The prototype should be online this month

The "Image Zoomer" has been reworked a little bit: there is a small timeout at both the mouseOver and the mouseOut events. Now it also Downloads a bigger image when zooming (higher quality), so its more than a simple zoom that would use the same image but just resized (low quality).
All business cards are now rounded top and bottom, that simple design change makes an enormous difference, so much that I am wondering why did not I try that earlier? It's so much better.
Nearly all the code is now generated from jSon data, but the generators still need more work to make them fully fool-proof for production. Also there is a trick to make the search-engine work: all words (with the possible exception of common stopwords) must be enclosed in html tags: <i>"word"</i>, this should be implemented today.
The new HTMl structure is very strict, this has the advantage of making the precise indexing easier, so much that it can be done with basic javascript, no need for big stuff like jQuery or other behemoths (they are good, but sooo big that I would like to lessen their use to get a even faster page load). It will be possible to index each informations in the business card more precisely, subject by subject, so searches would compare adresses with adresses, summaries with summaries... Now each search is global, a search on the summary also searches in the adresses at the same time it looks at the title, the phone number. That will be implemented later since the actual search method is quite good and there is more need for making pages for other cities than Montreal.
