Some new/old bugs:

1. Sometimes only an upper half of the picture of an individual is shown with no scrolling buttons. This happens only in IE, Mozilla works fine. This bug was present in Ron's report and was  fixed by him.

2. Both the husband and wife are alive. Still we have: the had no children. 

3. How do you determine the "order" of the children (oldest, youngest etc)? I assume by the order they were entered into the genomap. If this order is stated incorrectly, what would be the easiest way to correct this in the map?

4. If you want the report to be 150% perfect and if it is not too complicated to correct, please change

      A has a wife named B, and a son and a daughter named C and D

to

      A has a wife named B, a son named C and a daughter named D 

Thanks again for the great job!

Please send me the fix and I will update it to the master template.

The order of the children is determined by the date of birth, or the child number.  If not, it uses the x-position of each child in the family tree.  There are still outstanding issues when there are multiple children from multiple families/marriages and/or multiple adoption.  Somehow I had to release Beta14, so I postponed this bug.

I agree what you are proposing is better, however it is much harder to do. I will think of a solution.

OK. The problem starts from interpreting the blank (default) entry in the relationship field. One would assume that if nothing is written, the default is marriage or similar, but not divorce or separation. Most of my family properties have no marriage indicated, thus giving "they had no children".

You are right about this.  I made the assumption that if a relationship was blank, they the couple was not living together.  It would probably safer to assume the couple is living together if both are alive.

I believe this is the so called IE 'Guillotine' bug.The change that I thought fixed this bug actually didn't! I tried to implement the 'clearfix' class described in http://www.positioniseverything.net/easyclearing.html but I obviously didn't understand the instructions. But an alternative 'cheap and cheerful' solution is to include a 'cleared' element later in the page. So edit the template file individual.htm as follows:

Delete lines 34 & 126 as they do nothing. Insert before line 125 , i.e. before </body>, the line:

The reason my code worked and Dan's did not is that my code to write footnotes left an empty <span> element like the above when no footnotes were present. Dan is much more meticulous with his code and of course did not generate superfluous html.

Perhaps someone with a better grasp of html can figure out how the '.cleafix' class should be applied.

Any suggestion is welcome.  Thanks!

1. If the relationship is not specified, I assume they are together.  You get "He has a wife named ..." rather than "He had a wife named".

2. I fixed the case where multiple spouses could display "has" instead of "had".

3. I corrected the phrase "He burial was".  This was because the text from the enumeration BodyDisposition was not corresponding with the phrase PhBuried.

Can you send me a screen shot?  Perhaps a sample HTML with the problem.

I modified the code so all notes are displayed by default and changed minor things for the picture anotations.  As for the picture title, send me the HTML code of what looks good on your machine. Ron wrote this code and he knows more about this than myself.

Humm... this is not good news for me.  Are the reports from version 13 much better?  I have not intentially modified the report layout for Beta 14.  What I did is move all the text to the language dictionary and use phrases.

I made a silent update of Beta 14 at http://www.genopro.com/beta/ .  If you download & install Beta 14 again, you will get the fixes.
