I think so. :) > I'll come up with more documentation soon describing different setups as > examples to clear up things even more. Whew! I could not really follow what Thomas wrote, but I saw an explicit mention of my problem: "The source version is normally only used during development and the application can usually be tested in the browser directly off the file system. Only in cases where you e.g. need to include interaction with a backend you will want to run the source version off a web server environment." That's my case. Even with hello world "custom" tutorial, it worked if I double-clicked the HTML file and my browser opened it as a file:: but it did not work if I got to it via my server, aiming my browser at localhost:8000 and having that default to the custom index.html. With the 8.1 fix do you think the custom tutorial could include a new paragraph explaining how to make that work? cheers, ken ps. sorry for the delay--mad dash over here to get the new qooxdoo-based demo out in time for a big demo today. looking good so far. kt ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ SF.Net email is Sponsored by MIX09, March 18-20, 2009 in Las Vegas, Nevada.
