Run BASIC v1.0.1 beta 1 release notes
--------------------------------------------------------------------

-Added the ability to specify a default html or htm file for the
home page application so now the server will allow you to have a
regular HTML file as a welcome screen, and you can link to RB apps
from that page if you want.

-Run BASIC was not serving static files when running under Windows
2000. Fixed.

-When logging out of a Run BASIC development session, the browser
no longer redirects to localhost unless it should.

-When RB reports a compile error, the link to the help file is no
longer broken.

-Clicking the close X button on the console window now presents an
opportunity to cancel the close action.

-Graphics rendered inside of a DIV would in certain circumstances
be rendered after the DIV. Fixed.

-Sometimes rendering a TABLE would result in an out of bounds
exception. Fixed.

-DefaultDir$ and Platform$ were not being declared global by
default. Fixed.

-Use of the UPLOAD statement was causing badly formed XHTML to be
generated, and this would cause any links rendered on the page
to cause the application to return to the login page when clicked.
This meant there was no way to abort an upload operation by
defining a link to do so.

-Use of CSSCLASS inside a DIV was causing Run BASIC to hang. Fixed.

Is there any chance that we could specify an upload directory?

I'll definitely put some cycles into that.

Hi Carl,
Many great improvements!
I am a paid customer of RunBASIC, I would very much like a link to the download of the update please. Asking here in the forum as you say you can't receive my e-mails.
Great product!
Thanks,
Grant Fleming

One small request for v1.01...

Would it be possible to map the name "css" to the "cssclass" subroutine? In CSS, "class" means a specific class of characteristics for an element. When you're creating classes in CSS, it looks like this:

.classname { element: value;}

So, whenever I use "cssclass" I think I'm creating a CSS class, and forget to tack on the period...or I forget I can create unique CSS ID's. It's not very confusing, but it's slightly irritating. I know it'd be easy enough to do it myself, but then I'd have to...

Call css "name", "{ element: value; }"

Sub css name$, css$
cssclass name$, css$
End Sub

...in every program.

You're not too late. It's taking me longer than I expected to package it all up.
