[Xerte-dev] Re: xot 1.8 beta problems update

When you are in Xerte standalone, there is no web page with function in to call when you hit F5 so any getURL('javascript:function(calls)'); have nowhere to go. You can stop it with if (mdm != undefined) because mdm is the zinc set of methods / properties which only exists at design time.

Thanks for sorting this out Tom - I'm don't work Mondays and Tuesdays so didn't see the emails until today.  I didn't realise that previewing it from the edit window didn't include the same html.

Yes, if at design time (where mdm is defined), we don't have a web page to call.

So I think the proper fix is to do the getURL part if (mdm !=
undefined). Correct?
