Hi All,
Web version updates posted. Fixes, speed improvements and new functionality.
Knife steel composition chart 4.51:
Fixed bug in settings dialog. I'd strongly recommend to set default standard to specific choice instead of having All which results in about 6000 names to load.
Specifying default standard reduces page load times significantly.
Searches are run against entire database, so by limiting initial recordset set you are not limiting search scope. Sooner or later I
have to enforce standard choice anyway. Server is having hard time coping with the load.
Speed improvements, during long queries appropriate messages are displayed.
Knife Steel Comparison And Analyzer Graph 4.10:
When displaying multiple alloys, notes are included using the same mouse hover method used in the steel chart. Alloys with notes are marked with * and mouse over displays floating window with the note.
Fixed an issue with duplicate names. E.g. searching X90CrMoV18 will display comparison of 5 alloys, all named X90CrMoV18, but in the table below the graph, click on an individual alloy name takes to correct database entry.
Added support for more flexible URL schema to view individual alloys, e.g. X90CrMoV18 has 5 matches, and url http://zknives.com/knives/steels/X90CrMoV18.shtml takes you to German DIN standard spec for X90CrMoV18, but if you add either country code, or standard code or maker name after /steels/ part, you can specify more precisely which of the X90CrMoV18 entries you want:
http://zknives.com/knives/steels/eu/X90CrMoV18.shtml - for EU specification, where EU is two letter country code for euro union, or:
http://zknives.com/knives/steels/uni/X90CrMoV18.shtml - UNI where UNI is Italian steel standards specification, taking you to UNI spec for X90CrMoV18 steel.
Table below the graph has links defined as above.

If I find reliable lab where I can test steel compositions or decide to hire a designer I might do that.
