Try this one: http://flea.sourceforge.net/resume.html

To appeal to contract clients, the acronym bingo at the top is DHTML. When
you click it, the system highlights the acronym of interest and jumps to the
most recent citation.

I too am curious about the overall resume value, but the bingo itself
permits the most rapid possible evaluation. Clicking ActiveX highlights a
lot of gigs!

Has anyone else ever put that feature in an online resume?

We are back to "help your local users groups"...

If I went that far, I would use DHTML to collapse sections like a tree.
Using that feature, selecting the objective "XP Coach" would collapse all
the code-and-fix gigs, and would open, among other things, a list of my
lectures to local users groups. But I _don't_ want the average ActiveX
customer to know about those lectures, or even need to skip over them. They
think ActiveX requires code-and-fix, so that's what that resume aspect will
give them.
