I have a showcase on my pages (positioned within an html box). On a mac it works fine, but on a pc it breaks… only half the image shows.
Is this a know bug? or does it just not like sitting in a frame? Bit of a problem this one as the clients loves the design so far so I wouldn’t want to change it.
Ahhhhh I originally built the site using moo tools but when that caused problems I rebuilt using Scripty accordion - but that is whats causing the conflict - as soon as the accordion is removed, then IE shows the showcase correctly.
So now I’m stuck as I have to use and accordion and the showcase.

It’s the first I’ve heard of it, but it’s possible. If you send your Freeway file (you can just copy the problem page to a new file) into Support they’ll take a closer look.

If it was a jQuery/Prototype conflict, it wouldn’t work in any browser at all.
When a script doesn’t work in IE, the first thing to do is validate the page. If the page isn’t valid, IE will “correct” it for you, with usually tragic results.
Another thing to look for is an array with a trailing comma: [foo, bar, baz,] as IE has huge conniptions about those.
Finally, in Prototype, there is the notion of a prototype (small p) being ‘extended’. This copies a bunch of methods into all similar objects, so that all strings (bits of text) know how to do the include() method, for example. IE doesn’t follow the spec in this regard, so each element on the page that you plan to script will have to have these methods copied into it manually. This is mostly automated for you by Prototype.js, but there are cases where something will work fine in any other browser, and then IE won’t, and the error will be specifically ‘object doesn’t support this method’. When you see that, start looking back up the inheritance chain to see where you missed extending the element before using it.

Just sent to support at softpress dot com
It works in everything on both mac and pc other than IE on pc
in my top down under insert>actions there seems to be a lot of files associated with moo tools ending in .txt, I have gone in to finder and deleted them all, but they still show up in the menu, when I start freeway its says that there are duplicate files and when I try and use moo tools it says that there is a javascipt error, I cannot find my freeways action file even after using the show hidden files command, so can not delete from there, anyone have any ideas, how I can clean this up, as I would like to use moo tools.
First, locate your Actions folder(s). You will have one in ~/Library/Application Support/Freeway 5/Actions and you may also have one at /Library/Application Support/Freeway 5/Actions.* Inside either Actions folder you will see one or more folders. The General folder is where Freeway will put an Action when you use the drag-and-drop install method. Some Actions (like the Moo Actions) require sub-folders be placed in this folder in a specific manner. If you can locate your installation instructions from the Moo Actions, that would be the first thing I would look into. Be sure that you have removed all of these subfolders before you try re-installing, and check the instructions for the specifics of what goes where when you re-install.

*If you’re using Lion, you will need to use a trick to expose either of these folders, as the Library folders are hidden by default. In the Finder, press Shift-Command-G to open the Go to Folder dialog. Type in either of the paths I noted above (the tilde means use my Library folder, no matter who you are logged in as) and press Return. The Finder will show you the previously hidden folder and its contents. The moment you navigate away from that folder in Finder, it will hide again, and you’ll have to use the shortcut to expose it again.
