Release Notes | Mon, 04/20/2009 - 06:00
Notes:
- The base url in the xml configuration file is now being used for stylesheets. Setting the base url in the configuration file will override values set by the JavaScript api.
- A new ASP.NET control is now available with an improved (but incompatible) API. This control requires ASP.NET 2.0; the 1.x control is still available for backwards compatibility.
New Features:
- New Enterprise Edition features:
- Accessibility plugin to aid in creation of accessible documents without opening a dialog. It can be enabled using <plugin name=’accessibility’>:
- Accessibility As You Type displays inline accessibility errors for images, tables and DIV tags. It can be toggled using the menu item “AccessibilityAsYouType” in the configuration file.
- Set Table Header uses cell highlighting to create table header and data cell mappings. This is available by default on the new inline table toolbar (see below).
- Show Table Header Mappings to easily identify accessibility errors in tables. This is available by default on the new inline table toolbar (see below).
- Broken Hyperlink Report will attempt to verify the target page for all links in the document exists. It can be enabled using <plugin name=”BrokenHyperlinkReport” /> and menu item “BrokenHyperlinkReport” in the configuration file.
- New html filter configuration setting <htmlFilter xhtmlStrict>, which defaults to “false”. With this set to “true” options are hidden which are not valid XHTML Strict:
- List Properties dialog hides the “start” and “value” properties

- Table Properties dialog hides the “Table Alignment” property
- An inline toolbar is now available for tables. It can be enabled by adding <plugin name=’tableToolbar’> as well as the table inlineToolbar element to your configuration file. The default table inlineToolbar is available in sample_eljconfig.xml.
