A couple of years ago I compared about eight different thesaurus 
management apps and the best I found was Term Tree [1].  I used it for a 
project and it did a fine job, except that it's a single-user system and 
not designed for multiple people to manage a thesaurus from different 
locations.

I don't know how the scene has changed since then, but I would recommend 
seriously considering just writing your own web-based system in Perl 
(maybe with Biblio::Thesaurus) or some other scripting language, if you 
can.  Thesauri have simple structures it wouldn't be hard.

aligning divs horizontally

Dear Web4Lib colleagues:

  I'm trying to align three div boxes in my site horizontally - Layer3,
Layer4, and Layer 5.  One - called "Layer3" appears more out of line than
the other two, but i want to make sure they're all aligned horizontally.

  I would appreciate any suggestions.

the html url is:  http://www.westchicago.lib.il.us/R/stuff/chatt/wcpld.html

the css is: http://www.westchicago.lib.il.us/R/stuff/chatt/wcpld.css

just fyi - the javascript is:
http://www.westchicago.lib.il.us/R/stuff/chatt/wcpld.js

Thanks very much.

Sincerely,

RE: aligning divs horizontally

I looked at the postition absolute statements in your .html file and made layers 3 and 5 top:141px; and layer
4 top:125px;

and it lined up pretty well for me. I'm using Opera though. YMMV 

I don't know a lot about css but, I do know that trying to get divs to line up pixel perfect in all browsers can
try your patience.

RE: aligning divs horizontally


This worked for me.

Optionally, position the body to set the context of subsequent
positioned elements:
body {position: relative;} 

Change the top position of layers 3, 4, 5 to:   top: 164px
They will be positioned absolutely, relative to body. 

Remove the top margin from layer 4 to make the library image line up:
#layer4.content {top-margin: 0;} 

Hope this helps,
Araby

Re: Thesaurus Management Software

The software we're testing for a thesaurus for the PrimateLit database 
controlled vocabulary is dhtmlxTree: http://www.scbr.com/docs/products/dhtmlxTree/

It's opensource for the standard edition. There is a commercial license as well 
for a professional edition.

So far it's looking very good, but we're not production yet. I don't get the 
impression that it was at all difficult to implement, but I wasn't really 
involved with the choice.

Hello,

I was wondering if anyone can recommend either open-source or commercial
thesaurus management software? We're developing a controlled vocabulary for
our catalogue and looking for a tool to create our own thesaurus.

Thanks!
