Since downloading the CCS Beta, I have been generally pleased. There are problems (such as inability to make a global change to the data source, or the theme after the initial wizard runs, and failure of the IDE to remove dead object classes such as those for data access after they are changed or deleted)... but I do not know where to report issues since there did not seem to be any instructions for beta bug reporting.
SO, this looks like as good a place as any... here goes.
I don't know if anyone else noticed, but all of the themes have incorrect relative paths defined in them. While something like 'Themes\Clear\background.gif' works just find in Code Charge Studio itself, as in all things Micro$oft, it is incorrect and not resolvable by standards-based browsers.
The correct syntax is 'Themes/Clear/background.gif' with the correct 'forward-slash' separator, not the MS-DOS 'back-slash' separator... This is NOT a DOS file system we are coding for, but an internet URL.
SOLUTION: Open each and every *.cct file in {your installation directory}\Components\Themes and replace all occurrences of '' with '/'. Things work then.

What browser/version do you use that doesn't understand this syntax ?

The 'browser' is NOT the problem... the syntax is incorrect.... Any standards compliant browser will understand the CORRECT syntax, but since the INCORRECT SYNTAX is NOT the STANDARD, it is irrational and incorrect reasoning to 'expect' a standards compliant browser to understand it... or to propogate it in a development tool such as CCS that ostensibly targets platforms that adhere to the standards. The solution is to fix the incorrect syntax.
Under Windows: Netscape 6.X and M$oft IE understand the incorrect syntax
Under Windows: Mozilla 1.0 does NOT understand the incorrect syntax
Under Windows: Netscape 6.X, M$oft IE AND Mozilla 1.0 ALL understand the CORRECT syntax.
Under Linux: Netscape 6.X understands the incorrect syntax
Under Linux: Mozilla 1.0 and Konqueror do NOT understand the incorrect syntax
Under Linux: Netscape 6.X, Mozilla 1.0 and Knoqueror ALL understand the CORRECT syntax.

Dear Mr Browning,
I have to say that I agree completely and utterly with your post. Browser tollerance is not an excuse for implementing shoddy markup.
Roll on XHTML which will insist on much stricter compliance with W3C standards.
