Again, thanks to everyone who responded to my request for testing. I'm
glad you guys like my widget (now that's a sentence that would sound
strange out of context).
Three points:
1) The problem of the dial not updating the text box in Netscape 6 is my
fault on the demo page and has nothing to do with the widget itself. I
was in such a hurry to get the demo up the other day, I just threw
something together. If you look at the code for the page you will see
that I never set up a way to refer to the form element for Netscape 6. I
will rectify that when I put together the zip of the widget and it's
documentation.
2) The "problem" in IE with the dial not updating when you hit return in
the text box is not really a problem, and again has nothing to do with
the widget itself. It's just a browser peculiarity that I decided not to
try to rectify in the demo. You can, as noted on the demo page, tab out
of the input and it works fine. Other than that, you could trap keyboard
events for that form element and if it is a carriage return you could
call the setValue method of the RadioDial. I tried to trigger it in an
onSubmit for IE, then returning false so the browser doesn't try to
submit the form, but it doesn't work.
3) The only other real problem I saw mentioned (besides it working
slowly on some configurations) was that the dial labels were being
cut-off on some browsers. That is something I will look into.
Once more.... thanks, and expect a zip for distribution shortly.
