[opencms-dev] JavaScript problem solved

[Olli Aro]

Hmmm... we have similar problems. I thought everyone was experiencing them
(that is why has been recommending my client to upgrade to IE 6). If it is
not about browser version, could it be a browser / OS language issue? Bryan,
Achim what is your OS language?

Regarding JavaScript customising:

All JavaScript functions are held in /system/workplace/scripts/. However,
every workplace page has their own html code with some more javascript.
These can be found in /system/workplace/templates/. And to end with all html
code is mapped together with a Java class to interact with the CMS. These
mappings are in /system/workplace/action/.

It is all quite complicated, but I believe should be greatly simplified in
next release, because the workplace is developed in JSPs instead.
