<gridcolumn/> and <gridtext/> reference examples broken

[binil]

I am looking at the <a href="http://www.laszlosystems.com/lps-2.2/docs/reference/">LZX reference</a>. The reference examples for <gridcolumn/> and <gridtext/> dont show up.

I tried the "edit" option and enabled debugger, and I get the following error :

datasource error for http://laszlosystems.com/lps/demos/contacts/contactsdata.xml:HTTP Status code:


Secondly, please make the examples not depend on the internet. I am trying out Laszlo in my freetime after work, and I have installed it on my laptop which does not have an internet connection. Hence I am unable to see the examples which depend on an internet connection which I am trying out my prototype. :( Of course, I understand the point of demonstrating the ability to pick XML datasets over a network connection, but kindly make the LZX reference of other components free of it.

Finally, thanks again for your huge opensource contribution - the code and the documentation!

Thanks,
Binil

Thanks for the feedback.

In general, we have tried to make examples not dependent on the internet, and most examples do not have that dependency-- if you have downloaded and installed LPS, that is. The only examples that should rely on the internet are those that illustrate a point about remote sources or remote connections.

Having said that, I'll take a look at this example to see if there's a way around the problem.

Thank you for responding!

I agree that remote datasources are an important feature of Laszlo and you should defnitely have example code for that. But the instance I was mentioning was the component reference for <grid/>, <gridcolum/> and <gridtext/> components. These components are related to datasets in general and not to remote sources. Hence my suggestion.

Thanks,

you can also use your localhost to access the documents

startup server .. then ..

No, you didn't get what I was trying to say. The examples code in the LZX reference for <gridcolum/> and <gridtext/> components uses a remote dataset.
