[mochikit] callLater and IE
Hi,
I'm not sure if this is a bug in Mochikit, or my error.
The following do not work in IE 6:
script
callLater(1, window.print);
callLater(2, alert, 'drink beer');
/script
yet these do:
script
function f() {
window.print();
}
function g() {
alert('drink beer');
}
callLater(1, f);
callLater(2, g);
/script
Works beautifully in Firefox though.Tried with Mochikit 1.3.1 and a
recent dump from SVN.
Any thoughts?
Jon.

Some of these built-in methods and functions aren't actual JavaScript
functions and aren't compatible with Function.prototype.apply, so
using MochiKit directly on them may not work. I think there's a
workaround for it in MochiKIt that makes it work in Firefox and maybe
Safari but I guess that workaround doesn't work properly in IE6.

They are proper functions in Firefox and I believe also in Safari.
This is a known problem in IE which doesn't expose the proper Function
interface on it's built-ins.
There *is* a workaround in MochiKit, applied in Base.bind by wrapping
the function in Base._wrapDumbFunction. Maybe the condition that is
used to check if that workaround should be applied needs revision.
Currently it's
if (typeof(func) == function typeof(func.apply) == undefined) {
I don't have time atm or the proper debugging tools to test this in
IE, but if there are no volunteers I'll have a look sometime.

Changing that to:
if (typeof(func) == object typeof( func.apply) == undefined) {
works for me.

Good. Would you be able to add some tests using your examples and
submit them as well as the fix as a patch? Then we can test it on the
various platforms and commit it if everything works.

[mochikit] Re: Form Validation
I ran into this a few months ago myself. I ended up writing a form validation script that uses json data returned from the server to either display validation errors or a submission confirmation. This has worked out pretty well, and been fairly easy to replicate on other forms.

No and yes - there are not any in the sense you are probably thinking, but by virtue of the fact that MochiKit makes JavaScript suck less, there are. Hope that makes sense. Look through the relatively complete documentation and you will see what is provided; MochiKit has very little in its API that is as task-specific as form validation helpers, instead providing generic helps.
