GETTING STARTED
===============

Simply double-click the "index.html" file. It should automatically load into
your browser. (If not, you may need to use your browser's "File -> Open" 
feature.).

It is very important to use your browser's "zoom" feature to view the diagrams.
For Firefox, Internet Explorer and Chrome, this is done by holding down the
CTRL and + keys. (CTRL - will zoom out, and CTRL 0 will reset to normal.).


BROWSER CONSIDERATIONS
======================

- Firefox 20.0.1 

    Works pretty good. However, when you use CTRL + to zoom a page, Firefox
    zoom's *all* the pages with the same URL. (For example, if you click on
    a couple connectors within a schematic diagram, you'll have two "part" 
    windows open. If you zoom one, both will zoom.). This can be annoying for
    the "part" windows because the SVG drawings are of varied dimensions.
    
    You can change Firefox's default behavior by:
    
        - In Firefox's address bar (where the address of a web page usually
          appears), type the following and press enter:

              about:config

        - Agree to "be careful" when Firefox prompts you.
        - You should see a long list of internal Firefox settings.
        - In the search field, type the following and press enter:
        
              browser.zoom.siteSpecific

        - You should see that single setting with a "status" of "default" and a
          "value" of "true."
        - Double click that setting. It should change to "false".
        - You can now close this window and Firefox will remember your custom
          value.

- Internet Explorer 9

    Prompts to allow Active-X for *every* popup. You can disable this with:
   
    Tools (menu bar) 
       -> Internet Options (menu item) 
          -> Advanced (tab) 
             -> Security (category) 
                -> Allow active content to run in files on My Computer*

    That's relatively safe. If you're extremely paranoid, you could disable that
    option when you're done.
   
- Chrome 26

    This browser gave me a lot of problems. First, fails to open the popups. It
    doesn't even prompt. This can be fixed by addng a parameter to Chrome's
    startup (see below). Next, the zooming was *very* slow. 
  
    (And, at an internal level, it refused to reload SVG files when the
    filename changed. I had to do goofy things to copy the HTML object, change
    the filename, and replace the original object with the new one.).
  
    If you want to use Chrome, you'll need to add a paramater to its startup.
  
        Mac OS:
  
            $ open -a Google\ Chrome --args --allow-file-access-from-files
    
        Windows:
  
            Create a shortcut to Chrome and put it on your desktop. Right click,
            and choose "Properties." In the "Target" field, add 
    
            --allow-file-access-from-files
        
    The path to chrome.exe is probably surrounded by quotes. You should add the
    parm *outside* the last quote.
    
- Safari

    I imagine it has the same issues as Chrome. I believe they share the same
    engine.

If you're aware of how other browsers perform with these files, let me know.
