Hi - I have a problem with the text entry system - the text does not highlight when I select it - just shows a red flashing cursor.

Also, the Events field does not work (sometimes it works, sometimes not!).
This program looks like it could be VERY useful, but at the moment, it is too unreliable.
Hope somebody can help me here.
I am using WinXP Home with loads of memory.

Hello JayTee,
you cannot see selection because you have the selection color set to white:
see this...

For setting events you must first select some text, then you can add events and confirm by pressing the OK button in the events panel.
Bye, Davide

 Duh - I now understand how this edit box works - in fact I worked it out 30 minutes after posting my problem!
Thanks for that info.
I have a couple of questions, they are not bugs but ways of doing things..
What is the best way to exert css style control over my web page components? I can add style statements to the page header, but how can I apply a style to a label (for example)? At the moment, the only way I can see to do this is to write out the HTML myself using an HTML component with <div class=myclass>style is applied to this text</div> , but then I cannot see the style or formatting until I preview the page. If coding an update to display css styles is very difficult, then OK, but perhaps you could offer label picture and other edit dialogs with a css style selection box? Then at least we would have an easy way to apply pre-defined styles to the page components. Hope this idea is of interest, or perhaps there is a better way?
My second question - and this could be easily answered if I could apply css styles to an image: - how can I add a border to a picture? The long way is to create a box in the background which is slightly larger than the image. Is there an easier way? I could create a style for all images on the page, but that is not what is needed.
Cheers
Julian

Then ...
For your first question i apply css styles in the same way you have done (...write out the HTML myself using an HTML component...).
I have never thinked to permit a user to set specific style to a text object for sample, the editor assign the style when you set fonts and colors.
This may be a good idea for input objects (text, button) but i think it is not suitable for label object because it is a group of style sheet.
Another good idea is the possibility of export a single object to clipboard with the style written directy in tag.
Input objects are not terminated, i have to create combo, textarea, option, check and i must manage form tag for them.
For the second question i answer that with editor the simple way is to create a rectangle and put an image over it.
You can also edit the generated code and set border of tag image to 1.
You can also create a style named #id-of-control specifying border:1px black solid and setting id of image=id-of-control
I think this work:
<style type="text/css">
#myimage {
border:1px black solid;
}
</style>
in the body
<img src="pippo.jpg" id="myimage"></img>
With editor you have only to create a correct name of the class name and specify a identical id to that image.

Hi, as I have understood what JayTee wants to say... is to have some function that enables us to make predefined common stiles (similar to TopStyle) that could be applied several times. For ex.: I have headlines in web pages that repeats many times with same shape or to have some kind of text that has same style?. In stead of clicking on bold, italic, align? it could predefined and saved under different names the used when needed.
1. in ?tools? menu or ?edit? there could be added new option ?Styles? where user can make new styles then save them under names that are familiar to them. While creating styles it would be nice to have some kind of preview place so it can be seen what is going on.
2. when creating text boxes or boxes or anything else? under ?Properties? palette there could be added new one named ?Styles? where will be listed user defined styles, and when chosen automatically applied to the selected object.
3. details of that new palette could be like: Option to choose groups of styles (Styles for boxes, for text for pictures and complex styles that has all of it and etc?) this groups will be shown to user when creating style so he could put them under it
I don?t know maybe it is not bad idea
here is picture of my imagination [2 :k]

 It's a big work!
Perhaps i'll think a simple way to associate custom stylesheets to editor elements...
A question: if you have to associate the same style to multiple elements, can't you copy and paste them? [3 :::]
Original style will be mantained... [2 OOO]

Maybe MGersh is referring to some kind of graphic file format that use the word?
[IT]
(forse word usa qualche formato grafico oppure il suo paint interno (se esiste ancora) ne usa uno particolare che non supporti)
[/IT]
p.s.
Welcome MGersh !!! |
