Also, it's not really necessary, or even a good idea, to combine all JS files into one big JS minimize file for a number of reasons.

It is not good to "over optimize" and little really great comes of it, in my view.

Most sites like this are changing often and there is always a lot of Javascript code to write, modify, change and debug. Creating "mothers of all minimized Javascript files" make things "a nightmare" and it is better to smartly combine them, and that cannot be done by tool because we need to know that we are developing, where the issues are, what is changing, and what is static.

But anyway, I'm not focused on it and it is not on the site development critical path to worry about minimizing more JS and CSS. I have a lot more important functional code to write for the next month or so.

Cheers and Thanks!

I usually combine and minify them dynamically based on filetime, no issue even if you modify or change code it will work.

- create md5 hash of file to be combined and minified based on filetime.
- check filename with above generated hash exists.
- if exists just readfile otherwise combine and minify them and then serve to client.

One more probably you missed, "Toggle Forum Collapse" button plus symbol not changing when its expanded.

CSS frameworks

I have been reading up on CSS frameworks, to see if it could be useful for an intranet that I am helping to build, but the true purpose does not become clear to me. What circumstances would the deployment of a CSS framework be useful in? What does a CSS framework do that a CMS template cannot do?

jifty::plugin::chart::renderer::simplebars

Jifty::Plugin::Chart::Renderer::SimpleBars(3pm) 	User Contributed Perl Documentation	   Jifty::Plugin::Chart::Renderer::SimpleBars(3pm)

NAME

       Jifty::Plugin::Chart::Renderer::SimpleBars - a simple horizontal bar chart

DESCRIPTION

       This is a simple renderer for charts created both as a dead simple way of rendering horizontal bar charts, which can be a very simple way
       of rendering data, and as a prototype for some other work I'm thinking of doing with the chart plugin.

OPTIONS

       Of the rendering API, this only uses the first dataset given and ignores any others. It also fails if used for any type other than the only
       one it supports "horizontalbars".

       It takes the following options:

       summary
	   To maximize the accessibility of your chart, set this to describe the data. This will set the table's summary attribute.

STYLING

       Please be aware that when using this object, you can change the bar color using CSS like so:

	 div.simple_bars span.bar {
	     background-color: black;
	 }

METHODS

   init
       Tell Jifty about the CSS and JS files SimpleBars needs.

   render
       Renders a horizontal bar chart. This is done by rendering a table of HTML values, which is then converted to a bar chart by the Javascript
       added to the response during "init".

       If JavaScript is not supported by the browser, all the data is presented ina table. They can still read the data, but just not in the most
       readable form.
