It's an idea that I originally had at the start of the course and
haven't got round to implementing. It's not trivial, but it's not
horrendous. Firstly the document has to be on a server where the
administrator has control - so that I can do this for anything at BBK,
but not at BNL or any hypertrees elsewhere. In principle a new script
has to be written for every document, but I've hacked the script so it's
generic. (If you look at http://seqnet.dl.ac.uk:8000/bugs.html or
./comments.html - where the course used to be - this shows the type of
thing.) The problem is that when we set the server up at BBK we changed
the server (from NCSA to CERN) and I simply haven't gottten around to
hacking the scripts. In fact the two things that are high on my TODO
list are to reinstate forms and imagemaps.
Please bear with me - we HAVE to get forms working for all sorts
of reasons and this is an extra incentive.
