General Tech Notes
Understanding WebAssist Activation
WebAssist uses product activation to help eliminate piracy and keep software costs low. This TechNote discusses WebAssist product activation and what to do when you encounter an activation error.
WebAssist Triggers - Unleash the Power
One feature unique to WebAssist extensions is the concept of triggers. A trigger detects a specific event and runs a server behavior or other function. The power of triggers in WebAssist extensions lies in the flexibility they give you as a developer. Unlike the triggers in native Dreamweaver server behaviors, WebAssist triggers can fire in reaction to many different kinds of events, even those contained in other pages. This document provides background information and discusses the appropriate use of the various triggers available.
Memo Fields and Dreamweaver 8.0.2
In Dreamweaver 8.0.2, when a dynamic page generated with the ASP JavaScript server model attempts to update an Access memo field or Microsoft SQL server nText field, "null" is displayed instead of the memo field value. While the issue applies to DataAssist, the described fix could be applied to any affected dynamic page. The issues stems from the changed Recordset server behavior in Dreamweaver 8.0.2 which does not properly alter the cursor location property. This TechNote shows you how to fix this problem by adding a single line of code.
