Mobile Booklet website makeover
By Victor Goh | Published: March 14th, 2009
MobileBooklet.com has been given a makeover. I’m not fully satisfied with it yet. There are still some minor Internet Explorer specific layout issues that needs fixing.
Booklet Cover Image Upload Fixed for Internet Explorer
By Victor Goh | Published: March 7th, 2009
The MobileBooklet.com site is developed and tested mostly on the Mac OS using the Safari and Firefox browser. I was surprised to find out that booklet cover image upload did not work on Internet Explorer.
Safari and Firefox uses the following mime-types for image file uploads:
- image/jpeg for jpg files
- image/png for png files
Internet Explorer uses the mime-types:
- image/pjpeg for jpg files
- image/x-png for png files
I was happily creating mobile booklets using Safari and Firefox, so the error was not discovered until someone using Internet Explorer reported the error. (Thanks William!)
So, I made a minor change to ensure the MobileBooklet.com website will accept the following mime-types:
- image/jpeg
- image/pjpeg
- image/png
- image/x-png
Problem fixed!
MobileBooklet.com is built using Ruby on Rails and the image uploading is handled by the Paperclip plugin.

The Elements of Style
The Elements of Style is an American English writing style guide. It is one of the most influential and best-known prescriptive treatments of English grammar and usage in the United States.
Asserting that one must first know the rules to break them, this classic reference book is a must-have for any student and conscientious writer. Intended for use in which the practice of composition is combined with the study of literature, it gives in brief space the principal requirements of plain English style and concentrates attention on the rules of usage and principles of composition most commonly violated.
This mobile booklet is based on the 1918 edition of The Elements of Style written by William Shrunk, Jr. Download it for your mobile phone at http://www.mobilebooklet.com/show/booklet/the-elements-of-style.
