Alex,
It worked! In fact, I simply copied the sample config.json file included in
the article, modified it to use my application's filenames, and voila!
One question (which I suppose is actually a couple): will I still be able to
access all of the qooxdoo javascript variables from within the main HTML
file? So that, say, if I have two Inline components running in different
places on the same HTML file, I'll be able to allow one to access the
variables of the other. For my own purposes I have a situation where I need
the Inline components to talk among each other, but they really won't work
as one monolithic application. And if they can in fact see each other's
variables (where in practice they become variables floating in the main
HTML(?)), can I/we be sure that any default variables generated by qooxdoo
will not overlap and cause unpredictable or fault-causing behavior?
In the article, you might want to mention that the "root" field should
include the path to the *directory *of the user's HTML file, not to the HTML
file itself. For example, on my first attempt I put "C:/website/site.html"
and it failed; it needs to be just "C:/website".
Many thanks,
Joseph
