Document Mechanics |
Modification for server-side deployment with WebLogic and IE 9/10:
|
|
When the document was deployed as a WAR in WebLogic, WebLogic did not
send back the content header. As an additional bonus, WebLogic also ignored
all declared mime-types. To work around this, modified the document's deployment
descriptor to explicitly declare only the application xml and javascript
mime types, and declare them in an order that is accepted by WebLogic, JBoss,
and WebSphere. The deployed document now opens properly in WebLogic as it
always has in JBoss and WebSphere. Tested with IE 9/10 on all three supported
servers. This was reported to MadCap Software as issue 47519.
DevItem: DI16189. |
Modification for IE 9/10:
|
|
Forced the document to open in edge mode, thus preventing IE compatibility
settings from taking effect in any version of IE. Tested on IE 10, Chrome
30, Safari 5, Firefox 17, and Opera 11.
DevItem or Issue: None. |
eForms |

Definitions → Form Processing → Variables Exposed During Form
Processing, corrected typographical error (changed class in example
from getSQLDataSet() to getSqlDataSet() ).

Plans → Event Types → Event Type Maintenance Page, added
(any) and (blank) options to specify any/nonexistent values for [ new value
] and [ old value ].
Issue: VC0038780. |
Caveat added:
|
|
In Event
Plans → Basic Examples: Creating Event Plans, added caveat to
make "inputs" prefix mandatory for input properties in Conditional
Action Blocks. Also added this caveat to Action
Block Editor → Conditional Blocks (with a note about the Ctrl-Space
typing aid).
DevItem or Issue: None. |
