Hi Phil, I feel your pain. -- I've felt it myself on far too many occasions.
If you know the tricks for getting it to start up, there is a pretty good debugger for IE 7. See http://www.berniecode.com/blog/2007/03/08/how-to-debug-javascript-with-visual-web-developer-express/ and here is the link to the debugger download: http://www.microsoft.com/express/download/default.aspx Regards, Larry ________________________________ From: philw <[email protected]> To: SIMILE Widgets <[email protected]> Sent: Wednesday, January 21, 2009 3:55:09 PM Subject: IE strikes again, but it's not my trailing commas... Ok, I can make it work on Chrome, Safari and FF, but those pesky internet types do use IE occasionally, and... you know the story, as I've read all the posts here about it. Well I think I've read them all. My problem's slightly different - I can get the events up and all that is working fine, it's just the start date which I can't set in IE. Well, IE ignores the start date, and also the fact that my two (default) "bands" are synchronized. They're "sort of" synchtonized, but not really, and the timescales start in the middle of the screen at the wrong dates. - this is true using example1.xml or my own rss-derived xml. - this is true if I use a date for the "show this date in the middle when you start up" parameter, or if I leave it out completely. - IE7, Vista, all up to date. No errors or barfs, just bad behaviour. - I've tried clearing the IE cache etc to no avail. - content type : I tried both application/xml and text/xml - makes no odds. But then it's parseing the XML because I can see the events. I don't know enough about all these js files to have a clue why that may be... it gets the events ok, and I can scroll to them, but as above the bands are out of synch (in IE7 only), and I can "run off" the left hand end of the timescale (!) which I just can't do with the other things. It seems like maybe one of the event handlers isn't being called somehow, yet the events are listed ok. The examples are pretty, but I really need a simple canned example which starts with the current date in the centre and which will work in IE7. Then I can hack from that towards where I want to be. I'll go and look for one of those. IE7: the crappiest debug tools and all the bugs. Great. All help gratefully etc. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "SIMILE Widgets" group.
