Preview Inconsistency

Post by JoeC »

In RapidPHP 2007, I'm finding that mostly it's working fine.

However, the render in my Firefox preview box in RPHP and the render in Firefox itself are different. I've gone through [Options -> Configure Browsers] to manually set it to look at the right program, and it's still rendering differently to Firefox.

Any ideas why?

EDIT: Also, found a minor bug with the PHP formatter, may have already been mentioned. If you click "Activate preview" then UNcheck the box, it doesn't remove the preview, it just leaves it as it is. It would be nice to be able to toggle between the preview and the original version there.

EDIT EDIT: Another thing :) Just a small gripe, but when I'm editing CSS and type this ( _ denotes the cursor)

Code: Select all

.someclass
    {_
then press [Enter], it automatically becomes

Code: Select all

.someclass
    {
      _
    }

with 2 extra spaces before the cursor and a blank line after. Is there any way to stop those being put in?

Thanks :)

Interesting, yes. Helpful, not particularly :P

Does anyone have a more up-to-date build? Most of that thread is either no good (F2, I'd much rather have it built-in to the program) or goes over my head (not done any work with C++).

Even some pointers on where I might be able to find a more up-to-date build would be useful :)

Thanks.

The key point is that the preview control is only a small subset of Firefox, rather than the full thing, which the IE control is.

You'll just have to make your web-page a little less complicated! ;)
