New Concept for selecting gates to rent

StephenM · **on:** March 18, 2007, 11:21:39 am

Just wondering, as part of my developments for Mozilla/Mozilla Firefox (or any other gecko browser) what do you think of this way for selecting airports to rent gates at/get info for?

Note: Internet Explorer Users only get an option to download a file, so heres a picture of what everyone else sees!

very good idea i was going to put somthing like that in the sugestion box. sorting out gates by country makes it easier for you to find out which airports u have done or not done.

when will we see this applied into the game (if succesfull)?

I cant even open the file. (Yes I know its a mozilla file)

It would be soon enough, I just want to apply that to the current gates page (on my offline server) and see what happens.

Not a bad idea at all, but how are you going to implement it? Is it gonna be on the gate rent page itself? Cuz if it is, you might as well use Mochikit and its JSON capabilities

Now Chester, I would have thought at this stage that you would have realised I am not big on non-PHP stuff.

From the other application of it I tested it was simply placed alongside the PHP.

Looks good from my point of view, much cleaner than the old layout. I'm definitely all for it.

Oops, forgot

I'd strongly suggest more custom-based XML. PHP can still read it relatively easily with xml_parser_create() and stuff. Don't worry, I'll let you do your stuff for AM, but in AMO, the structure's gonna be more organized than an XUL version

Also it may be nice to have a checkbox next to the gates so that you could rent from more than one airport at a time because its not very fun to press the back button and reselect everything about 10 times.

As long as the US isn't just US, and we get our states listed, its great.

That may be a part of the upcoming announcement...

Its too late for me. I had to buy gates in over 200 different cities. At least it will help next time...
