DASH

Revision 3.3 Update

New Functionality

A menu system to run DASH in Mozilla btrsers is now available. It provides additional functionality over the simpler HTML based menu system which will be available to run in non-Mozilla btrsers. Mozilla 1.31 is required to run the menu system.
A new Tcl procedure "setLanguage" allows the switching of the form language dynamically via form logic.

Utilities

Cross-tabulations has been added to the Reports menu. Tables allows the execution of a complex table set based on a XML specification file that defines the variables and tables. This is an initial release with many additional capabilities to be added.
Make table set has been added to the Utilities menu. This procedure makes a table set which consists of variables created from the fields in the form along with a default banner. Also a set of tables with the variables tabulated against the default banner is created in the table set.
A delete case utility has been added to the Utility menu.
A convenience function Add Language to Form has been added to the Forms menu. This procedure duplicates all <text> and <label> elements in a form with the addition of a lang attribute with the specified language identifier. This allows a translation of the contents for the new language. Any number of language elements may be added by repeating the procedure.
Load calls to the scheduler now allows the option to remove calls, replace calls and add calls.
The mail function now allows setting the mime type to text/html as an option.

Bug fixes from DASH 3.2

The URI start-up parameter "formLanguage" did not select an initial language when used to open a form.
The "Load Form to Server" menu produced an XML parse error since the schema "dataserve.xsd" did not allow only the minimal form load segment.
Marginals produced an output table with an incorrect format that showed up in Internet Explorer.
An inactive timeout of an interview did not remove the entry from the scheduler active queue if the current page in the form generated an error message on exit.
