Also, it produces a page without a title, if there is a config option to give it one, that'd probably be worthwhile if it's low hassle. If you can automate the naming to index.html that's a win too.

BTW, Jammi is keen to work with you to produce a web BOM with configurability built in and the howto doc pieces built in too, so you would select your config and be displayed a BOM and a customised howto guide for your specific config. Sounds cool if you're interested in working with him. I'd like to see that for RavAGE, so this would be good practice.

Done, if it doesn't look correct on your end please screen shot that and post. Thanks. - Checked - see below, it still looks bad.
Done, as much as possible I believe.

Done.

Well that's it !!!

Yay!

I have added a "Coming soon" to the final page. I will continue to work on this and add it in when I've got it working properly.
Jammi's idea sounds great, I would defiantly be keen.

I gave you bad advice! The move to index.html is a fail. if you can export directly to just "index" such that there is "index.htm" and "index_files" then it will be ok, otherwise we have to leave it long and put an index pointing at the log version.

OK:

http://puma.freeems.org/preston.bom/ - fixed! :-)

Don't bother renaming it, leave it as is.

Looks wise:
  • First page, 10k pull up mod "1 x" quantity overlaps the part number to the right.
  • AAP page, "OEM AAP)" hangs out the right hand side outside the coloured bit.
  • RPM page almost looks ok, half the B hangs out, and the 4 touches the M
The correct solution probably isn't resizing cells all the time, it's probably changing to a portable font instead of whatever microsoft proprietary font it has setup. The font has to be available on the machine it's being viewed on. If it's not, it uses something else, and the cell sizes don't change and the text width does... do some research on fonts then select all and change them to something cross platform and make it look OK at your place with the new font, then it should look OK anywhere. Jammi will know a good font to use, probably. But if you can figure it out without asking him, do!

One more correction, remove the http://stuff.fredcooke.com/spin1howto/spin1.html link, which I'm about to delete, and put the http://puma.freeems.org/how.to.guide/spin1/ link in it's place.

Part numbers confirmed to be added.

Last night a components order was placed to complete 5 Puma Boards !!!!! that's a soon to be 500% increase in puma testing pool.

The hard work is starting to pay off :)

Still to be completed are the following.
  • Auto generation of the order tab

250%, buit still awesome, I guess you can not count Marcos's one, as he only idled it for 5 mins at the top of a hill and since then it's been in service collecting dust :-)

Oh, in that case, it's an infinite improvement because mine is just collecting dust right now and will continue to do so for at least a few more weeks :-(
