Thanks again. I explicitly posted the errors earlier in this thread. I've
operated a web development studio since 1995 so I'm not exactly a beginner
(though the design side is my forte). My questions are basically:

What am I trying to accomplish with ruby? Why won't the javascript files,
css and html run locally? I've built hundreds of websites and never had to
compile one for distribution—especially one based on web standards. So, I
downloaded the test directory, fixed the links to the scripts where needed,
hit "preview in browser, and got no errors or anything on-screen. What's
different between my local files and the same files running online in your
/test directory?

I don't expect a "beginner's" class, but I've never encountered this. If
you would be kind enough to explain what's probably a simple missing link
in my understanding, I'll track down the necessary information and educate
myself.

Your time and technology are greatly appreciated. Sorry to be a persistent
pest, but Monocle seems to be the perfect starting point for an eBook
project I've been writing for 3 years. Technology development started a
month or so ago. This could save me a ton of work and push forward a
project I believe will be groundbreaking. All I want to know is how to
develop with it so I can tweak the CSS and preview the result in the usual
way (or even n some un-usual way).

Thank you,

Dave
