URLs too long

Posted by alcrockett on June 12th, 2008

URLs to writeups and other resources are a little gnarly.

Example:
http://isites.harvard.edu:80/icb/icb.do?keyword=k16940&panel=icb.pagecontent274236%3Ar%241%3Fname%3Dindepth.html%2Cicb.pagecontent274235%3Ar%241%3Fname%3Dindepth.html&pageid=icb.page118854&pageContentId=icb.pagecontent274235&state=maximize

It would be nice to see if there’s a way to “pretty-print” URLs so that they’re less than 80 columns long and easier to remember. Hopefully iSites has a built-in way to do this…otherwise implementation may involve hacking the Deployment Descriptor file, which is doable but may take some time.

Gravitational Lens GIFs

Posted by alcrockett on June 12th, 2008

Problem: GIF images for the Gravitational Lens writeup
seem to have been saved to the server as PDFs, and so the image tags point to “.pdf” files.

Example:

Cavendish Experiment images

Posted by alcrockett on June 12th, 2008

Problem: Certain images are not visible in the full description.

Possible Cause: Apparently these are GIF images but the links point to PDF files, so some browsers (except Camino, for some reason) don’t know how to handle images of that type.
