WebObjects Builder Changes

WebObjects Builder has two new major features for 4.0: Undo and frame editing support.

• You can now undo changes using Control-z on Windows NT, Command-z on Mac OS X Server, or by choosing Undo from the Edit menu.

• To create a frameset, execute the New Frameset command from the Component menu. WebObjects Builder creates an HTML file that defines a frameset. Within the frameset, you can define either static frame elements or dynamic WOFrame elements.

In addition, the following changes have been made to WebObjects Builder:

• WebObjects Builder's handling of incorrect HTML has been improved.

• WebObjects Builder now properly preserves whitespace in your HTML.

• WebObjects Builder now has an "HTML reformat" option in raw mode.

• The Palettes menu now has a SaveAs menu item, allowing you to save a palette to a new location.

• The WebObjects Builder toolbar is now active in raw mode.

• WebObjects Builder now understands fully-qualified Java classes.

• Escape completion is now supported in combo boxes.

• Performance has been improved when rendering large or complex pages.

• WebObjects Builder now supports a graphical alternative display for shared/reusable components (WXY.wo contains WXY.tiff / WXY.bmp, for example). It has no built-in support for generating them, however; you have to insert the image file manually, without help from WebObjects Builder.

• WebObjects Builder now works on Japanese-language systems (it works with the platform-provided language-input system, such as that provided with the Japanese version of Windows NT).
