Custom Tag to emulate JavaScript Wizard - Version 1.1 ('Beta')

written by Bernhard Friedrich

system requirements: HomeSite 3.0 (tested on full retail version) or CF Studio 3.1

Installation:
-unzip the file into your \HomeSite\Templates\TagEditors (use path names; if you used a previous version, no further action is neccessary)
-next, select a custom toolbar (to be safe) or the Script toolbar, right-click and select 'customize'
-select 'Add Custom Button' and use the enclosed 'js_wizard.gif' as an example. All you have to do is tell HS to display a custom tag, select the js_wizard.vtm as the dialog file and the js_wizard.bmp as the button image.

downsides: Some functionality still missing (in the URL selection, for example). Doesn't save user preferences (like the prefixes). I'm looking for a way around this. Any ideas?

Feel free to send me JavaScripts I can include in the wizard or in an upcoming toolbar version of the tags.

History:

12/29/97: Version 1.1 (again revised the advanced options; now really works in IE3 (at least US and German))
12/28/97: Version 1.0 (revised the advanced options. Due to different date formatting in different browsers and differen OSes, not all options dispalyed correctly. Tested in Netscape 3 and 4, IE 3 and 4, Opera 3.00 Beta 11 under both Win95 and NT 4.0 (German). I cannot guarantee it will work in all localized versions, though.)
11/29/97: Version 0.9 (Thanks to Robert Crooks I have included yet more options in the advanced date formatting ('last modified' section). All formatting tested and working in all versions of Netscape, IE and Opera. For examples see http://www.hsguide.com/guides/examples.html)
11/28/97: Version 0.8 (I managed to get advanced date formatting to work in: Netscape 2, 3 and 4; IE 3 and 4 and Opera 3. Note that the scripts tend to get quite large, so you should consider using the standard version.)
11/28/97: Version 0.7 (not released; advanced date formatting now works in IE3+ and Netscape 3+ (not tested in 2.x). Thanks to Robert Crooks for giving me the essential hint. Opera still needs the workaround.)
11/26/97: Version 0.6 (new options introduced for last modified script. Note that those new options only work in Netscape (all versions?) and IE 4+. I made a workaround so users of IE 3 and Opera 3 see the date at all, but the formatting isn't applied.)
11/15/97: Version 0.5 (bug fixed: background fade incorrectly displayed only end color picker; thanks to Christopher Bradford)
11/15/97: Version 0.4 (bug fixed; document.Location changed to document.location in Frame Buster and document URL scripts. Thanks to Gunther Schutzenmeier)
11/15/97: Version 0.3 (all scripts originally found in the wizard are back; not the same functionality due to limitations of VTML)
11/15/97: Version 0.2 (URL selection is back; although not in the same manner as it used to. You can insert up to eight choices, the rest has to be done via direct editing of the script.)
11/14/97: Version 0.1 (first release)
