Click to Open appears in the lower left corner of browser as part of the pages of your running application. Clicking on this component, and then on an object in the browser window, opens the relevant WOComponent in Eclipse. This makes life easier for UI designers and for developers getting familiar with new projects. It also provides some other very slick debugging tools. 4 4 5 -Check out the [[screencast at the mDimension build site>>http://webobjects.mdimension.com/wolips/support/screencasts/WOLipsFramework.m4v]] 5 +Check out the [[screencast at the mDimension build site>>url:http://webobjects.mdimension.com/wolips/support/screencasts/WOLipsFramework.m4v||shape="rect"]] 6 6 7 -Click to Open is a browser based extension to WOLips found in [[Project Wonder>>WONDER :Home]].7 +Click to Open is a browser based extension to WOLips found in [[Project Wonder>>doc:WONDER.Home]].
