Use Firefox

… or, apparently I’m a dweeb who doesn’t test enough.

I just fixed the IE layout problems in 0.0.9, it was as simple as defining a width for the right column in the stylesheet.

But today I learned that Firefox and IE interpret buttons differently – the buttons on the front page of the program send different variables in different browsers, so I’ll replace them with normal text links <a href…. so they work the same. I will post a fixed-up 0.0.9 package later today.

Also, I found that Windows extracts files a little differently than Linux. I expected “Extract All” to create a folder called “truegoal” with a bunch of files in it – instead it created a folder called “truegoal”, with another folder called “truegoal” inside it, and in there are all the files. I’ll check the behavior on my computer to be sure I’m correct, but I’ll probably just end up updating the howto. No need for a ton of nested folders!

Updated 0.0.9 package to appear later, I’ll edit this post when it’s up.

Edit: No new package yet, I’ll get it going sometime early next week. I have a lot of buttons to replace. I’m turning them into <input>s with a hidden input included in the form. I still could turn them into normal links, but I like the submit buttons for now.

Edit 2 (8-1-08): Done, new package uploaded, used links anyway. Should be IE friendly (for the most part, anyway).
