Idea [I]when a new version ??
Reply Quote
hi,

so you are saying there will be a new major version named 2011, that's nice, could you please tell us when should we expected to have it ready ??

what i consider that will be very nice to have :
- use ajax/jquery (or other open source libraries) and have xhtml compliant files
- could generate/export desktop application, multi-platform solution, here you will have those 2 possibilities :
* adobe air 2, seems to be good (check this on adobe web site)
* appcelerator titanium (appcelerator.com, open source), seems to be good also

- a better ability to generate/modify themes using css (css3 in some cases)
- not to use frames... (stop with html4)
- propose to use/transform header and footer in word documents into header and footer for the document (as static parts at the top and bottom of the generated document)
- use xml files as database files (or ability to generate sql databases) to be used
- ability to use html5 (look for audio and video tags)...

that's what ideas i have for the moment...may be you will consider them!

i hope other word2web users will give other ideas and you will try as you have done to satisfy us...

keep on working, thank you

bye.

hi,

thank you for the new version, here are my observations :

1. the new GUI is good...even there is not great changes (maybe i expected more lol)...but it's more clear and easy to use.

2. i like the addin "word html clean-up" (you will have to perfect it, so i will enjoy it)

3. the new templates are nice, but there is only 2...i know we can customize them and even build ours...

4. finally you still use frames ?? and you didn't use jquery (maybe not satisfying you ??)...there are nice JavaScript frameworks now (extjs or jquery+jquery tools/ui) to obtain very impressive interfaces using panels (not frames)...check them.

5. add a button in the GUI to let us change the interface of word2web easily (and please add as many languages as possible:  french, arabic,.... personally i could help in translations).

6. about show header it's well working, it's just that i thought instead to be above each main document inside the frame "content", i thought it will be above all the frames, like the footer is under the frames, i mean inside the frame named header or even above that one if possible...

7. the html code generated is not very good because :

a. the addin "word html clean-up" activated works well but...let classes like : class=WordSection1 and class=MsoNormalTable, those class are nowhere in any file...why you do not delete them...as in many times the class is followed by a style which describe the css parameters to be used like here :

table class=MsoNormalTable border=1 cellspacing=0 cellpadding=0 width="100%" style='width:100.0%;border-collapse:collapse;border:none'

or you will have to generate them in a css file where we can change them and them you delete the style so it will be :

table class=MsoNormalTable border=1 cellspacing=0 cellpadding=0 width="100%"

the best thing will be to eliminate those classes and generate a css file include there styles.

b. please harmonize the use of " and ' (sometimes none of them), you see your code should be used with " so instead of having :

table class=MsoNormalTable border=1 cellspacing=0 cellpadding=0 width="100%" style='width:100.0%;border-collapse:collapse;border:none'

it will be :

table class="MsoNormalTable" border="1" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" width="100%" style="width:100.0%;border-collapse:collapse;border:none"

c. you still avoid using xhtml (i think it's because you continue to use frameset), but it will be more nicer to go for the web 2.0 standard

d. your documents did even not contain not any DOCTYPE, also the charset used is maybe based on the language used i think (or detected by the application), why not try to let us choose which one use or make default charset utf-8 (maybe you will have to recheck your JavaScript also if that the case !) as in the case we used two or 3 languages on the same word document it is unreadable, only if the charset is utf-8 and characters well encoded.

more infos :
http://www.utf8.com/
http://unicode.org/faq/unicode_web.html
http://www.meanfreepath.com/support/javascript_charsets.html
http://www.webrichtlijnen.nl/english/manual/development/production/character-encoding/the-web/methods/

8. the application does not make an update of the 2009 to already installed (so it's a new installation), and even the registration details for 2009 are not working with this new version !!!, i hope you will reconsider this...

9. generate files that help for the SEO :
Robots.txt
Sitemap.xml
Dublin.rdf
OpenSearch.xml

check this article it will help you : http://sixrevisions.com/web-standards/5-web-files-that-will-improve-your-website/

it will be nice to let us choose if we desire to generate each of this file (a check-box is enough) in the template configuration (a new section : SEO tools)

10. all the display button (index, search and bookmark, also here add and remove) and the breadcrumbs (not any change) and the buttons in the header frame : home, print , forward and backward are not working on Chrome 6 (latest version) on windows 7 (it's well working on ie8, opera 10.6 and Firefox 3.6.6)...maybe a JavaScript problem ??

that's my first observations and remarks, i will probably (if i found) provide more in the future.

i hope you will consider all those observations and soon will have a nice product

bye.

hi superyms,

Thank you very much for many great suggestions.
1. Use frameless templates changes a lot. We'll release new frameless templates when everything are done.
2. Your translations are welcome, thanks a lot.
3. We will continue to optimize the HTML and CSS.
4. Files for SEO could be done by add-ins. We'll add some later.
5. Local HTML files with frames may not display correctly in Chrome 5 and later. Upload them to a Web Server will solve the problem.

regards,
peter
