Description
|
Here's a very simple RFE that would make the JavaDocs output
much more useful.
When I'm viewing a class, I've selected the package in the
packages frame, and clicked on the actual class in the frame for
that package. I usually create many windows, one for each class.
I use the Task Bar (Windows) to navigate from one window to the
other.
It would be VERY useful if the class that I'm viewing appeared
in the title bar of the window. That would make it so much easier
to navigate through the different windows on my screen. I could
just roll the mouse over the task bar, looking at each class name
in the tool tip, then click on the class I'm looking for.
I don't know if HTML lets you do this, but it would make the
javadoc output much easier to use.

Work Around
|
View the class frame in a separate window. I don't like this
workaround, because the two frames on the side are very useful.

Evaluation

The class name is in the title bar only if you have frames turned
off. However, the class name is after "Java 2 Platform" and
so is not visible in the Windows task bar.
One consolation is that if you choose "No Frames" for a window and
then hover the mouse pointer over the item in the task bar, you can
see the class name.
I suggest we shorten the name "Java 1.3 Platform Specification: Class Boolean" to "Boolean (Java 2 Platform SE v1.2)", with the class name first so
it's easier to see.
I wrote Greg Cameron and he sais there is indeed a way in Javascript to
change the window title, but it works only in Internet Explorer, not
in Netscape. Let's use this so the class (or package) name
will show up even if frames are turned on.
See "Suggested Fix".
