Multiple Modes with Preview in the Same IE8 Accelerator

  • Article

As a test, I wrote a simple page that would leverage preview and execute across multiple modes in the same accelerator.

UPDATE: Thanks to some helpful folks, I have found that accelerator preview blocks the passing of documentUrl as a safety precaution for SELECTION accelerators and LINK accelerators.  So, the below XML should have those preview sections removed. documentUrl is passed for EXECUTE actions though.
