A quick post – I know you’ve all been hanging on for the nail-biting finish…well we’re almost there.
After another rainy day full of coding, I have this to offer:
http://www.corourke.vacau.com/index.php
It works – even the dratted php form and date stamp – and it is 99.9% valid.
I’ve had to include the Issuu PDF files in another way – they’re now an image link to the Issuu site, where it can be viewed in a similar way as when the code was embedded. The problem, as I’ve outlined in previous posts, is that the embed code doesn’t validate – the Issuu employees on recent Issuu support forums say as much and that people have to live with it for the time being, which is pretty disappointing.
But I’ve had some success with the Longtail Flash Player – thanks to some fantastic YouTube tutorials and a fresh state of mind, it’s all working. I wouldn’t advise watching it though – it’s a 3 second video with very dodgy sound!
The form works well enough as well for me to live with it, but I am yet to re-attempt to master the Javascript email validation – the last time I had a go it seemed to stop the form from working, and it wouldn’t validate.
So apart from the CSS validation issues I’ve mentioned earlier, all is pretty right to go.
Now to explain myself. I’ve got one day and 3000 words ahead of me…
