11:00 thd s/page/results page/
11:02 owen The onload method simply detects when the page is loaded. It doesn't have anything to do with the backend language. All it knows is that the data coming in has finished.
11:03 Since HTML pages don't really "stream," the DOM can tell when the HTML file is complete, I think.
11:04 thd owen: so what does the function called by onLoad need to do to hide the waiting message?
11:05 owen Here's how I did it with the addbiblio template: I added a document.write() to the top of the page creating a DIV that overlays the page with the waiting message. Then I have the onload function change the display properties of that DIV to 'hidden' when the page has loaded.
11:05 It's not ideal, but it was an improvement.
11:06 thd owen: you have an ideal solution as well?
11:06 owen :)
11:07 A better solution would overlay the whole page and prevent the user from clicking anything until the page was loaded.
11:07 I'm not sure how to accomplish that...I've never investigated it.
11:12 thd owen: I imagined that document.write would need to rewrite the page completely.  I assume now that document.write only searches the DOM to replace only the div element to hide it.  Is that correct?
11:13 owen No, document.write doesn't rewrite the whole page. It simply adds what you tell it to wherever you place the <script>document.write()</script>
11:13 Again, not ideal, because inline javascript isn't very pretty.
11:14 However, all of the progressive enhancement techniques I'm familiar with rely on onload functions, so that wouldn't work in this case.
11:16 thd own: yse, unless javaScript can search Z39.50 and OAI servers and parse MARC records for this case.
11:20 s/own/owen/
11:20 s/yse/yes/
11:20 thank you owen
11:20 owen No, and I would never suggest that it could.

06:07 we're planning on using Koha to replace the library management systems for 28 librarys in the east of england..
06:07 Lea we've got that "eclipse" system running here. 3 copies on 3 separate campuses. They want to integrate it all and put it online. Thing is, they use barcode scanners. You know if it handles that?
06:08 lloyd_p01 yeah it does
06:08 Lea 28! o_O
06:08 lloyd_p01 yeah.. its going to be huge :)
06:08 Lea you know if itll use ldap as a backend?
06:08 lloyd_p01 you mean instead of using mysql?
06:09 Lea i'm talking just user auth
06:09 lloyd_p01 koha will use ldap for authentication, but not for the database
06:09 Lea we have a central directory
06:09 oh ok, perfect :)
06:09 so will you be using linux servers?
06:09 lloyd_p01 yup, you have to :)
06:09 which is handy for me, as i'm a linux admin :)
06:10 Lea ok, would you be willing to swap work email ads as it looks like we'll be doing exactly the same setups (almost!) and in the same timezone :)
06:10 lloyd_p01 yeah no problem.. pm :)
