- privileges
Some browsers (i.e. all mozilla-based) need special privileges
for some actions, mainly reading files. These privileges are
not set automatically but only on demand.
Each button sets the listed privilege. Watch out for exceptions.
Buttons work immediately, no [reload] necessary.
-
Due to good security reasons some browser restrict access to
the full path of the file given with the input type=file
tag. If we want to read such files from the local system
anyway, we need to provide a proper path to the directory.
Default of this path is given in the URL, which is most likely
sufficient if EnDe is served from file:///.
NOTE that the default will be a full URL with schema if it is
not file:///.
Setting works immediately, no [reload] necessary.

Various problems (see below settings) exist in the behaviour
of standard HTML SELECT menus (the traditional popup
menus in one line and the pulldown arrow right).
For example do all menus use the title= attribute to provide
additional descriptions, in particular most of the menus added
by the Menu File.
Most SELECT menus in EnDe can be replaced with menus
build of UL and A (which support descriptions)
by checking this option. Using flat menus may result in strange
layouts in some sections. It's just an ugly workaround, though ...
NOTE that these menus can be changed permanently by changing
the key html SELECT to html ANCHOR in
the corresponding menu file (i. e. EnDeMenu.txt).

HTML's SELECT menu usualy needs a click on the selected
(OPTION) item.
This is necessary wether it is a single or multiline menu. As we
always want to have just one click, the selected item needs to
call the assigned handler when the "onClick" event is triggered.
This is the default setting as implemented in most browsers.

Some browser don't work proper with "onClick" but with "onChange".
If no action is done when such a menu is used, or the action is
executed with the second click, then this setting might help.
-
A tags use the onClick= attribute to catch
events before calling the assigned URL. If the assigned event
handler returns false, the assigned URL must not be called.
Some browsers do not honor this behaviour but work as expected
when the URL uses the javascript: schema. Unchecking
this option uses href="javascript:..." instead of
onClick= attribute.
Subject to this behaviour are most likely the A tags
used in the selection menus found left in the tools.
-
Workaround for browsers which do not use the OPTION's
innerHTML value for the text visible in the menu but
use the OPTION's label= attribute instead.
If the menus show very long texts and have no title,
setting this option might help.
-
If following error message is shown (in developer window)
the browser needs to be restarted with proper options.
- Firefox:
if privacy.file_unique_origin:false was set:
