Configuring the render engine of visual editor

You can configure Mozilla XULRunner as the render engine for visual editor.

About this task

Dojo Mobile is an HTML5 JavaScript framework, Internet Explorer (IE) before version 9 is not the optimal platform for EGL mobile widgets development. The default Internet Explorer for Rational® Business Developer V8.5.x is IE7. Therefore, before you use the EGL mobile widgets, ensure that your RBD has been configured to use Mozilla XULRunner as the visual editor’s render engine to avoid render results.
CAUTION:
If you cannot select Mozilla XULRunner, ensure that you have a 32-bit RBD installed. RBD of 64-bit does not support Mozilla XULRunner. For 64-bit RBD, result can only be previewed outside of RBD with a browser like Chrome, Firefox, or Safari.

To configure Mozilla XULRunner as the render engine for visual editor:

Procedure

  1. Click Windows > Preference to open the preference dialog.
  2. Navigate to EGL > Rich UI > Appearance.
  3. On the Visual Editor Render Engine section of the General tab, select Mozilla XULRunner.
