I'm following the lessons from Steve Workings to get acquainted with Alpha Five before starting doing something serious with it.
I get a strange behaviour when I try to add another component into an a5w page that already has one.
In this last issue, I'm at the ending of the lesson 6.7 "Using a Dialog to Print a PDF Report to the Browser". I open my a5w page named Customers - that already contains a grid component to show the customer grid (search, show and edit), go to the bottom of the page in the WYSIWYG tab, clic on the proper button to insert the dlg_print component, and thi somehow disrupts the page, leaving me with some unwanted characters at the very start of the WYSIWYG page; something like in the attached picture.
I tried a workaround recreating the page from scratch and adding the two component, but the result is the same.
Do I have to learn how the HTML for each component is inserted in the page and do it by myself?
Could be closing and restarting Alpha Five an option?
From the CSDA Code Utility, its description and the testimonials, and from other thread I saw here (for example http://msgboard.alphasoftware.com/al...ad.php?t=82704) I fear that Alpha Five might be a little 'erratic' and that my worst nightmares with Ms Access for the many workarounds I need to invent everytime are not due.
Hope someone could reassure me.
Thanks
