[hobbit] custom script help

[Haertig, David F (Dave)]

HTML in status messages works for the most part, but remember that
Hobbit confines your messages INTO A TABLE CELL when it lays out the
webpages.  This may be unnoticeable to you, or it may be a terrible
limitation.  For example, if you are trying to use stylesheets and
javascript to show/hide div's, this won't work within table cells.
Admittedly, that's a fairly sophisticated thing to try in a hobbit
status message!

It would be nice if Hobbit did not use tables for layout, and went pure
stylesheets instead.

The message you send can contain whatever you like, though there are
some limitations, given that what you send is embedded inside a web
page.  You might be able to do some fancy stuff with stylesheets to make
things appear and disappear, but I wouldn't want to bet on it that
working.  Especially if the mail could contain html tags that would
interfere with the format.

Whatever message you send is what shows up in the detail page when you
click through the colored dot that corresponds to $MACHINE & $TEST.
