Re: Minutes: [aapi] UAI TF Meeting Tue 25 Mar 2014

Thanks, Joseph.

I’ve made those same changes to the html-api-map document, though I did lighten the button colour when it is pressed, which seems to help in differentiating the states visually:

Will be interested to learn what your designer co-workers said.

Also thanks for the info regarding the jQuery loading, the regex, and the “removeOnSave” PR. I’ve equally made those changes to the html-api-map doc.

Cheers,

Jason

The tooltip reflects what will happen if the button is activated -- at this point, it's "Hide column".  Pressing a button is thus a command to hide the corresponding column.  After it is pressed, the corresponding column vanishes, and the button appears in the "down" pressed-in position.  The tooltip is switched to indicate what happens if the button is pressed again -- "Show column".
