Great! Thanks for doing so much grunt work Andrew. I'd still be interested in knowing what the problem is with your version of firefox though.
I'm on ubuntu linux with ff 1.5.0.5, what about you? On 8/17/06, Andrew Ofisher <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
Ok. I found the culprit. Not sure if this needs to be submitted to dojo as well. It seems that the embed tag is never ended properly, which places the contents of the whole page under the object tag for the flash file. When flash is not available, the rest of the page does not display properly. dojo.js line 8072 (also dojo.uncompressed.js line 11830) or the original file flash.js line 717: The line ends with escape(dojoPath); and the next line continues appending to the string with a + 'pluginspage..... The fix is to remove the semicolon; easy as that. Firefox or any browser without flash will now display the page correctly without needing disableFlashStorage: true. This is already fixed in the latest version of dojo so no need to submit a patch/file bug there. It still exists under the demo section of the tacos-4.0 trunk.... This does not fix the crashing I am experiencing with Firefox i386 and the macromedia flash plugin enabled, but that has to be a firefox or flash bug, not dojo. -Andrew Ofisher On 8/16/06, Andrew Ofisher <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Ok, after some debugging (I love firefox), I am starting to see what is > going on.
