Thanks Doug for pinging this. If there are any other things you're
wondering why no one responded to for 2-3 years, feel free to ping them
too. One at a time we can get them all. Thanks for looking into this
one too, Andrew. You beat me to it. :p I too was looking at this. I
did pull a fresh CVS but did not look at the previous commit messages.
I still want to test it just to make sure I understand it and verify
that it's still fixed.
On a related note, since pushing this message through to the Dev list, I
was thinking again. Should I let all these tracker notifications flood
the dev list or make a new list? Well I decided to make a new list for
that, so I have been setting up a list specifically to receive all the
tracker messages from now on. That should be read-only, whereas this
dev list is where any subsequent discussions can take place. I believe
I mentioned something about this way back on the admin list, no replies.
:p Anyways it's how MinGW is doing it, and that seems to work well
enough.
BTW: If anyone wants to ping in a real-time chat setting, pop on to IRC
/server irc.freenode.net and /join #dynapi . I leave myself idling in
there. Sometimes I am away and my system might crash (or someone else
powers off), and I may or may not see a message in the logs when I next
connect. But generally I am on there and check the window a few times
an hour. If I disconnect without responding, there's the chance I miss
a message, so you can leave a system message if it's critical. So far
no one but me has ever been there when I was there, so whoever is first
will get a +v. :p Gaim is a nifty multi-IM (including IRC) and
multi-OS client (including Linux & Windows), if you need a simple IRC
client, otherwise mIRC is available for free usage in Windows.

Subject: Re: [Dynapi-Dev] [ dynapi-Bugs-840767 ] mouse_ie.js null error,
with possible patch
I've closed this bug. The patch was actually applied by Raymond quite
a long time ago.
His CVS comment was:
revision 1.7
date: 2003/09/14 14:36:00; author: xwisdom; state: Exp; lines:
+2 -3
Patch for dynapi.api.MouseEvent bug
submitted by Peter Romianowski updated by Raymond
I guess there are probably other items in the bug list that should be
closed.
Thanks Doug for raising this one.
If you find any more like this, please let us know :-)
Andrew.

Summary: mouse_ie.js null error, with possible patch
Initial Comment:
Background: Two objects on page (among others, but these seem to be
the "offenders."
1) A single DynLayer with a single assigned eventListener for
mouseover/mouseout, and using the glideTo method. Used to scroll a
navigation menu up and down at top of page. 2) A form button, disabled
by default, with a "title" attribute set. No onmouseover
trap defined for this button.
Symptom:
On rapid mouseover over the button, javacript error in line 71 of
mouse_ie.js. "null is not an object."
Interesting that this only happened when the mouse was moving
quickly. Never happened with slow mouse movement.
Lines 70-74 in mouse_ie.js --
----------------------------------
if (e.type=="mouseout" || e.type=="mouseover") {
if (r && (r==src||src.isParentOf(r))) return; //fix for #15
(ie only)
//if (r&&(r==src.parent||r.isChildOf(src.parent)))
me.bubble=false;
if (r&&(r==src.parent||r.isChildOf(src.parent)))
me.bubble=false;
}
---------------------------------
I eliminated the problem, with no affect on correct functionality, by
changing to this:
Lines 70-76 in mouse_ie.js --
---------------------------------
if (e.type=="mouseout" || e.type=="mouseover") {
if (src != null) { // error handler if src is null
if (r && (r==src||src.isParentOf(r))) return; //fix for
#15 (ie only)
//if (r&&(r==src.parent||r.isChildOf(src.parent)))
me.bubble=false;
if (r&&(r==src.parent||r.isChildOf(src.parent)))
me.bubble=false;
}
}
--------------------------------
May not be the best fix, but it worked for this strange error. I
searched and searched, and never could find WHY this error was
occurring with a form button that is in no way using the DynAPI.

I was experiencing a bug in IE 6 where simply moving the
mouse around would random generate the above error in teh
same code.
This error occurs even when the full extent of you code is
to load the libraries (I.E. no layers created, no event
handlers added.. just load the api and library)
Adding the above mentions fix (checking for src!=null b4
doing stuff to src) fixes this and breaks nothing else as
far as i can tell.
I tested in IE 6 with the mouse event and drag event examples
Could someone please add this fix and post to the cvs.
2 years is long enough for this one imho.
cheers
