Acrobat User Community

My first throught about www.acrobatusrs.com is message board. People can post question to get help from web community. But, when I vist the site. I see blogs and some other learngin materials, not message board. Anyway, this is great move for adobe.

I have mixed feeling about PDF file. I would like people to send me PDF file instead of MS word file, but in the web, I will try not to open any PDF file. I think Acrobat reader is a monster as many reasons.

Web-based Intranet and Internet Information and Applications (1194.22)

Sestion 508

(n) When electronic forms are designed to be completed on-line, the form shall allow people using assistive technology to access the information, field elements, and functionality required for completion and submission of the form, including all directions and cues.

For example :

Accessories :

[ ] Printer

[ ] Monitor

[ ] Keyboard

[ ] Mouse

I believe each checkbox need to associate a LABEL with text on the right side.

MAC OX 10.4.5

Just upgraded from 10.4.4. I still couldn't get IE 5 work. I understood IE was unsupported on MAC. I could open up IE, but "Finder" came up if I clicked any links on IE. That's kind of weird.

I also installed Camino yesterday, so far so good.

JavaScript Graphics Development

The other day, I were thinking how to draw fourier wave by using javascript canvas. At that moment, my assumption was that as long as I could figure out how to draw sin and cos, then I could do that.

Now, I just looked at the site http://davidbetz.net/graphics/ how to draw sin and cos. To draw a wave, it draw pixel by pixel. In this case, I need to work on my math how to calculate intrgral, then draw a fourier wave.
