Looks excellent, great doc, active dev.
I ask because I was deleted to have a hardcore fan of this software ask
why I had taken out the silly sound effects:
That's qooxdoo backed by Lisp, FYI.

I really got a buzz out of this odd alert from your teamalgebra site:
"Sometimes Internet Explorer does not quite work so you have to hit
Enter or PageDown twice before it will listen to you. Firefox, Chrome,
or Safari work better."
I had a look at teamalgebra with IE 9 and
- it responds relatively slowly to key presses
- numbers frequently drop below the field they are supposed to display in
- often the screen locks for 5 seconds or so
- it doesn't look like you can enter fractions eg. 1/2
I didn't read your notes, but "15 --4" equalling 19 seems like an odd
notation.

I would change that to make it sound more like qooxdoo's fault (they
know of the problem but cannot pin it down) but they probably cannot pin
it down because IE is such a wreck, so...

This is weird, didn't we just have a flame war over me needing hours to
install IE8? Now I have to do IE9?! Coincidence or do they do this every
two months?

It's responding for me as fast as I can type. Where are you?

Hunh? What "fields"? The only fields I have are in the registration
form. Do you mean the faux keypad keys?

Sounds like I need to install IE9. Hmmm, wait. I think I also saw that
at the same time I saw the need to bang enter twice. Maybe you need to
take the hint of my helpful alert and install a real browser.

It doesn't look like you did the typing tutorial as suggested as the
first step. :)

I had to use keyboard copy to getthat URL off IE8 because the
right-click pop-up disappears when I try to move to an item... no,
really, why on earth are you using IE-anything? This could be a
breakthru moment for you. I use Chrome but FF and Safari are good.

You cannot type spaces in the math editor, so I do not know what you
mean. Typing 15--4 in IE8 I see "15 - -4" where my spaces exaggerate
what is just a bit of extra whitespace. This looks very much like 15
minus -4 and btw is being laid out by jsMath.
That said, I'd like to see a smaller/higher minus sign, myself. LaTeX is
funny, maybe there is a different minus sign I could use.
Thanks for the report.

Oh, Christ, it's still in beta. IE in beta... is this like different
levels of Hell?

Yes, its public beta 9.0.7930.16405. The full release is slated for
later this year i.e. in two months or so.

Wow, check it out on this site: http://findmebyip.com
IE8 is an absolute train wreck. Over on the Mac Safari, Chrome, FireFox,
and even iCab do great.
It's really sad about IE. I guess MS just does not have the resources. :)

MS seems well aware: http://samples.msdn.microsoft.com/ietestcenter/

Based on their site IE9 cures all. They must have gotten some TARP
money. Installing IE9 later, maybe it will fix qooxdoo's double-enter
problem.
Kenneth Tilton
LMAO: the frickin IE9 /installer/ will not run on a fully updated Vista
system. Sad, sad, sad.

ps. So far I have, OS independent excpet for existence:
Safari - wav, mp3
Chrome - ogg, mp3
IE8 -
FireFox - ogg
iCab - wav, mp3
Thank god qooxdoo does browser sniffing! k
