[Mickaboo Techlist] What happened...

Hi Mal: Thanks for reviewing the form. I'm ging to keep a list of all the input and we can update once we have a consensus--I've sent the file to Michelle Yesney and she has reviewed it. Thanks for catching the spelling mistake-- Also as far as browsers I would like to keep it so we only go back to IE6. Most people who use Firefox are more technical in nature and therefore would know what to do. It works perfectly on IE7 and the latest Firefox. I need testers on Safari, as I can only do screenshots. I will get to IE6 testing, but I have to fire up my old computer for that. But I will defer to the group as to browser compatibility.

As for automatic database entry, that would be good in the long run, but perhaps not immediately. You'll have to check with Matt on that one... but my sense would be to make sure it is all running very smoothly before having it go directly to the database. Should be fairly easy to snag the appropriate fields and create an SQL that first searches to be sure the candidate isn't already in the MBdb, and if not, creates an entry with name, address, email and phone stuff. Nice work! -m-

Is there really a need to support IE6? YouTube is going to stop supporting it, and Digg has been threatening to. Can't we just provide a link to http://hey-it.com/ instead? :-) Wayne Coburn http://coburn-family.net On Thu, Aug 13, 2009 at 12:27 PM, Wendi Whitcomb wrote:

You've got my vote--I hate supporting IE6. But a lot of people, especially older folks, still use IE6. At the very least we should probably autodetect IE6 and put a link to upgrade.

Lets go with a nice notification that we don't support IE6 anymore and a pointer to download Firefox. Wendi Whitcomb wrote:
