1813 -
181301 - Follow up ref SDS 11 0000, ref SDS 9 0000.
181302 -
181303 - Changed code to use the SDS record description as the web page title,
181304 - so it would provide some navigation information using the web browser
181305 - history feature.

181701 - Netscape Works Better than MS Internet Explorer
181702 -
181703 - This objective seems to work pretty well in Netscape.
181704 -
181705 - With Microsoft Internet Explorer, it does not work as well. Typically,
181706 - SDS records start at the top with a summary.  When something in the
181707 - summary is selected, IE browser changes the display of the title field
181708 - to the address of the link in the summary.
181709 -
181710 - The history list now shows a progression of SDS records with
181711 - descriptions and the dates are in the URL column.  IE, however, does
181712 - not show the URL address, so you cannot see the date.
181713 -
181714 - This makes the history or map list similar to the SDS diary which
181715 - shows the record description.

1820 - Problem
1821 -
182101 - Intelligence Overwhelming, Needs Identification of Location, a Map
182102 -
182103 - Follow up ref SDS 11 2286, ref SDS 5 0608.
182104 -
182105 - We have produced a means to deliver "intelligence" on the Internet,
182106 - per planning on 971021. ref SDS 1 9999  But, possibly now confront
182107 - the Faustian bargain of having to make adjustments with the result.
182108 -
182109 -     [On 991108 legend of Prometheus indicates people in the beginning
182110 -     were not terribly pleased with his work of providing the light of
182111 -     knowledge. ref SDS 13 5810
182112 -
182113 - This requires developing some navigation support, so people have a
182114 - sense of where they are, where they have been and how to get to a
182115 - particular record.
182116 -
182117 - On 980824 Max Wideman cited need for maps to navigate the links in SDS
182118 - records. ref SDS 7 4920
182119 -
182120 - On 990209 Trellix has a map system for links. ref SDS 12 7203
182121 -
182122 - This is generally available in the "history" feature of a web browser,
182123 - although it may not be as elaborate as the Trellix mapping system.

182125 -      History in Web Browsers
182126 -
182127 -          Click Communicator, Tools, History, or Ctrl H
182128 -
182129 -          Click on "History" in main tool bar at top of screen
182130 -
182131 -
182132 - History uses the HTML title command to identify the document.  We have
182133 - been using the following common identification...
182134 -
182135 -                   Communication Metrics, SDS record
182136 -
182137 -    ...as an advertisement, since both Microsoft and Netscape, put
182138 -    their name in this field.
182139 -
182140 - We should be able to make better use of this resource by putting the
182141 - record description in the title field.  This lets a user looking at
182142 - the history of pages visited, select on the basis of content.  Of
182143 - course the content often is broader than indicated by the record
182144 - description, but this will be more meaningful than merely the date.
182145 -
182146 - I am also thinking of using the date, so the chronology is easy to
182147 - see, but the history list includes the url address, and for SDS
182148 - records, that includes the date, so maybe we don't need it.
182149 -
182150 - Turned out it is easy to use the date and the description, so included
182151 - the date for SDS records.
182152 -
182153 -
182154 - What about documents?
182155 -
182156 - These are less structured than SDS records.
182157 -
182158 - We need a standard way for conversion to HTML to grab a date and a
182159 - description.
182160 -
182161 - We could use the letterhead for correspondence, and the date, and the
182162 - subject.
182163 -
182164 - Some documents do not have a letterhead nor a subject.
182165 -
182166 - We can create a convention to enter a document ID string, that the
182167 - code will use in the Title.  This is a little more work for the user
182168 - to create a custom description.  Can we get a standard way to create a
182169 - title, if the user does not remember or have enough time to create
182170 - one?
182171 -
182172 - Every document is identified by date.  We can get this with the new
182173 - feature Morris created on 980722 to read the file name. ref SDS 6 6240

182504 -
182505 - Line 950, ref OF 2 5763, -label 02, added code to post the date and
182506 - record description to the title field.

182512 - Follow up ref SDS 9 0089
182513 -
182514 - Line 300, ref OF 1 1382, -label sav2, about 10 lines below, is where
182515 - the title is created.
182516 -
182517 - It has code to use Gensler for the title, which was created on 981010.
182518 - ref SDS 8 3622
182519 -
182520 - Today, will eliminate this and get the date from Morris' filename
182521 - command.  Then will look for a title string in the document, and if it
182522 - is not there will use top line in file, and look for a subject.
182523 -
182524 - We will create a convention to look for...
182525 -
182526 -                    @#Title of the thing...
182527 -
182528 -        ...this thing can be anywhere in the file, but typically it
182529 -        would be the top line, or below the letterhead and before the
182530 -        date.
182531 -
182532 -   If this line exists, it will be used for the title, and if not we
182533 -   will try to use the top line in the file, and the subject.
182534 -
182535 - To get the top line of the letterhead, will check line 1 col 1 for a
182536 - capital letter, and if it is there, assume that is it.
182537 -
182538 - If it is not there, will check next line, and if not there will skip
182539 - it.
182540 -
182541 - Will look for Subject: or SUBJECT:
182542 -
182543 - If not there, will skip it, and enter the Welch, Com Metrics thing.
