I personally would love to see some numbers on browser market share when it comes to Opera. We have had no problems on any of our custom apps that are using Dojo for AJAX - working in Safari, FF on windows or the mac - and even on the dreaded IE.

My guess is that Opera doesn't have close to 1% marketshare - anywhere (just a guess if someone has up to date numbers that would be awesome). This doesn't mean that we shouldn't work hard to get these issues working with Opera - and even bug the Dojo guys about - Scott thanks for the link. But what it does mean to me is that more than our users (which is what is important here) - we need to prioritize getting this working for developers.

Walter - does this stuff not work for you on Firefox on Linux?

Cheers,
Tim

Hi Walter

I did a quick google and found this (posted feb '07):
"Xsss4hell, what does “do almost not work” mean? The demos on the web site are currently outdated… we’re redoing the web site, but there are plenty of test cases in the source tree. Most of Dojo works with Opera except for a few bugs here and there. If there are high priority issues you find with Opera, please file bugs in the Dojo trac <http://trac.dojotoolkit.org/>."

I'd hope that someone tests this out considerably before chunking dojo into ofBiz's UI. With a current IE7 and FF 2.0.0.2 on WindowsXP, on dojo's known to be outdated website, there are significant differences even between the behavior of IE and FF. It's kinda scarey that many, not just a few don't work properly with FF. It looks like they wrote the thing with IE in mind and FF is just luck, and just dont work at all with Opera. If it all works *now*, I'll shut up, but the fact that they don't eat their own dogfood is troubling. If their API's changed so much that they cannot just use an updated library, what kinda overhead will ofBiz have to go through when they go from a
.4X to .9X to a 1.0 release this year?

I'm not against change. I'd love to see every list that returns rows of data be sortable automagically.
Text validation. Numeric validation. Did I say sortable columns?
I just dont want to see ofBiz adapt a toolkit that is not 99% compliant, and breaks normal web experience. If the current version of Dojo does meet testing, then I can't wait for Christmas to come!

I know that there is work afoot to integrate some ajax functionality
with the DOJO toolkit. So to see what the deal was I browsed on over
to their foundation's website.
