Ron,
The person who was suggesting the hiding/displaying of the notes is me. I've used the same feature due to the fact that I hold a lot of background data (including manuscripts of the official paperwork) in the comments.
rgds,
Ronald

Thank you, Ron, for the recent update, and congratulations!
I tried the new version out and here's the buglist:
MAJOR BUGS:
#1 "Error at line 80 (init.htm) : Object doesn't support this property or method: 'LanguageDictionary.Families' Microsoft VBScript runtime error 800A01B6". Replacing 'LanguageDictionary.Families' by "Families" wasn't enough, I had to replace 'LanguageDictionary.Individuals' by "Individuals", too, and not only in init.htm but also in toc_families.htm and tree.htm.
#2 Maybe as a result of #1, toc_individuals went crazy. Instead of displaying amount of individuals in parenthesis, it displays names (corresponding ordinal number + 1)! Example:
Name Index
Doe (John Smith) <-- (4) <-> 5th name in the index
F Janet Doe
M Jake Doe
M Jeremy Doe
F Regina Doe
Smith (Jake Doe) <-- (1) <-> 2nd name in the index
F John Smith |
#3 On my Grandma's page it says "Ilma's partner was ." and "Ilma's family with <Unknown>:" although everything seems to be right in GenoPro! Even in the Report tab there's my grandpa's name as only spouse. I found out that deleting the hyperlink to another GenoMap corrects the problem but I can't figure out WHY. Can you fix this?
Minor bugs:
#1 Space before period in Occupation Details if only profession entered, for example: "John's occupation was Butler .". Double space when only working place (and profession) is entered, for example: "John's occupation was Butler at Somewhere.".
#2 An individual in my tree has two children of whose name's I do not know. Everywhere else text "<Unknown>" is displayed but on her individual page just above "Family/Partnership Notes" there's a sentence: "They have two children named and .".
#3 If individual has more than one family, title text "John's family #2 with Daisy Doe:" begins next to the lastborn child's picture of the previous family. A new paragraph would be nice.
#4 'Spouse pictures' slideshow doesn't work right. I have two pictures of my spouse. Changing the first to second is ok, but I can't get the first one back after that! On her own individual page the slideshow works fine.
# In Firefox browser the picture pop-up window seems to be too small. The image is automatically resized right after the pop-up appears. Maybe a few extra pixels are needed?
Questions:
- Is it on purpose that the picture description text the filename of the picture file? I find it rather irritating. Couldn't it be the contents of Picture Description/Comments?

Thanks, Ron! 
In regards to grammar, I've been taught that the extra comma is optional in British English, and it's up to the writer to use it or not.
Though I'm Canadian, I haven't read anything that says Canadian English differs in this regard from the British way (and my English teacher hasn't said anything either!), so my inner Grammar Nazi feels perfectly OK adding that wee lil' extra comma to narrative lists. 8)
EDIT: OK, I've run a test with my family tree, and have run into a slight problem.
If the family had three or more children, the narrative reads*, "John and Jane have three children named Mary, Jack, and Robert." However, if the family has only two children, the narrative says, "John and Jane have two children named Mary, and Elizabeth."
I also found the line for modifying sibling lists, and added a comma there too. Not very surprisingly, I also have this same problem there.
Help! :?
*Obviously, I'm continuing my example name usage. This is because my real family hasn't consented to online publication yet.

Ta again for the feedback, and thanks rboshuis for the hide/show notes idea.
I getting near the end of fixing reported bugs and implementing suggestions so should have a revised version ready within a day or two, unless Dan releases beta 14 in the mean time, in which case I may have to rework some of it. I'll leave conversion to Javascript for another time!
For the ", and' issue from Randee15, I'll add another Dictionary entry, ConjunctionCommaAnd that those that want ", and" can set it to that value, but I'll default it to just " and ". A bit of extra coding is also needed for the special case of two siblings/children.
In reply to rjn, I think I can fix most of the bugs, but I'm not sure about #3 yet.
In answer to your question, GenoPro sets the 'picture name' field to the filename by default but you can change this afterwards, so you can either give your pictures a descriptive name, edit the picture name field, or set it to space if you don't want anything to appear.

Thanks for your reply.
I guess the major bug #3 is because of the general problem in Report Generator handling hyperlinks so it might be best to wait Dan's action to correct this amongst the other problems around internal hyperlinks.
The question I asked was a rather dumb one because I just found out that I had missed that particular field where the text can be changed. Doh. :lol: (Should probably visit an optician or sleep more.)
Anyway, thank you in advance for corrections.

I also added separate pages with:
- all email addesses, so I can easily send an email to everyone when I create a major upgrade of the web site
- a list of all contact details (for other reasons)
rgds,
Ronald

Update: I've removed links from this post, see later posts for latest revision of template and preview. See Topic7075-60-1.aspx&start=47
I believe most reported bugs are fixed, for other changes see home page of preview. I'm not sure about IE Guilotine bug. Found an error in code but can't get an example of bug.
No doubt you will all let me know if there are some I haven't fixed or new ones discovered.
UPDATE: Just found a couple of mistakes. If you downloaded before 23:00 GMT on Sun 24th Jul please download again - content of links updated.

Thank you for bug fixes.
Still, minor bugs #3 and #5 persist:
#3: If individual has more than one family, title text "John's family #2 with Daisy Doe:" begins next to the lastborn child's picture of the previous family. A new paragraph would be nice.
Looks like this
____
| |John was born...
| p |Partner:....
| i | Children: ...
| c | Arthur's family #2 with Daisy Doe
----- Wife's pictures
|
instead of:
____
| |John was born...
| p |Partner:....
| i | Children: ...
| c |
-----
Arthur's family #2 with Daisy Doe
Wife's pictures
|
#5: The picture window is too small if it's the same size that the image itself! Maybe it's because of window borders or something...?
One minor thing I noticed is that when I display notes with more than one line entered (and used linebreak), only the 1st line is indented. Bug or on purpose? Looks silly to me.

Created my report with the new skin from ron and realized something , which is not correct in my opinion (at least when tranlated into German or Japanese).
Since you create a page for an individual, you do not say "they have .... x children", but "he/she has/had ..x children". "They" belongs on a family page.
When let's say one child passes away during the lifetime of one of the parents, you also do not say he/she has a child, but he/she had a child, depending on how many children passed away.
Another thing for the eyes and for the print out. Can you align the top of the pictures with the text of education/occupation. It works naturaly if the picture is in portrait layout and the education/occuptaion text is short.
I am resizing the pictures of the individual to 200 x 200 and those of the places to 120 x 120, with no picture of the wife, since she has her own page.
Is it necessary to display the picture name underneath of the pictures, since the name appears when you move the mouse cursor over the picture and besides you have a description of the picture? The control of the pictures should then move along with the picture (should always stay close to the picture)

I've noticed two bugs, I think:
1. I changed the wording from "This marriage was annulled" to "Their marriage was annulled". When I ran a report, the report says, "Their marriage was annulled. Their marriage was anulled.Mary's second husband was..."
I don't think my changing one word has anything to do with this oddity, but I thought I'd be thorough.
2. When I generate a report, it says "LanguageDictionary.Lookup("Child_") failed!" And it says it's an error.
But the report itself seems unaffected by this bug.
