I've got to admit, I don't really understand Garth's approach. I am guessing, however, that it results from ambiguities on where you can reroute around UserLand code. As an old hand with Frontier, I now how to work back to the top of UserLand's code and divert it where I need to. Unfortunately in Radio finding this point is difficult. My first thought was that it is there in your "index.txt" file, however, this isn't clear. Actually, I think that you have to step up to the Radio responder to find where you can safely step out. So short of writing a new responder, you are stuck with Radio code. 5:16:08 PM     Comment []

radio.macros.imageRef() has been updated to include an "alt" parameter. It may seem a trivial, but the alt attribute is important for non-sighted web users. Thanks to UserLand for providing this. 4:30:54 PM     Comment []

I came across a little bug in Radio's update process. In Mac OS X when the "Update Radio Root..." is called from the dock, A dialog box comes up in Radio asking you if you want to update the root. Unfortunately, Radio is not brought to the front where you can act on the dialog. So the update process does not start until you bring Radio to the front. You can fix this (though, if you are at all squeamish about editing scripts in Radio, don't do this.), by jumping to system.verbs.builtins.rootUpdates.Update and adding the following line just before the line rootUpdates.init(): Frontier.bringToFront() I will report this to the Radio bug list so hopefully it will get added to a future root update. 9:34:44 AM     Comment []
