 * '''The keyboard buttons don't work while presenting''' wydiwys is still being developed. It probably doesn't work on all browsers, and may never work on the really old ones with inadequate Javascript support. The '''wydiwys.js''' javascript module is what interprets the keypresses and navigates to the next page. Your presentation may have been prepared with an older version of wydiwys.js, so try replacing it with the latest one on this website.  * '''The keyboard buttons don't work while presenting.''' wydiwys is still being developed.

 * '''My wireless presenter doesn't work''' wydiwys ought to work with any wireless presenter, but it has only been tested with a [[ http://www.siig.com/ViewProduct.aspx?pn=CE-WR0012-S1 | SIIG CE-WR0012-S1 ]] and a [[ http://www.targus.com/US/product_details.asp?sku=AMP16US | Targus AMP16US ]] presenter. These both make codes 33 for BACK, 34 for FORWARD, and 66 for ENTER (which is the white square/black square on the front of the Targus, and the white screen/black screen on the right of the SIIG). Other codes are easily added to wydiwys, and you can find out what they are with [[ http://unixpapa.com/js/testkey.html | this tool ]] ( click on all the "suppress handling" checkboxes) . Note that some of the buttons on these presenters emit multiple codes and have toggle modes - a keypress alternates between one set of multiple codes and another. BTW, make sure your presenter is '''turned on''' and the USB plug is '''plugged in''' and the '''battery is fresh'''.  * '''My wireless presenter doesn't work.''' wydiwys ought to work with any wireless presenter, but it has only been tested with a [[ http://www.siig.com/ViewProduct.aspx?pn=CE-WR0012-S1 | SIIG CE-WR0012-S1 ]] and a [[ http://www.targus.com/US/product_details.asp?sku=AMP16US | Targus AMP16US ]] presenter.

wydiwys FAQ

(under construction)

  • It doesn't work! (uhhh ... what doesn't work???)

  • The keyboard buttons don't work while presenting. wydiwys is still being developed. It probably doesn't work on all browsers, and may never work on the really old ones with inadequate Javascript support. The wydiwys.js javascript module is what interprets the keypresses and navigates to the next page.

  • Where's the GIT repository? Soon, soon.
