Input Program

[Takamo44]

One thing I liked on the original version of the input page is the list of ALL action codes.

That button will stay. I think most of the problems people are having with the page is the drop down list in the action code box. Helpful yes but it causes some people a long delay before it advances to the next box. I can't recreate that on any computer I try but that doesn't mean it doesn't exist. I did it mainly so you could search for an action code by typing a word in the action code box like invade. It would bring up all action codes with the word invade in the description. However I don't think most people see it as anything other than annoying. Most of the other buttons and such will stay for the time being unless they too are causing problems.

I don't think it has anything to do with the computer. It is more about the internet speed, which would make the pop up boxes react slower, or if you are using the computer for other things at the same time. That might be why you cant recreate the problem. The search function in that action code box is nice.

I suppose internet speed would be a bottleneck now that I think of it as the program has to make a round trip to the data base server, retrieve the data, analyze it and then send it to the computer to display it. All the code is server side so the real lag is the speed between the user's computer and the internet. Okay. That makes sense. Plus I've since found out that microsoft has had a bug in the routine I'm using for years but have not fixed it so that's why you get the jumps around the screen when the action code is entered. So until they fix it I guess it's off limits.
