HW web page issues

[syrou]

Hi,

I'd like to remark a couple of issues that should be taken care of:

* The web page isn't correctly rendered on non Windows web browsers. Have tried to see it with Firefox/Chrome on GNU/Linux (Ubunutu 10.04), on an Android 2.1 and on an iPad (Safari). It is completely unusable on those non-Windows platforms.

* On the download page for the OSTC computer the MK2 version HEX file has it's link broken. Moreover, MD5 hashes of them are lost so it's impossible to check the validity of the downloaded ZIP files.

No, it isn't. Without flash, you just can not access all files provided by the database. e.g. the firmware files. You can get them from the bitbucket repository for example: http://bitbucket.org/heinrichsweikamp/ostc2_code

Should be fine now...

Ok Matthias, it seems that my other systems are not too flash friendly Specially Apple ones who hate it and force the users to switch to HTML5.

I think that maybe the Flash set you are using is very specialized so generic Flash renderers such the ones freely available for GNU/Linux (gnash, not Adobe Flash) neither the Android one, meet the requirements for the browser to render it right.

I`ve just tested it again on the GNU/Linux environment after installing the flashplugin-nonfree package and it works flawlessly.

As a suggestion, I'd introduce some flash sensing code to the main page so anybody and may still have it not installed, do it. The HTML rendering (without flash) makes the web unusable.
