Update

Still in Manila, been here for around three weeks this time around. So far this year I’ve spent some ten weeks here and each week is pretty much the same as the one preceding it.
Got a really big project going on down here and early next week it’s make it or break it time as the customer is supposed to accept the system. If all goes well I’ll head back home on Wednesday. As I’ve already rescheduled the return flight twice I’d hate to have to postpone it again.

Did some late night DHTML coding a few days ago, mostly to take my mind of work. Updated my Column List widget on WebFX, with improved mozilla support and the ability to reorganize columns.

Also been experimenting some with SVG, Canvas and VML trying to come up with clever ways to use utilize either one of them to accomplish the same thing. Under ideal circumstances all browsers would support the same standards but thats unlikely to happen any time soon, so until then we’re probably stuck with VML for IE, Canvas for Safari and SVG for Mozilla and Opera.

    Hi

    This is my first reply on this site.

    Don’t know if this is the correct place to post, but here goes nothing.

    I have been looking for en improved spellchecker for a while. One like yours that checks AJAX way. Yours seem really good, but of course needs improvements/error correction. Are there any update comming up in a near future? Really hope so. If not, do you know of some script on the web, that I could use. Must be with formating enabled.

    Hope you’re well and that project in Manilla is going well. We miss you here.

    Merry Christmas!

    Thanks. Just finished the first phase and got home. Will head back down late January again though.

    Merry Christmas to you too

    I have developed several components using the canvas API. It looks great but the printing comes out scaled much smaller than the display. If you go to some of the canvas examples and print preview, they look great. but when you print them, the printer reduces the canvas images to a very small drawing.

    Is there a trick to printing the canvas images the correct size?
    tks,
    ted
