Correction to AUG article:
Selecting Quantity from a Drop-Down

The original code is as follows:

Replace HTML tag with the following:
<select name="Q_<Actinic:Variable Name="ProductReference"/>"><option selected value="<Actinic:Variable Name="DefaultQuantity"/>">1</option><option value="2">2</option><option value="3">3</option><option value="4">4</option><option value="5">5</option><option value="6">6</option><option value="7">7</option><option value="8">8</option><option value="9">9</option></select>
This code contains options up to '9' – but you can easily adapt it for more or fewer items

You will have to change <Actinic:Variable Name="ProductReference"/> to
<Actinic:Variable Name="ProductID"/>

This is to prevent it from failing when using duplicates.

Kind regards,

Listing working examples of these tweaks would be good Brucey boy.

(Feel free to delete this post, just wanted to tell somone).

Its a bug I found today and reported you can see the working example at http://www.ukcheaptoners.co.uk/acata...artridges.html

Would it be possible to have page numbers next to the added changes in revision history? I'm finding it quite difficult finding where they all are.

[cdicken]

Sure - I'll see whether we can do that. It's a bit tricky as page numbers change all the time as new articles get added. You could just search for the article title in Word. That'll get you straight there.

[leehack]

Chris, do you know if you use correct headings throughout the document, you can create a table of hyperlinked contents with the correct page numbers? The table of contents option reads all of your heading & sub-headings etc. When you click refresh on the page, it will refresh it instantly for you. You can even have version control and have anything new you have added auto turn red and its entry in the TOC.

How about a wish list request to have updates available as a download option to save having to print everything again (a paperless office is not quite here and I expect a lot of users prefer a hard copy).

If any changes are required to existing documentation a simple note to replace page X. In a former life this was how all updates to manuals were handled with the new stuff going on top (front of file) and alterations slotting into place. If formatting was done to prevent articles being orphaned that would make life a whole lot easier.

[pinbrook]

it never occured to me to print the wretched thing...

how do you copy/paste?

I would prefer to see it as an online facility though, maybe merged with v8 KB?
