Link fixed. Thanks.

That's really neat Alex and a very good advert for dojo! I really like the copy and paste from Excel feature.

Are there any plans to support the Excel charts?

Hi,

As an aside, the link in your post above doesn't work - using http instead of href.

My main question is why, on account creation, do you limit the password length to 12 characters (at least in the client validation)?

I'm getting increasingly frustrated by sites that put an upper limit (especially a low upper limit) on password fields. Out of genuine interest, I wonder if there are technical reasons that this is done?

Apart from that it looks good.

Alex,

We've been using Tracker already at my company, for things like tracking job applicants, potential customers, etc. It works great! We'll probably pay up for a subscription, as we keep on wanting to have more than 2 (which is the free limit).

I was wondering: how hard is it to write javascript code that lets you Ctrl-V to paste code into a widget? Clearly that is a desired feature for a web spreadsheet (or text editor), but Writely is the only web office application that seems to have implemented it, which tells me that it's at least hard to do.

Thoughts?

Alex could you push for a nice "demo" url so users could just go to tracker.jot.com/demo/ and be logged into a demo account? Would make it very nice for users just interested the ajax/technology side of things, but don't want to sign up for a full account.
