===Project Goals===
This project aims to fix reported bugs, extend and improve the available [http://socr.ucla.edu/ SOCR Java applets]. Examples of these improvements are included below.

===Improvements===

====User Locale Specifications of Decimal separators "." and "," ====
In many of the [http://socr.ucla.edu/ SOCR applets], there are user entered values or data. There are difference between the European (",") and the American (".") notation of hte decimal separation. For instance in copy-pasting data in SOCR [http://socr.ucla.edu/htmls/SOCR_Charts.html Charts] or [http://socr.ucla.edu/htmls/SOCR_Analyses.html Analyses] and specifying parameters and cut off in the [http://socr.ucla.edu/htmls/SOCR_Distributions.html SOCR Distributions] we need to resolve the discrepancy between the "," and "." based decimal separators. For example, European users of the [http://socr.ucla.edu/htmls/SOCR_Distributions.html SOCR Distributions] java applet have a problem with specifying numbers with a comma as decimal separator. Yet, entering Left/Right cut off values must be input using a period ("."). Sometimes, the annotation of the cursor at value 8.0 even uses both - period _and_ comma. It would be nice if the applet could use consistently the user-locale specific standard only and be tolerant to different input formats.

====Snapshot functionality====
The snapshot button functionality on many of the [[http://socr.ucla.edu/ SOCR applets] overwrites previous images (using the same filename) without warning. We need to make a "preference" setting that would allow users to select their choice once.

Also, the navigation to the "Snapshot" button using the '''Tab key''' (instead of mouse
selection) requires "Space" key triggering/activation instead of "Enter" stroke. The default tab-based navigation standard is Tab (Traversal) and Space (Selection), but we can add an "Enter" for selection, as well.

		+	====Copy-Paste in IE====
		+	Some tabular data copy-paste does not work well in Internet Explorer (IE). For instance, copying [[SOCR_Data_052511_IrisSepalPetalClasses \|these sepal and petal data]] into the [http://socr.ucla.edu/htmls/SOCR_Charts.html SOCR Charts] pastes all data into a single column instead of the original 5 columns.
		+
		+	One work around is to save the data into a text file like this (and use the File-Load functionality in the applets to load in the data).<br>
		+	<code>
		+	<math>\sharp</math> Sepal_Length(cm) Sepal_Width(cm) Petal_Length(cm) Petal_Width(cm) Iris_Class
		+	5.1 3.5 1.4 0.2 Iris-setosa<br>
		+	4.9 3.0 1.4 0.2 Iris-setosa<br>
		+	4.7 3.2 1.3 0.2 Iris-setosa<br>
		+	4.6 3.1 1.5 0.2 Iris-setosa <br>
		+	...<br>
		+	</code>
