To simplify usage, I’ve added a small feature: the text area used to write now automatically expands with its content.

That is you can write write write, scroll bars shouldn’t appear. Instead the textarea and surrounding page should vertically increase in size.

Technically it’s simple, and it works in firefox and IE. If any one happens to test it in other browsers, please, drop a comment!

For info, here is the javascript code (a lot originally comes from ajaxian):

Database upgrade

echarp — 2007-06-18 13:51:11+0200

PostgreSQL has been upgraded. From version 8.1 to 8.2.

This was a test to alleviate some of the load. Due to the choice of the “nested tree set” algorithm to organize the tree of elements, there were transactions failing when trying to insert new elements at the beginning of the set.

The new database seems much much faster. No more failed transactions (for the time being), and the pages actually render much faster. Generally less than one second for the largest one.

That’s good news! :-)
