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.
