]-->

Version 1.41.050927 / 2.01.050927
Added a check to prevent the script from working in IE7 (including any alphas and betas), since :hover will work natively.

Thank you, helmut and XnTriq for comments!

I have to check those things this weekend. I have some other things to do/ solve also related to XnView, which I wish to get done ready also.

I can not surely remember, where I found the css example and tutorial, it might be just that. Some bad sector on my own memory, hehe...

Thanks for those links, I have to try those then.

[offtopic]Recently I have been quite tired because of the work and so on my free time I haven't had enough energy to develop that on-line help, discussing here or on even my own finnish forum on my website. Also my website have loads of problems and things to do and fix, the english part especially is way too outdated, the links broken, etc. During my own forum update I "succesfully" broke my gallery because of its integration with phpbb2 and so on...Today I have again much work, but I think it should get easier.[/offtopic]

For some reason I haven't been successful with htc-file for IE yet and the working with IE was still bad. Also, when tried to update that help, the FTP-connection with Firefox's FireFTP didn't work... Have to find somewhere better FTP ...

EDIT: Now got at least html loaded. Will continue the process and try to get it working with IE, if possible.
