On the /bubbletimer page, the instructions say:

Hold SHIFT and select two different checkbox in a certain line to select an interval.

This doesn't work for me - I just get the two different checkboxes selected. I'm using Firefox 3.0.7 on Windows XP Pro sp3.

Hi,

At the moment I deployed a brand new Drupal 6.10 on WinXP (Sp3) and FF3.0.7 and for me it worked.
The way it works (sorry if it's too pedantic):
1 - push shift (any)
2 - click on any checkbox
3 - click on another checkbox in the same row
4 - release shift
Did it succeed?

Aha! It does work! It's just a little hard to figure it out.

Agreed - I was using the usual process (click first checkbox, then hold down the shift key and click another) rather than using the shift key for both as in #2.

In retrospect the instructions are correct, but is it not possible to make this conform with normal user-interface standards?

That's true. As soon as I have a little time to add that I'll make a new beta release. But I guess the cbox+shift+cbox is not the only one method I should change on the form. For example now it marks the slots when you do multiselection instead of swapping the state of checkboxes. IMHO the latter would be more useful because if you select a wrong range you can unmark each in the same way.
OR ... implement CTRL-Z. But unfortunately the apple keyboard hasn't got neither CTRL nor the keycode of CTRL.

Anyway, what do you think? Which would be more user friendly?
1 - checkboxes in the selected range swap theirs state (selected->unselected or unselected->selected)
2 - checkboxes in the selected range get marked (any state -> selected, as it is now works)

Hi,

None of the combinations (SHIFT down + click bubble .... + SHIFT UP or click bubble + SHIFT down + click bubble) work on my PC with IE 8, Drupal 6.14 and Bubbletimer dev2.

Any suggestions ?

Hi,

Select a slot in a row. Then hold on shift, and select another in the same row. Did it worked? It expects the last selected slot at the same row. That's the trick.
