I am updating my old database, creating a new F-106 Inventory database. I am taking my old anemic inventory database plus the text-only data from the lineage pages and creating a new database that encompasses all data about the F-106 airframes. www.f-106deltadart.com/databases/f-106inventory/f106_inventory_list.phpI think I have the, look, feel and functionality to my liking now, although still working on certain aspects, like the individual View screen that opens when you click the 'View' magnifying glass button beside each record (working on that today). I used the first few 1956 models as my test records as I was building this, and then went through and updated the rest of the 1956 jets. So, at this point all the 1956 F-106 records should be done, except with the earlier mentioned View screen I'm still working on. As with anything, the more 'details' I work on, the less 'big picture' I see. I try and take routine breaks from a project, then come back later in order to get a new perspective on things, but even then missing things is a given, so any feedback is appreciated.  www.f-106deltadart.com/databases/f-106inventory/f106_inventory_list.php |

Looks good, MOW.
I suspect the "Link" next to the Display box, if checked, will tell you where the bird is on disply.
I, and I know everyone else, really appreciate all the work you do to keep improving the site.
Everything you have done has made it better.
Thank you.

Thanks Jim. The Link is an actual link. Click it and it takes you to the Display page for that jet. The Display checkbox is just confirmation it is on display. |

Very nice! This might be just me, but do you have a name in mind for the final disposition column? Just see there is a "hole" along that top row for it.
Also, I decided to randomly click on the links for 56-0456 just to see how they work, and noticed you have a photo for 57-2456 up for it. I probably just got lucky deciding to click on that tail number, as all I really wanted to do was see how the links worked.
Other than that I really like the new format. Sort of an all-in-one spot for each tail number.

Sort of an all-in-one spot for each tail number. One of those details I was talking about. The color for the text on the non-clickable titles was not set to white so it would display. Yes indeed, put up the wrong photo for 456, just changed it. |
