NetTalk 5 Updated

[Bruce]

Hi All,

PR32 is now up. This doesn't include as many fixes as I would have liked - there are still a couple of rough edges with regard to the popup forms - but allegedly I'm on holiday so it's worth posting what is done.

One nice tweak with this build came from the Danish webshop. They suggested that the date field could accept words like today, last month, next quarter and so on. This improves (even more) the power of the date input field and is a nice addition.

Another nice addition is the use of the Date picker on Locators when doing a lookup on a Date column.

There are assorted other fixes (many suggested by the users in Holland and Denmark), improvements, and additions. For a full list see the version history here http://mirror.capesoft.com/ftp/public/prerelease/index.htm. You can download from there as well.

Cheers
Bruce

Version 5.03, and 5.04 have gone up onto the site this week. 5.03 was primarily introducing some new features, and 5.04 added a collection of bug-fixes, some of which have been outstanding for a while.

5.05 is likely to me mostly fixes as well, and perhaps some new documentation.

5.04
Fix: Calling p_web.Script method was limited to very few embeds.
Fix: Clicking on browse row could spawn a JavaScript error
Fix: using 0 in a date picture (eg @d06) could lead to funny chars in date placeholder.
Fix: Console.Log left in JavaScript file.
Fix: Using popups could break browse mouse-overs
Fix: Case where date range error contained excessive spaces.
Fix: Description-as-Value lookups could clear when form has failed validation.
Fix: Immediate form validation could appear on browse screen behind popup
Fix: Removed Trace call from template
Fix: Code was generated to Call PostInsert even if Inserts not enabled for form
Fix: Text in alert_div encoded correctly for foreign character sets.
Fix: 1 char length strings could get cleared on screen when using foreign char sets
Fix: Conditional browse field, css override, generated extra ) character.

5.03
Add: NoTips property to suppress tips on mobile devices
Add: Create Tip method.
Add: Ability to separate Nav buttons and update buttons position on a browse.

Change: (internal) attributes to set browse data moved to table element
Change: (internal) row click, and mouse events set in JavaScript, not HTML.
Fix: In certain cases duplicate DIV id's on a page were possible, with multiple browses.
Fix: Allows case where lookup key value is not primary key.
Fix: Problem where lookup popup doesn't have a form specified - could result in compile error.
Fix: Possible length problem with _jsok on strings with utf-8 characters, also AsciiToUtf method
Fix: Clicking on a browse record no longer caused the children to automatically update
Fix: Sizing on Date fields was not being applied. Dates now auto-size, or you can force them larger.

5.05 is up.
More fixes and tweaks;

5.05
Change: Script method can now be called more generically.
Change: (internal) Optimization to _FlushResponses
Change: Net:Unknown equate changed to Net:NotKnown to avoid conflict with WebBuilder.
Work-Around: Webkit based browses do not re-submit a form unless a value on the form changes. This can be a problem for the "save" button on a report options window. To work-around this, add a Hidden form field called _webkit_ to the form. The NetTalk JavaScript does the rest.
Fix: Auto-Lookup on Insert was broken in some cases.
Fix: Template error when generating empty browsewidth and browseheight
Fix: Template error when generating rowstyle.
