If you send me a screenshot (fred@bridgebase.com) I will look into it.

I am also one of the old school who prefers the Windows bbo as it is easy to manually alter lin files etc

The "iframe" hand someway above by xx1943 didn't work for me but I have been playing with handviewer and have modified code a little as follows
I always know the code is going to work as I save the code in Word and it turns blue like an email does. If it doesn't turn blue it ain't gonna work
Just remove the "" quotations marks at start and finish then copy into a word doc and take it from there, making sure there are no spaces as these forums tend to invent spaces where there isn't any. It works I've tried it

As a matter of interest I have tried to add very long "annotations" and "comments" to handviewer and their seems to be a limit, around 450 characters.If this is exceded the prog will not run the distance but just halt someway before the finish.

Question: What is the max length for the above type code

Handviewer is far from straight forward and as I had no problem with designing lin files I think the current incomplete version of handviewer will frustrate many.

When finished with all associated help files I'm sure it will as good as current old version (Windows)

I have quite large lin files that I use for tutorials that have up to 40 hands in them
It will be interesting to know if you can string together many hands in handviewer.

I have windows XP and Internet Explorer 6.0 and handviewer displays nicely

Cheers

I started whipping together a tool this morning that will help with building deals from scratch. Everything is done except for the play of the hand and annotations for both the bidding and play. It's in Excel, so it won't work if you don't have that program (there's macros).

Anyway, it's a work in progress but I thought some might be interested in having a look. Here's a link:

cheers greg very very useful tool

Excellent greg.
Have written several macros in VB but yours is indeed very concise.
This will simplify designing and displaying hands in handviewer for everyone
Congratulations .. nice code

Thanks guys. Programming has been a hobby on and off for the last 28 years and sometimes, when things come together well, I think that I may have missed my calling. My new project is teaching myself php. Maybe someday when I'm all grown up I can go work for Fred!!!

Fred thinks 1024 after the ? in the URL, but not sure.

I generally end up splitting the movies into 2 parts because of this also. Safer.

Thank Greg. When I hit Update URL, if the URL created is automatically transformed into a tiny url, it will be great.

I love the hand editor, but when I export my deal to it, I cannot alter the bidding and the play. What I can do is simply adding comments. Sometimes I want to alter the bidding and the play so that I can demonstrate somethings, e.g. the correct play, etc., I have to manually replicate the hand into the hand editor which I think is troublesome.

By adding the function of editing saved deal, the hand editor will become much more useful.

If you save a deal in the Hand Editor (Options, Export, Save) you can edit it in the future (Options, Export, Hand Editor).

Fred, thx for your quick reply, but it seems not working for me. I still can't edit the deal directly.

What I have to do now is to save a deal to a folder (let's say TEMP), open hand editor, click "Deal source" >> "use saved deal" and select the folder TEMP. Then I click "Redeal" and I can edit the saved deal. But it's not convenience at all. Or did I miss any steps?

Thx again for the fascinating handviewer. Well done, Fred!

Thanks Uygar. I am glad you like Handviewer.

At this point in time what you describe is not possible. I haven't done any work on Handviewer in a while and it is not clear when I will get a chance to work on that program again. Probably the time will come however, when I implement something along the lines of what you suggest.
