Known problems

  • in XHTML documents, Nvu 1.0PR serializes empty script (for external scripts) in the form <script src="..." /> with no end tag. This is perfectly valid XML, of course, but MSIE chokes on it. To avoid that, tweak those elements in the source view to give them a content, for exemple a whitespace char.

LINUX users:

  • To view an external URL (to browse an edited file or select one Help menu entry) with Mozilla Application Suite, install this executable script in your system, for instance in the directory where mozilla lives. Edit the MOZILLA_FIVE_HOME environment variable in that script to meet your system settings. Add the following lines to your prefs.js:
    user_pref("network.protocol-handler.app.http", "/path/to/the_shell_script");
    user_pref("network.protocol-handler.app.https", "/path/to/the_shell_script");
    user_pref("network.protocol-handler.app.ftp", "/path/to/the_shell_script");
    user_pref("network.protocol-handler.app.file", "/path/to/the_shell_script");
    For Mozilla Firefox, adjust that variable too and change the last line of the script to
    exec $MOZILLA_FIVE_HOME/MozillaFirefox $url
  • If you can't launch Mozilla after Nvu, it's because your version of Mozilla or Mozilla Firefox is too old. You need a build made after 22-nov-2003. Just get a recent release from Mozilla.org if you don't want to try a nightly.
