SWAT wish list

yes, but to do that we need to start using JavaScript. So far I've
been trying to avoid anything but plain HTML-3.2. 

Is anyone on this list a JavaScript programmer? Could they show me how
to add a bit of stuff so that a page auto-refreshes every minute? It
must also work as it currently does on browsers that don't do
JavaScript.

hmmm, yes I can see why that would be useful. I do like the new
behaviour by default though.

How about a "-a" switch to testparm that views all global settings
(like before) and a button (a bit like the "advanced view" button) in
SWAT that does the same. Does that sound ok?

yep. We should probably also update the man page :-)
