Read and review every single page in those docs, do not skip anything. This is IMPORTANT! In fact, the HTML docs are important enough that you should *always* have them open in a separate browser window while working with WebCatalog.And don't forget about the excellent examples in the GeneralStore and TeaRoom folders -- they have WebDNA templates that actually work, and trying to understand these examples is a great way to learn the WebDNA language ... :)Sincerely,Ken Grome808-737-6499WebDNA Solutionsmailto:ken@webdna.nethttp://www.webdna.net
