[Bese-devel] Running Demos of UCW on Mac OS Tiger

[Waldo Rubinstein]

I don't necessarily know if the problem is related to that problem. I  
just tried the demo on Firefox 1.5 beta 1 for Mac OS and below is the  
console output of me loading the index.ucw and then clicking on the  
"Form demo" link:

At this point, I get the prompts for "integer", "decimal", "date",  
and "string". However, next to the integer, decimal, and date  
prompts, I get a link to an "exception" labeled:  
IT.BESE.UCW::UNINITIALIZED+, which when clicked takes me to a longer  
detail of the error with options to click thru different backtraces  
(pardon my idioms).

After inspecting the source code of the page rendered of the "Form  
demo", it seems as if the page is not fully rendered:

 ><option value="31"
   >31</option
 ></select
 ></td
       ><td
         ><a href="/ucw/examples/index.ucw? 
s=qmvRwdrgZVaLdhmoKleWewqBzchRGpDOQfCCsDYo&f=gJJuqyxJKuBgucvNEXOZ&a=XAfE 
wehIRh"
   >IT.BESE.UCW::+UNINITIALIZED+</a
 ></td
       ></tr
     ><tr
       ><td
         >A string (with completion):<br
         />The default options are: (alice almond april bob bill  
cynthia)Use the up and down arrows to chose a completion,
          enter to select it.</td
       ><td
         ><input id="example-input-input" name="rZEJkAXutr" size="0"  
type="text" value=""
/><div id="example-input-results"
/><script type="text/javascript" src="/ucw/js/UCWInputCompleter.js"
   ></script
 ><script type="text/javascript"

Are we all talking about the same problem? Have the demos always had  
this problem?

Thanks,
Waldo
