-
- A) System Requirements
- ======================
-
- - PC compatible with a Pentium/90 or higher processor
- - Microsoft Windows 95, Windows 98, or Windows NT 4.0 or later
- - 30MB available hard-disk space
- - 16MB of RAM
- - 640 x 480 or higher resolution video adapter
- - CD-ROM drive
- - Mouse or other pointing device

-
-
- B) Upgrading from NetObjects ScriptBuilder 2.0
- ==============================================
-
- If you are upgrading to NetObjects ScriptBuilder 3.0 from NetObjects
- ScriptBuilder 2.0, please make sure to save your NetObjects
- ScriptBuilder 2.0 Script Library file (the default location is
- C:/Program Files/NetObjects ScriptBuilder/scriptlib.sbl) in
- another directory BEFORE removing NetObjects ScriptBuilder 2.0 from
- your system. For detailed instructions, please refer to the Welcome
- section of the User Guide.
-
- Please also note that you may remove NetObjects ScriptBuilder 2.0
- through the Control Panel (Add/Remove Programs) without affecting
- NetObjects ScriptBuilder 3.0 installation.
-
-
- C) Known Issues in This Version
- ===============================
-
- 1. Undo only removes one of the several lines of code added to a
- document when a script component has been inserted or instantiated
- into that document. You can "undo" the insertion of a script
- component by removing the undesired component via the Component Map.
-
- 2. If Netscape Navigator has been installed into a new directory after
- ScriptBuilder, and Navigator is not running when you do an external
- preview, ScriptBuilder will be unable to locate it to launch it
- automatically. One workaround is to launch the browser independently
- of ScriptBuilder. To correct this problem, re-add the browser to
- your external browser list, pointing to the new netscape.exe.
-
- 3. The Import JavaScript Object menu item can only import standard
- properties and methods of a JavaScript object. It will ignore
- properties that have advanced logic (e.g., "or", "?", or
- "if..else") on the right side of the equal sign. You can manually
- add these advanced properties to your .scc file using the Script
- Component Pad.
-
- 4. The Syntax Checker erroneously reports a syntax error if there is a
- comment on the last line of a .js file, such as "} //I'm a comment".
-
- 5. If the user attempts to deploy a file without script components,
- Component Deploy adds a filename_init.js file to the list of files to
- deploy. However, this file does not exist and will not be deployed.
- Feature functionality is not affected.
-
- 6. Script components cannot be removed or renamed from the Component
- Gallery. Pages in the Component Gallery can be manipulated by
- editing the components.ini file directly.
-
- 7. When dragging a script from the Script Library in Details view, the
- text of the entire line is visibly dragged. Feature functionality is
- not affected.
-
- 8. If you are running Windows 98, your display must be set to at least
- 256 colors.
-
- 9. NetObjects ScriptBuilder 3.0 is incompatible with the Hungarian
- release of Microsoft Windows NT 4.0.
-
- 10.If your Display is changed from standard colors to high-contrast
- black via the Control Panel, toolbar images will not be visible.
-
- 11.If printer settings are changed during a session, you must restart
- the application in order for new printer settings to take effect.
-
- 12.Database and other additional script components may be downloaded
- from NetObjects. Please visit the download section of the NetObjects
- Web site (http://www.netobjects.com/download) for additional
- information.
-
-
- D) Undocumented Functionality
- =============================
-
- 1. Script Component Pad. To assist users in creating script components,
- there is a "Script Component Pad" applet located by default in the
- NetObjects ScriptBuilder directory at C:/Program Files/
- NetObjects ScriptBuilder/sccpad.exe. Detailed instructions on using
- the Script Component Pad are located at C:/Program Files/
- NetObjects ScriptBuilder/Docs/Script Components/
- Using Script Component Pad.html.
-
- 2. Find in Files Cancel. To cancel a Find in Files search in progress,
- right-click the Find in Files tab in the Results pane. Select
- "Cancel Find in Files" from the pop-up menu.
