If is.ie55 is true, is.ie4 and is.ie5 are false. Consequently, code that has to check for features available in newer versions of IE has to be updated all the time. Case in question: the oncontextmenu event on IE 5 and newer versions is currently (rel 2.54) not handled correctly since the code reads (dynapi.event.mouse.js - line 155) if (is.ie5) this.doc.oncontextmenu=function(){ return false }; What if the ie4, ie5, etc properties were initialized in the following manner: this.ie4=this.ie5=(this.version.indexOf('MSIE 5')>0); this.ie4=this.ie5=this.ie55=(this.version.indexOf ('MSIE 5.5')>0); this.ie4=this.ie5=this.ie55=this.ie6=this.version.index Of('MSIE 6')>0); I make the assumption that backward compatibility holds ie features found in IE4 are still available in newer browsers. Is it too much ? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- >Comment By: Robert Rainwater (rainwater) Date: 2001-07-22 13:33 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=16618 It is important to distinguish between the browsers. For instance there is a bug in ie 5.5 with images in layers. So, we wouldn't want to perform a bug fix for ie 6. Also, ie5 is true for the ie5.5 browser. IE 5.5 was added because of the new features that were introduced that are not available in ie5. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=105757&aid=440013&group_id=5757 _______________________________________________ Dynapi-Dev mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/dynapi-dev
