The Featured Demos links are actually wrong -- I forgot to update them. Once I've updated them, we'll have the dimensions in just one place. Thanks for noticing!
I'd also like to pass the app root as a query parameter into the wrapper. That way we only have to change that variable in one place, and can re-use the same wrapper to launch multiple different lzpix builders. I tried doing that last night, but couldn't get it to work in the short time I put into it. jim On Jun 23, 2006, at 1:44 PM, P T Withington wrote: > The (Legal's)[http://www.openlaszlo.org/legals] page is indeed > correct. > > But, I am suggesting this because it seems wrong to me that you > should have to set the window size in the link that fetches an LZX > app. That's the way I did it on the et/index page, but it seems > wrong.
