I am viewing reports on the hard disc; do not want to post them until I am sure there are no problems.
IE6 only shows the initial information contained in Detail.htm + the two buttons in the other frame. The only way to procede is to turn off the Pop-up Blocker. I have tried modifying settings in the Options, such as making several items give a prompt but not got anywhere.
Firefox gets much further and loads both frames; you can navigate to an individual and also move to ancestors. However children are identified with extended links eg file:///E:/Data/GenoPro%20Beta%20Report/2.13e/ind00004.htm#0_0 and Firefox does not then move to #0_0.
The similar problem occurs with the picture viewer.
I have of course checked that Java & Javascript are enabled in Firefox. I suspect this may be down to the disagreement between MS & Sun over Java and now MS are doing their own thing again which 'extends' the standards

To allow Javascript to run in IE6 under SP2 without the Blocker prompt, change IE6 options as follows, click Tools then Internet Options, click the Advanced tab, scroll down to the Security heading and tick the checkbox against "Allow active content to run in files on My Computer"
I have have looked into Firefox issues and now have a partial fix. links to family, education & occupation now work, child links now have a different problem! The picture viewer works but suffers the same issue as IE in that pictures are not resized to correct height/width ratio. If you keep going round the slides they are sometimes correct! Download site has been updated with this fix.

Thanks for that. It has cured the first problem in that I can now get into the file. However IE6 now behaves like Firefox, ie does not move to #0_0.
I will explore options, but if only life was simple!

IE6 now takes 15 secs to load my file from disc. Firefox takes 5
The picture viewer now works in IE6, but it still does not move down to children ie #0_1 etc.
Is it necessary to use this way of identifying children? V1.9 links directly to the GenoPro id

Since I have also a lot of pictures related to education & occupation (edit via ctrl+E) I like to give people the chance to see at least the first picture, however better all the pictures via a slide-show. In order to make the page look better I think these pictues should be left (if included) to the education & occupation (notes).
I am also using sometimes "Firefox". The display (including your tools webpage) shows up different from IE6.

I think I've sorted the problem with child links in IE & Firefox, it was my lack of understanding of HTML as I'm 'learning on the job' here! IE is a bit more forgiving (and misleading) than Firefox which, as you would expect, sticks rigidly to the standard.
As regards pictures, I've made some progress but not there yet. It is to do with cacheing, now the pictures don't change until you've clicked round once! I'm trying to get the size before the picture has loaded. I'll revisit this problem after the weekend, hopefully I can use the picture sizes in the GenoPro object model rather that trying to get this info dynamically from the JavaScript Image object.
Maru-san, I couldn't at first see how you were associating pictures with education & occupation events but I assume you mean pictures associated with the place of education, i.e. school, university etc. and similarly for occupation rather than the education/occupation item itself. I wasn't aware that this feature was in GenoPro. If this is the case then yes I should be able to add some code to deal with it, once I've got the slide viewer working properly.
I also want to make the slide viewer a slide show as well, i.e. pictures change automatically.

Yes, you have figured right. I mean the pictures associated with places, at the moment related to education and occupation. I use them very extensively and always ask for pictures of relatives. Farms, buildings, etc.
In my own case pictures related to the various jobs in many parts of the world will make the report very informative.
Besides I am not in a hurry for this report. But if it is there I will use it.
But since this is still a Beta version, we are not quite sure what other fields for this report will come up.

I've now fixed the picture viewer problem for both IE & Firefox and also added the slide show functionality.
I now want to concentrate on layout improvements, particularily to add more flexibility by moving more of the layout control into the stylesheets (css) rather than directly in the HTML. Hopefully this will allow GenoPro users to added their own 'look' to the reports. For examples of how Cascading Style Sheets (css) can be used to modify the layout of the same HTML file take a look at www.csszengarden.com and try some of the other stylesheets for that page.

Thanks Ron for the great job! The picture problem is indeed fixed and I can see the slide show. For some reason, however, instead of 4 buttons I see 4 little squares with small red X. I assume the first one starts the slide show, but do not know the meaning of the others.
What could be wrong? Thanks, Mark

Sorry, I forgot to add the new png images to the zip file. They are there now. The functions are play, stop, previous & next. I'll change them to gifs in the next version as IE does seem to support transparent png files.
