[Xerte] Re: Bug in navigator plus template?

[Kemp Johnathan]

There may be another bug in the page.

I have just been updating the new model with the changes made last Friday
and during the testing of the page I found that if you create a Tab
Navigator plus page and add a graphic to the first tab in the first topic
and then preview the page you get the page displaying at the bottom of a
lengthened window with a white panel above displaying the message "loading
xml". I don't think this is caused by the new changes as I also tried my
earlier version of the model which lacks the Friday changes. Just to be
sure I have used both my version of the Model file in an individual page
template project and built a page template project using the current files
from the svn.

An unusual effect I found was that if you create a page with an image on
the first tab of the first topic then the problem occurs. However if you
precede that page with another tab nav + page and do not add a graphic to
the first tab of the first topic then not only will this page load and
display correctly, but the following page that had been causing a problem
will now also load correctly.

Kind regards

Johnathan
