Re: HTDialog ...


I am not sure whether this has reached the list or not - but in case you have 
already seen it then please ignore it - otherwise sorry for the delay :-)

The application can use the predefined versions of the Dialog messages but 
it can also register its own - just like you're doing. The only thing 
that's important is that as they are call back functions they must have be of 
the right type, that is HTAlert_callback which is defined in HTAlert.html. 
There's a bit more information about error handling at

I can think of four things to check:

1) Have you set the Interactive mode to on in the HTAlert module? Use the 

	void HTAlert_setInteractive (BOOL interactive);
	BOOL HTAlert_interactive (void)

   methods to do this

2) Have you registered a "save locally" stream to dump it to local disk? 
Something like

    /*
    ** This dumps all other formats to local disk without any further
    ** action taken
    */
    HTConversion_add(c,"*/*", "www/present", HTSaveLocally, 0.3, 0.0, 0.0);

3) What does HTAlert_find return? Check what and if it returns soemthing

4) Try and run with all verbose output turned on then you will get information 
by the alert module.
