[Xerte] Re: Xerte 2.n - Page Templates New Window Page

[Kemp Johnathan]

"Get the latest files from the svn. Yes, you will need to preview in
browser,"

I updated my SVN after reading your email.

I have created a new project using the Xerte.exe in the runtime folder of
the svn and hence the pageTemplates.xtp file in the svn's runtime/wizards
folder. This file shows a Date modified date of 21/06/2011

I have published the project and then opened the index.htm file in both
Internet Explorer and Opera and still clicking on the image fails to open a
new window.

Does the index.htm page have to reside on a web server and be delivered by a
http request e.g.
"http://localhost/project/index.htm"

or should it work correctly if in Opera I use Page / Open and select
index.htm from the file picker?

I have attached the project so that you can see for yourself what is, or
rather is not, happening.

Sorry to be a nuisance with this but If I can reach a point where I have a
working example I can turn it into a Page Wizard and make it available so
that Deborah (see recent posts regarding actionscript 3) can use her
learning module.

Kind regards

Johnathan
