Progress!!!

Two very awesome achievements have happened today. First of all, the sliding divs now work thanks to some hacking by Josh. Secondly, I removed "less significant" information that is displayed when a partial search is done (the age and birthday) in addition to shortening the name "Identifier" to "ID" and "Middle" to "M" to remove a sideways scroll bar because of the excess tabular data.

Currently we are trying to remove the error that displays in IE and Firefox. Here is what the page currently looks like:

Trial and Many Errors

This past week, Josh figured out how to make our divisions expand to accommodate the patient search. When the user types in a partial name or information about a patient they are searching for, the div now expands with the information. We have unfortunately one issue with the expansion.

After a partial search is done and the information is in the div, when the user collapses and re-opens the div, there is a scrollbar.. We still don't know why, but that is an issue we are still trying to fix we just haven't invented the correct google search keyword yet.. :)

Another error that we discovered only reveals itself in IE and Firefox. With IE.. I mean we kind of expected something to mess up, but with Firefox showing the same error, its definitely a concern. It is some type of javascript error. The crazy thing is, we didn't write any of it and when we delete it/comment it, nothing changes.

We suspect that the error lives in another document that we haven't found yet. We found the line that it claimed was causing the issue, but like I mentioned above, changes to that line do not change the error. Below is a screen capture of the error on the page and a close up of the error.

Almost forgot to post..

Me and my lab partner have been so preoccupied with tweaking the jsp in openMRS that I forgot to blog about it. Here is what we have:

The changes include the small logo at the top, the upper right hand help/logout area, the gutter bar, the gutter menu, and spacing issues with the content. Most of the difficulties we are experiencing have to do with finding where everything lives inside the vast depths of openMRS. We've made a lot of progress these past few weeks and I hope to continue along that trend. We should have this page finished by the end of the week.
