    Default Minor help corrections

    Sorry Dennis I know you do an awesome job with the help but just working through Creating Your First Web App and have found a few things that might need review:

    In Class: cWebApp
    In Application Style
    The DataFlex Web Framework supports three styles of web applications: Desktop and Mobile/Touch and Basic (link to overview). Should be a link here.

    In Creating Your First Web View:
    In 8
    "Set the Label property to Name" should be "Set the psLabel property to Name"
    In 9
    "set the Label property to Go" should be "set the psCpation property to Go"
    In 12
    The text says "Notice that the variable sName now contains "Type your name here". You can see this in the Locals window and also by holding the mouse cursor over the variable sName anywhere inside Procedure OnClick." but I don't see "Type your name here" in the variable, just blank.
    In 13
    In the screen shot the breakpoint has moved down a line to "Move ("Hello, " + sName) to sResult" but the text doesn't say to do this.

    In Aligning Web Controls
    In 3
    "Note that the piColumnCount property's value (10) is in bold. This value shows as 12 in the code.
    In 6
    "Column span determines how many of the 10 columns in the current panel". Should read 12.
    In 7
    "Select the oGoButton object and change its piColumnSpan to 3 and its piColumnCount to 3." Should read "Select the oGoButton object and change its piColumnSpan to 3 and its piColumnIndex to 3."


    Cheers
    Richard

    On line help has a suggested mods button on each article.
    a really good feature.

    Russell,

    Thanks for pointing this out.

    To all,

    Every help page in the local version has an "Online Version" button (top right) that will jump you directly to the same page in the online version, and then at the bottom of every online page is a link labeled "E-Mail us suggested improvements for this Topic". It saves developers having to type out some of the background information (which book and page). Also, the online help is always the latest version (sometimes even more up-to-date than the latest released product) so developers can see if perhaps the change they are reporting has already been made (they might be using 19.1 but it was addressed in 20.0).

    In any case, it's the reporting of the fixes and improvements that is paramount (and we greatly appreciate developers taking the time to do so) - the features in the online system are there to make that process as easy as possible.
    Best regards,

    -SWM-
