Hints & Tricks

Typing is slow

If you have "position: fixed" in your css, it may get slower and slower. Try to avoid that.

Show the html source code of xml+xsl

If you have a render bug, you may use the firefox plugin "view render source" to show the html source code : https://addons.mozilla.org/extensions/moreinfo.php?application=firefox&category=Developer%20Tools&numpg=10&id=655

Delete break line before and after a div in xsl

For this, you create a class in your css :

div.inline 
{
 display: inline;
}

and in your xsl :

<xsl:template match="num">
        <div class="inline"><xsl:apply-templates /></div>
    </xsl:template>

Change BitFlux background color

Add this in you CSS file :

.MenuBar, .StatusBar, .Menu, .ToolBar, .MenuPopup, .AboutBox, .ModalBox {
    background-color:     #E6F0F9;
}

Not correctly tracking nodes

(This hint is not really tested..)

If for some reason, BXE doesn't find and a correct node, you can try adding the __bxe_id attribute into your xsl document by yourself. For example:

<xsl:template match="xform">
   <include _type="form_ir_mailservice" __bxe_id="{@__bxe_id}">
    <xsl:value-of select="recipient"/>
   </include>
  </xsl:template>

Here, BXE does not add the necessary _bxe_id to the include element, but if you add {{_bxe_id="

Unknown macro: {@__bxe_id}

"}} to the correct node, it works.
