That would be a programming error, where a pointer to the current
screen is not passed to the ASL call. Report it, and I suppose it will
somewhere be fixed.

Beat me there. I don't get these file://localhost/ stuff in front of
my images. It helps to first save the new html file to the directory
of your choice, and load it again. MetalWeb now looks in this
directory for its images. If you start from a blank sheet, you will
need to enter the full absolute path to your images (at least I do
here), which of course is never the same on a webserver.

Not really, but at least I can try to help you :| Are you using the
latest download from the Vapor site? I don't get your file://localhost
problems here.

They give you the same headaches as metalweb. The other day someone
mailed me the html code created by a MicroSoft WYSIWYG editor. It
wouldn't load from the website. Well, the images wouldn't. Guess what,
they were all looking for the absolute path on his harddrive (yes, the
file://a:\imagedir\webimage\something.gif :))
I have found that whatever WYSIWYG editor you use, you always need
some knowledge of HTML, so that you can check the code after your
editor has created it.

Actually, metalweb isn't bad. Sure it can be improved, and by the time
it has loaded, I have three pages handwritten HTML, but I think it's
good enough for people with no HTML knowledge.

No it isn't :) Select the text you want to change, in the edit window
select colour, and change the colour with the sliders (not using the
colour wheel gadget thingy, I found that it still doesn't work). The
colour of your text is now changed, which will be reflected in your
preview window and your code.
