Re: Re: xMonitor test release 2

[Kevin Hawkins <yahoogroupskh@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I had a couple of minor ones too J  but you got that update out sooo
quickly ;-)

The settings aren't saved using 'update'  from the config settings tab
(can edit in manually)
Saving changes from the 'devices' tab takes you back to the config
screen (probably ok but different to update)
Main tab 'overview' screen doesn't AJAX update - is it supposed to ? (
haven't looked at source yet )
Could you pick up on the hbeat.stopped message for an immediate status
change ?
xAP message display window entitled 'thickbox'

cheers K
