Export template: HTML List (English + German)

Very impressive! I created one for 929 movies in about six minutes—so the time is not an issue. And the links, once created, are very fast. It makes a handy "quick reference" for use in a browser. It's such a simple thing I hadn't thought of it before, but it's particularly useful having links only for items present in other records in the collection. The list I created is of feature films I own and/or have seen in the past—so most links mean "I've seen this (category, actor) before in..." I can create the same list in PVD using filters, but the links I see there don't have the same meaning.

Hello there.
I tried this export template today for the first time, and was very pleased with the result.
I made some minor changes on the layout to suit my needs, but there are a couple of changes that I can't do myself. I don't want to mess with the codes (my knowledge about coding is very basic), and all the comments in the code are in german. I hope you guys could help me with it ?
I would love to modify the framed template to have both original and translated title in the film lift (and possibly original title first).
Also, I would like to have the films ordered by year as default setting.
Any chance you could help me with that ? I'd be very grateful.
edit: Also, the "Further Options" doesn't seem to work well. I haven't read all the posts in this thread, so I don't know if it has been reported by someone else. I a "Rebuilding List" popup, but then nothing happens. I have "only" 300 entries exported, and I let the "rebuilding" process run for a long time, but it doesn't seem to work. Tried on Firefox and IE. Does anyone else have this problem ?

I should try a little harder before I ask for help. I figured out (after randomly changing stuff in the code ^^) everything I needed.
But yes, the "Further Options" is quite a problem. I used it with a smaller list (50 entries), it took about 30 seconds. For bigger lists, it's very slow. I suppose I'll just avoid using it ;)
And again, thank you for this very nice template. And so easy to use for noobs like me !

Hi ouaf,
default sort order is always the sort order you had in Personal Video Database itself at the time you exported your data. Sort in PVD by year and this will be the default sort order in the HTML list.
Concerning the "rebuilding"-popup: if it just stays there and nothing happens, it seems as if there was an error while executing the javascript code. The popup will not be removed, because javascript execution did stop. I don't have any problems with the javascript code, so I can't reproduce the error myself. To help me find the cause: In Firefox there is an "Error Console" in the "Tools"-menu. Please start it. In this console click "Clear" (in the upper right). Then (on the exported HTML page) choose "Further Options" and tell me, what errors are shown in the "Error Console".
What operating system do you have? WIndows XP, Vista, Linux, something else?
Thanks for your feedback.

P.S.: I will tell you how to add the original title soon (so both localized title and the original will be shown)... won't be complicated. It shall be in the movie list, right? The truth is: It is already there, but hidden. You can switch between original title and localized title in the "Further Options" menu, but since that one doesn't do its job on your PC, it won't help you now... If possible, I will try to fix it...
svenne:
Oh, ok, just saw your second reply... is your PC fast or slow in general? I tested "Further Options" with more than thousand entries and it takes only a few seconds (AMD Athlon 2.4GHz, WinXP)... maybe something goes terribly wrong in your case. As I said (see previous post), if you could give me some more information I could try to fix it.
