Nearly there...

And a complete rethink on the format of my learning object. Using exe http://exelearning.org/ to collate the commentary and the examples - because it can embed an html page into the page and you can interact with it . Not too hard but I need the URLS up.

Just discovered that what I wanted to happen does work!

Simplified the TW: removed the left hand navigation column and the title because it took up space that was badly needed elsewhere. Did this by changing the stylesheet, so if the title is needed, I can just reinstate it! Also changed the background colour so that it wasn't white.

Why so late? Couldn't do a lot until the Curve repository was launched last Monday. Tuesday - Thursday I was writing a paper on the object. Friday finishing a report for TechDis on Portable Fx and DSpeech http://firefoxdspeech.pbwiki.com/ and away at the weekend. So - set to yesterday. Will I finish it by Thursday? I hope so!!!!

More TW edits

Small changes but giant leaps of knowledge. Used the stylesheet to remove "those pesky 'tagged' and 'tagging' boxes" referred to by Griffmex in tw for the rest of us. Could have easily just removed the relevant divs from the html but that would have been too easy!

Realised that they had to be referred as .tiddler beforehand:
.tiddler .tagging {display: none;}
.tiddler .tagged {display: none;}
Firefox extension Web Developer was a great help here because I could mouseover my page and it would show me the relevant css. Brilliant.

TechDis bid

Great - the TechDis HEAT2 bid was successful! So I have enough money to buy the students in the group a stick so that they can evaluate Portable Firefox for themselves. And the work will get publicity under the TechDis banner. Great. Additional software for the stick looks promising too.
