I wonder if this happens with anyone else - because I tried on another
PC and same thing...
Anyhow, this is my workaround for the time being. It's actually quite
neat because you can have the worker in the same file. Tested to work
in IE7, Firefox 3 & Chrome.
// index.js
var _wp = google.gears.factory.create('beta.workerpool');
_wp.onmessage = function(a, b, msg) {
alert('Received message: ' + msg.body);
}
function worker() {
var _wp = google.gears.workerPool;
_wp.onmessage = function(a, b, msg) {
_wp.sendMessage('Got message from worker URL: ' + msg.body,
msg.sender);
}
}
var _child = _wp.createWorker(worker.toString() + 'worker();');
_wp.sendMessage('test', _child);
Cheers
Chris
