HFSLIP web site comments

That never occured to me before. What you see is "no support" for the zero-width no-break space. Its name should give you a clue about its purpose. If I can't find a usable alternative, I'll just remove them.

KMeleon, Opera and Firefox have no problem.

The problem is only with IE. I've tried to change the encoding manually but it had no effect. Except maybe that the page won't load with a DOS-style encoding.

The site was updated with a new page titled "Important things to know -- please read!" with additional info on IE7, WMP11 and OPUC4 slipstreaming.

nice! thanks TC!

maybe a short note too about HFNetCheck ... oh well, it's in the thread anyways ...

There's a new version of the office update engine, same download link as before. I'm not sure if it fixes the header bug, though.

Wow, good timing! Let's hope it does.

Not sure if this topic is still alive, but instead of having to repeatedly click on "Basic", "Advanced", "Important", or "Special" repeatedly to find all the features, it seems like it would be nicer to have it organized by feature. It would be hard to do though, and possibly this wouldn't improve things. I guess a less drastic idea would be to keep the existing structure, but maybe add a page with an index of features that link to the information on how to do it. (making good use of your #a1, #a2 , etc. anchors)

hi TC! a fews back i printed this website from Introduction to Links ... all printed out fine (without printing the left frame) ... however i tried printing "Important things to know --- please read!" part today as this has just been added, but apparently this time the left frame printed making what i expected to be a single page (to 2 pages max) to 4 pages ... retried it with a different link (this time Complete Changelog which printed in 24 pages) & still the same, frames printed ... i do not recall changing any setting the last time i printed the other pages, links for that matter ... what happened? could the additioon of a new page? thanks!

Kiki---

The only page which has frames (iframes, actually) is the download pop-up; all others are "regular." I will add a print stylesheet one of these days which will hopefully fix your problem too.

Thanks for the comments. I was looking at it from the "beginner to advanced user" perspective when I made the site, and I think using more than one "index" is a little too much. Also, the difference between "Advanced" and "Special" is that the former is for advanced users while the latter is about harmless extras meant for everyone.

The idea is that an expert user only needs to go by the changelog. I was usually very careful about adding links to other pages on the site if a certain HFSLIP update needed more explanation, though this was a problem lately because of the lack of the "Important things to know" page.

The site needs updated, and I'll see if I can improve the structure somehow too.

@Kiki

Better now? You may have to reload just to be sure...

[Kiki Burgh]

thanks TC! i'll try to print pages again & report back ...

[Kiki Burgh]

sorry this took so long ... almost forgot my inquiry here ... he! he! everything prints out A-ok now! are we going to have a .pdf version of this anytime soon btw? no rush ...

I'm not sure if TC wants to implement a PDF mechanism. Perhaps you should use one of these tools in the meantime? You can install PDF as a printer and "print" (save as) a PDF of the page you are reading.

pdfcreator all the way : free (OSS in fact) and working great.

Can we have a link to this?
