Re: [Laszlo-dev] Parsing order of dataset attributes

[Jim Grandy]

So the grid component creates attributes under the covers when it is  
binding against a dataset? I'm still confused about how attributes  
enter into the picture here.

(Somebody correct me if I'm wrong) The attributes are in a hash  
table and the order they are processed is browser/platform  
dependent. It appears as though the hash table is built in reverse  
order in legals compared to OL3 (and swf iterates on a hash table  
in a predictable order).

What behavior would you like to see? Is it sufficient for the  
behavior of legals/swf to match OL3, or does it need to match  
legals/dhtml as well?

Thanks!

Are we sure it is order of attributes? This is order of data nodes
during binding.

Either way,  don't think we can just close this bug -- it's a
significant change in behavior from OL3.
