Re: CSS Update

[John Hammonds <JPHammonds@anl.gov>]

I have been playing around with this the last couple of days, especially 
with SDS.  I seem to be finding that either not all of the widgets are 
functional or I am missing something major in the setup.  Things like 
sliders, thumbwheels, bargraphs,16bit LEDs,stripcharts and the meter are 
working but the Express Meter, Knob, gauge, Text Input, tank and 
thermometer do not.  Just wandering how much of this is me missing 
something and how much is just problems yet to solve.  Note that I am 
starting with the Basic distribution.
