Hi Steffen,
Yeah, the whole app is a javascript app, so, as you have found, disabling
javascript will completely break the app. Sorry, I wouldn't be able to do it as a
web-app without using javascript (and I don't know much about making native
apps, java applets, or flash-based apps). But I totally understand the desire for
security, so here's all the scripts and what they do (flash is not required by the
way):
Required:
iscopecalc.com/js/calc.js
this is the main script file that I wrote that runs the calculator and controls all of
the interactions and calculations.
http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1/jquery.js
this is the jQuery javascript library (being served from a google content delivery
network), used on about half of the websites on the internet, including google,
amazon, etc.... it is basically just a way for me to more easily interact with the
HTML document. you can learn more at http://jquery.com
http://code.jquery.com/mobile/1.3.0/jquery.mobile-1.3.0.min.js
this is the jQuery mobile library. it is required for forming the interface of the
calculator and is also required. you can learn more at http://jquerymobile.com
Optional:
mathjax.org
this script used to render the equations listed on the equations page. you can
disable it but the equations will look like mumbo-jumbo...
google-analytics.com
basic usage statistics such as browser type and such are indeed sent to google
analytics. however, this is totally optional and you can either block this with
noscript, or, if you like you can use the URL www.iscopecalc.com/?analytics=off
which will not send any information to google analytics.
That said, using Firefox 19 with NoScript installed, I am able to successfully use
the calculator with both mathjax and google analytics disabled (as long as
jquery, jquerymobile, and iscopecalc are allowed). So, if you are still unable to
use it with Firefox after enabling those three required scripts, please email me
directly, as I'd like to figure out what the problem might be.
With regards to laser scanning calculations... I'm not exactly sure what the
purpose of the calculator would be if you had the freedom that a LSM provides
and can set the pixel and pinhole size as you desire. Are there calculations that
are not done automatically for you that you'd like to see included? If you can
just set pinhole to 1 AU and chose an arbitrary pixel size appropriate for nyquist
sampling... what is the need for a calculator?
thanks for writing!
