Gloss Updated with ColdFusion 10 Documentation
May 16th
On the heels of yesterdays’s official release of ColdFusion 10, I’ve updated Gloss with support for both ColdFusion 10 AND ColdFusion 9 reference guides.
Enjoy!
Share this: IE9 Support for Gloss
Apr 24th
Today I released a major revision to Gloss…it now supports IE9!
One of the reasons I hadn’t provided support for IE9 was because of a bug in ExtJS’s TreePanel, which would not correctly attach events to tree nodes. However, I found a nice workaround (read hack) that resolved the issue, so now I’m pleased to release this app for IE9 users.
One of the things I am pleasantly surprised about is how darn well Gloss operates in IE9. The animations are smooth, the page loading is super-quick, and it’s just all-around a very slick experience.
So if you’ve wanted to use Gloss, but were impeded because of the lack of IE support, now’s your chance to turn over a new leaf 🙂

Quick Update to Gloss
Jan 27th
Based on feedback from several users (thanks to Charlie and Tyler!), I’ve updated the search interface to Gloss a bit. It’s still a work in progress, but this newest fix has resolved the issue of lack of keyboard navigation to search results from the search field. Here’s what has changed:
- You can now tab out of the search field to the first search result, and then tab to subsequent search results.
- You can strike Enter or Spacebar on a highlighted search result to load its respective page
I do have a question for users regarding the “post-load” behavior. Currently, if you select a search result to load a page, focus is taken away from the search result and given to the item in the navigation tree that correlates to the search result. Is this desirable behavior, or would you rather have focus be retained on the search result?
Perhaps I’ll install a new configuration option to give the choice…:)
Thanks to everyone who uses the tool, and please feel free to let me know of any ideas/improvements/bugs/whatever.
