    Hi

    The html component in your examples (weather) does not have either scroll bar showing - even if you reduce the size of your standard box (eg reduce the height to cover 'click here for more - weather zone' you still do not see a scroll bar. However with other html pages you seem to always get the 'vertical' (even if the page is smaller) and also the horizontal if the web page is wider than the box - why??

    Email subject, body etc do not word wrap correctly (ie they run ouside the component box) in some instances the body also runs out below the box. in addition it often shows more than just plain text - see attachments

    Finally - it appears that if you have a page with email components on it, that if this page times out and you then click back into that page (simultion mode - pc only - not tested on the cbus screen yet) that this crashes Piced

    The HTML wizard builds a small HTML page which wraps up the image from the weather web site and removes the scroll bars:

    Code:
    <HTML>
<STYLE TYPE="text/css">
body {
  overflow:hidden;
  margin:0;
  border:0;
  padding:0;
}
</STYLE>
<script type="text/javascript"
  src="http://www.weatherzone.com.au/woys/graphic_forecast.jsp?postcode=5000">
</script>
<a href="http://www.weatherzone.com.au"></a>
</HTML>
    You can manually change this if you want. Alternatively, just place an HTML component on the page and use the URL for the weather report directly.

    It only puts in line breaks between words. If you have ridiculously long words, you will get the problem you have seen. Normal text works fine.

    We will try to replicate this.

    Does this then upload to cbus?

    As this seems to effect about half of the emails, a future solution might be good.

    Thanks for all of your help - it is a great program!

    We will try to replicate this.

    I have solved this problem by adding a 'Networking Setup' button - it will not let you "prepare configuration data file..", without it - having it also stops Piced freezing (so far anyway!)

    Enhancement requests -
    1. Could an email message body component have a vertical scroll bar show when the body (of the email) is longer than the component?
    2. Can the sender/subject/body in built functions be set to show first message, second message, third message etc (ie to enable you to look at a number of emails on the cbus screen at the same time)

    The problem of the text extending beyond the component, I have 'fixed' by having a black background on the page - ie you cannot see the overflowing text on the black.

    Again Thanks

    I am not entirely sure what you mean by this. The HTML file gets transferred with the project to Colour C-Touch.

    We will have a look at it. Issue #20015

    This is in our system as #20016. We have not yet had a chance to try to make it occur. When you say it "crashes" PICED, if you get the message asking you to send the error report to Clipsal, can you do that and make reference to this post in the comments. That will help us work out what is going on.

    This is in our system as #20017. I don't think it will happen soon though.

    This is in our system as #20018.

    Good work-around!
