We announce the immediate availability of Servoy 2.1 beta 2
NOTE: this is BETA SOFTWARE, use with caution and make BACKUPS before you start.
Install in a separate directory, not in your default Servoy directory (so you can easily move back to your production version). Before launching it make sure Sybase is not running to avoid connecting to your production repository. If you do not know how to stop Sybase restart your machine.
Do not use in production.
Most important new features:
-Intenationalization (i18n)
-Type-ahead
-Cascading Style Sheet support
We hope to post some more background information on this new features within a few days.

Where I need to define the css styles that can used with fields.
I failed to stop the previous version so I installed the beta which overwrote the directory and I have a repository problem. How can I correct this? I haven’t been doing any production work with this so data loss is not an issue.

Can you post a few more details?
what repository error are you getting? If you install over an old version that shouldn’t cause any problems. Also: what do you mean with “I failed to stop the previous version”?
OK, but I am a little confused by your reply. Your instruction clearly state we must stop Sybase before installing, and I didn’t and you ask what that means. What do YOU mean by stopping Sybase?
The error is “Cannot find recent repository (version) on current server connection, do you want to create/upgrade?”
Click OK, get error “Cannot create repository”
java.lang.NullPointerException
?? ,You can assign a style to a form, and assign optional type classes to elements.
I tried dotted as border-style and it does not do anything…
hmm, seems not be mapped, will be in beta3
To what level do you support CSS?
We support the following properties:
background-color
color
border-style
border-width
border-color
text-align
vertical-align
margin
font-family
font
We have defined the following element types:
field
portal
label
button
tabpanel
form (in beta 3)
not all properties are supported on all element types
for example a field does not have vertical-align (there is also no such property in the normal property editor) and portal does not have a margin…
