to help you learn the most about these new technologies in just a few
intense days.

New to the agenda this year: two different full-day Pre-Class options,
led by members of the 4D Web 2.0 Pack development team and 4D University

[3] New Tech Note
----------------------------------------------------------------

Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) are an open standard for changing the
appearance of any style element on an HTML page. The new Data Grid,
introduced in 4D Ajax Framework v11 Release 1, is the framework's most
powerful object and it has API calls and classes that allow for easy CSS
manipulation. This Technical Note exposes those commands and classes via
easy-to-follow examples.

A sample database is provided.

Tech notes are exclusive to members of the 4D Partners program. For more

[Gilliam Johnston-2]

Is there a limit to the number of subforms one can place on a form for
printing?  I seem to recall there being an issue  of instability with
multiple subforms in 4D v6.8.  I am now using 4D 2004, and would like to
put 4 or more subforms on a form.  I realize I could just try it, but I
don't know if it could lead to problems down the road even if it seems
to work well initially (when the database is still small).

Thanks,

Gilliam Johnston
