JustSo PictureWindow to 3 Conversion Utility
FAQ
These FAQs are based on your actual questions. I'll add more as they come in.
- Can I Convert jspw1 on Child pages of Templates created in DW4?
- DW4 Templates are always a challenge
to Extension developers. Because those pages lack an important
Editable Region in the document's Head, adding behaviors to
the page can be problematic. The best thing to do here is to
manually add the missing Head tags. Add this code to the Head
of the DW4 Template:
<!-- TemplateBeginEditable name="head" -->Save the Template, updating all its Children. Now you can add jspw3 behaviors (and any other javascripted behaviors) - whether by using jspWindow3, jspwTo3 or jspAlbum3 - to the Children with ease!
<!-- TemplateEndEditable --> - Why am I having trouble Converting a Child page of Templates created in all (?) versions of DW, even after applying the fix above?
- There
is a known bug in the Template API that, occasionally but
erroneously reports that you are attempting to make changes in
a Non-Editable Region and rejects the changes. There is a bit
more about this on the MM DW newsgroup. I now
have a workaround for one source of trouble: if your Template
contains two or more #include statements contained within the
same parent tag, then simply wrap each #include statement in
a tag, like or <span></span>,
or even a nonsense tag like <fixit></fixit>, as in this
example:
<td><br>
<!-- TemplateBeginEditable name="navigation" -->
<!--#include virtual="/nav.htm" -->
<!-- TemplateEndEditable --><br><fixit><!--#include virtual="/myinclude1.htm" --></fixit>
<br>
<fixit><!--#include virtual="/myinclude2.htm" --></fixit></td>
- What's up with Netscape 4 ?
- Netscape 4.x does not tolerate spaces in path names. Neither the folders in the path nor the imagename itself may have a spaces if you wish to support Netcape 4.x. You can replace the space with an underline (_) if you wish.
- What Languages are supported?
- Like many of my Extensions, jspwTo3 will likely only work with the latin charset (charset=iso-8859-1). If you have good or bad news on this score - please let me know. Bad: Cyrillic fails, Japanese fails.
