If you can use Chrome, Firefox or Opera those have the best support for the style elements. I have not done any work to support IE or Safari yet and both are pretty far from the current HTML5/CSS3 standard. I will try to sort that out so it works on all the browsers. Apparently some browsers do not like black background (which is what is actually coded) in some elements. I ran into similar problems on my iPhone. For more about these watches, see Waltham's Canadian Railway Movements Encyclopedia article. It is characteristic of these CPR grade model 83s that the damaskeening on the barrel bridge doesn't match that of the top plate. For those uncommon items not listed in the drop-down menus, the bottom choice could be "Other - See Remarks" Also, the use of drop-down menus would ensure uniformity in the terms used. Having entered the watch below as a Reported Observation, I found the lack of drop-down menus made the process more cumbersome than it would have been had drop-down menus been available. I make this comment in the spirit of suggesting an improvement, rather than as a complaint. The ability to enter Reported Observations that are accessible will eventually "fill in" those runs that Waltham combined in the "gray book" and greatly enhance the usefulness of the resource. My thanks go out to Tom, and all of those who assisted him, for creating and updated and very, very useful resource. Re: Waltham 1883 model 10033659 Canadian Pacific Railway If you see something you think is an error, you can look at either the ledger or gray book page associated with the run of serial numbers in question. I will appreciate any feedback on the design or usability as well as help in exercising the software and checking the accuracy of the current information. I would appreciate users posting their watch in this thread when they enter it into the database and using the URL of their post in the database field. The observation entry form has a field to reference a URL with more information such as pictures. When the security portion of the application is in place, you will need credentials to edit an existing observation. You now have the ability to enter your own information into the database and edit existing observations. I would like to encourage all who are interested in this topic to explore the application features and the information in the database. That URL will change when it moves to its final form. The application that was formerly hosted by NAWCC-Info at my home is now on-line in a new application.
