RE: SM 2 Composer, possibly total insanity?
System: Windows all -- Repeatable in all Win OS systems
In the SM 2 Composer, in Preview, none of the links are enabled(!)
Hence, users can not click on a link in Composer Preview mode, and have that
link opened in a browser...in this case the preferred browser would of course
be SM 2.
Double-clicking on the link -- on the hyperlink -- does nothing but open the link properties, but nothing else. No amount of CTRL, SHIFT, ALT or anything else makes the link work.
Something perfectly logical is totally missing here.
The same situation in ANY other HTML "editor" that has anywhere near a Preview function of course enables the link, allowing it to become "hot" and ready to work or test... e.g., moving the mouse or pointer over the hypertext link produces the enabled and confirmed "little pointing finger".
There's no SM 2 or Composer preferences setting either; one that would allow "enable links in Preview mode" or not allow it.
Not trying to be mean, but is this lack of common operating procedure in SM 2's
Composer Preview actually intended to be this totally limited way ?
If so, that's a major overlooked problem...not a "special SM 2 feature"

Joe,
While in Composer, Preview simply gives you an 'dumb' overview of the
page you are working on. To get an 'active' view, you need to click on
BROWSE at which point all of your links will be enabled and you can
click an connect to local and remote links. To return to the editor,
close the browser screen....this is the way the composer has always
worked for me since Netscape 4.7.
