FIXED: Code view window doesn't always size height in sync with main window sizing
FIXED: View->Quick Properties Editor menu item always checked whether editor is showing or not
FIXED: One extra line feed after form's textarea text
FIXED: Selection list with no values should still have one blank <option> for W3C validity
FIXED: Text-decoration:normal should be text-decoration:none
FIXED: Trigger FX involving two objects are lost if Object editor is used on trigger object
FIXED: If you click on the magnify icon to zoom in, the mouse cursor may relocate too far down on the page
FIXED: When creating Permanent Group, Object name does not show up in tool-bar's object list until re-selected
FIXED: Default text alignment may be incorrectly set to right or center if a text object is placed in a table with right or center alignment
FIXED: Form objects in tables should use their own text alignment not the table's

ADDED: Code view window can now be resized. (hold CTRL key down while opening to re-set default location)
ADDED: 'Find' option in code view context menu
ADDED: Forms bar and Display Code commands to View menu
ADDED: Hold CTRL key while starting program resets tool-bar positions

CHANGED: Added single quotes around font-family values to preserve possible spaces
CHANGED: Added rows="0" cols="0" to <textarea> for W3C validity. If no CSS, these are not added. User can add specific values as 'code'

Okay...so...I don't really no how to make my OWN post with my OWN topic...so I'm responding to some random one...hope that's ok!

Anyways...I have a problem...I lost the CD...I know I know...stupid huh? But My little sister or brother must of taken it and it is not to be found...so I wanted to know if I could be send a copy? I need this for my school robotics club *don't ask* And it is REALLY important that I have this disk...

If I need my registration code thingy...or...any other code I am unfamiliar with then yeah...I'm going to need some help on that...Otherwise???

PLEASE HELP!!!

In dire need of assistance,
RoboticsNerd

And another thing...if you reply you will probably reply WAY past my bedtime *i know...it sucks* soooo....

here is my e-mail:

sierra2012@yahoo.com

PLEASE HELP!!!

As this seems urgent, why not just download a copy from the VM website? -- about a 6Mb download. You'll get the latest version too

Ok...I guess I could get my teacher to do that so I can show him my site...however, if he does download it...could I transfer a file from my program to his by...disc? or floppy? or CD?

Thank you sooo much for you're response...you're saving my butt here!

Sincerely,
RoboticsNerd

If you have published your project, you could just point him at the URL of your site.

If you haven't, you could publish to disk, and then copy all the files to a CD, memory stick, or floppy. You can test your publish before the big demo (good idea!) by double clicking the file 'index.html'. For a successful copy, everything should work just like it does in preview.

You could also copy your .ims project file and source images as you are thinking, but the project would require some tinkering to get it working on the new computer (plus of course you would need to install SiteSpinner).

Okay..how do I publish my project? Like...I know where the button is but when I click on it it's not like I get this page that says www.tricityprep/robotics! It just has the Cocument thingy...Do I have to get my own domain?

No, you don't need your own domain, but you will need to sign up with a host. Then when you publish, you send your finished pages to a special place on your host.

Once your pages are there, your visitors can view them with their browser -- if they know the URL (web site address).

There is a lot more about publishing under Help > Tutorials.

Glad to see you guys finally made the code validate.

hello i have just updated and all went well until i tried to publish, it goes through and connects to the website perfect, and then nothing the pages don't actually come up, never had this on the older one help, what am i doing wrong

You are probably not publishing to the correct place on your site now. I suggest follow the tutorial 'Publishing your Project' under Help > Tutorials.

The trick is to browse to the folder on your site where your existing HTML files are.

Is anyone having trouble upgrading SiteSpinner.. I get an error message can't read from the file C:\Docs Settings etc.,
Regds

Is this happening during install, or when you try to run SiteSpinner after install?

Also can you quote the full text of the error message?

After clicking on install I get the error message, then it tells me to install again, but I can repeat that and get the same thing again.

The full text of the errror message is "A network error occured while attempting to read from the file C:\Douments & settings\Temp InternetFiles\Content\IE5\E30FUXKL\SiteSpinnerV2.70c.msi"

Hmmmm.... SiteSpinnerV2.70c.msi is the actual install file so the installer is saying it can't read something from that file. Also it says "network error" -- are you trying to install over any kind of network?

I'm fairly sure the file is digitally signed, so if there was any corruption of the file, I would expect a different error message. So for now, I will assume no corruption.

I would try the install from a another disk drive (or partition) if you have one available. If not, try somewhere else on your current disk, like your desktop. Locate the .msi file, copy it to the new location and try the install from there.

Derry or Harpo -- any better ideas?

That location is in the IE cache. The file might have been damaged during download. I would try clearing your IE cache (called temporary internet files in IE) and/or downloading SiteSpinner from an alternate location (download.com, tucows.com).

Thanks both. Iwill try that

I have uninstalled SiteSpinner and re-installed it from here presumably I now have the upgrade
