Why on earth does the HMTL Composer generate this HTML when I create an MRE HTML launch page:

<IMG id=image1 style="Z-INDEX: 7; LEFT: 10px; POSITION: absolute; TOP: 38px" tabIndex=7 
src="C:\DOCUME~1\ADMINI~1\LOCALS~1\Temp\ddm_0000c.png" border=0 name=image1 rtFileName="app/logo_pdf.png" 
originalHeight="40" originalWidth="40">

instead of this: 

<IMG id=image1 style="Z-INDEX: 44; LEFT: 20px; POSITION: absolute; TOP: 29px" tabIndex=73 
src="app/logo_pdf.png" border=0 name=image1 
originalWidth="40" originalHeight="40">

What is that image source link, and what is that rtFileName tag? The image obviously doesn't display when I view the page in a BI dashboard tab.

Same for the stylesheet:

<LINK id=ITEM1 href="C:\DOCUME~1\ADMINI~1\LOCALS~1\Temp\ddm_00007.css" type=text/css rel=stylesheet rtFileName="app/css_style.css">

I wonder if there is some wacky processing done, js or otherwise, depending on whether it is run from DS or the Server.

Waz, I have just started creating a brand new page.

Very strangely, I had another, previously created page open for a bit - it had the correct links. Then I closed and reopened it and they changed to this temp file thing.

I added the image from the "Other" virtual MRE Domain folder.

Thanks for that quick response.

When you dig into the internals, if they are available, you tend to find similar things.

I wonder what happens if you remove the rtFileName from it and run it, outside of the composer of course.

Every time I feel like giving the GUI tools another shot, I get discouraged within 15 minutes.

I thought of applying a hotfix to my copy of 7.6.8, but I read this: Known Problems: 768 HF5 does not populate dynamic listbox or drop-down

quote:
Problem Detail Information

Description:

After applying 768 HF5 dynamic listbox or drop-downs will not populate.

Workaround:

N/A

The following issues are addressed in 768 Hotfix 5 (106913)
Request to pass parameters from OPS to WF Client (opsutil.jar, ops76.war, WOAS_doReport.jsp)
Toolbar spacing issue under Dashboard when adding multiple (WORP_ShowToolbar.jsp)
Close Dev Studio yields "focshell.exe - Application Error" error (gcnscont.dll, rattletool.dll)
HTML Composer: UC 764->768: Listbox Selected Value no longer set focus (ibirls2.js)
HTML Composer: Tab Item Click and Focus events are not triggering (ibirls2.js)
HTML Composer: Slow performance of Chained dropdowns in IE6 and IE7 (ibirls2.js)
HTML Composer: Select Font style for Radio Button crashes Dev Studio (fshtmlpage.dll)


I have experienced the last issue in this list. Also, simply clicking on the top border of a "panel" makes it jump to the top-left of the screen.

I really don't know how people do GUI development with Dev Studio.

I have to admit, I hardly use DS.

I'm old school. Build it my self, at least I know what is going on.

Sorry I'm going backwards in time, but here's a nice long thread on 7.6.9 and its accompanying hot fixes: [Put to bed] So what else is broken (or moved?) in Dev Studio 7.6.9?. What's the use of progressively updating Dev Studio if the server doesn't get updated as well - none of the clients I have worked with update their server software every time a new one is released. There should be regular hotfixes to each of the supported versions, and hotfixes that don't break things.

I copied the image to a self-serivce app folder (outside of MRE) and used HTML Composer to point to it. Dev Studio copies it back into the MRE domain with a different name. Yeesh!

I wonder if Tony stands by this comment four years later, "Every time I look at the GUI and try to reconcile the new against the old I am reassured that hand coding is the way for me!" ( FocalPoint > September 2004 > CHAINING ).

Here it is 1.5 years later and I'm getting the RattleTool.dll error message after being offline for two days. We have 7.6.10 and 7.7.03 installed and somehow the 7.6.10, which is where we are working, gives the message:

The program can't start because the RattleTool.dll is missing from your computer.
Try reinstalling the program to fix this problem.

I opened a case with IBI but if anybody in the Focus Universe sees this and can share any solution that would be wonderful.

Now this is one I've never encountered before!

In DS 7.7.03, I found the rattle in C:\ibi\DevStudio77\bin. I guess this child should be happy finding his rattle.

I found this "rtFileName" nonsense happening to me on January 13, 2011 and was recently informed that hotfix 4 will fix it sometime at the end of October 2012. I can hardly wait.
