~- Opera (7.2x) implements the standard [[http://www.ecma-international.org/publications/standards/Ecma-262.htm | ECMAscript]] instead of JavaScript. In many cases the difference is minimal, but in Wikka the WikiEdit toolbar does not appear (at all) in Opera. --- //Possible solution: rewrite the WikiEdit toolbar's JavaScript so it is more cross-browser compatible.//

Revision [7682]

Edited on 2005-04-28 14:38:41 by JavaWoman [reply re floats problem in FF 1.0.3]
Additions:
~-Version 1.0.3 doesn't seem to display floats correctly. In particular, when using ##""<<left float<<>>right float>>""## in Wikka to create a two-column layout, FF clears the first float before displaying the second float. This behavior does not occur with other browsers on Mac OS X nor for FF on other platforms.
~~~~~~&I'd have to actually compare some stylesheets that work vs. ones that don't work but I now suspect it may actually be a (subtle) bug in the stylesheets where it doesn't work rather than a FireFox bug. Something like original default stylesheet tested on IE which has a box model bug; a width that will work in IE may then fail in a standards-compliant browser and push the second float down. Will report back. --JW

Additions:
~~~~~& Right, ##javawoman.css## is ok, as well as other stylesheets: it seems then a problem with some stylesheets under Firefox, which doesn't occur with other browsers. Now: a firefox bug or an imperfect support of floats-related CSS in other browsers? -- DT

Additions:
~~~~&Hmm - same problem in FF 1.0.3 in Windows; could it be a stylesheet problem? - Indeed it is (on Windows): when I use my own stylesheet instead of the default one the floats are next to each other. Can you test this on the Mac, please, DarTar? If you see the same it's just a problem/bug in our default stylesheet --JW

Additions:
~-Using the WikiEdit toolbar can crash Safari. While Safari shouldn't crash when encountering JavaScript it cannot handle, more cross-browser JavaScript might help, too. --- //Possible solution: rewrite the WikiEdit toolbar's JavaScript so it is more cross-browser compatible.//

Additions:
~-Version 1.0.3 crashes/hangs when scrolling down a page with UTF-8 characters (such as currently found in our SandBox). Maybe it's the mixture of languages? There doesn't seem to be a problem with (non-Wikka) pages in a single UTF-8 character range. --- //No solution known - seems to be a browser bug.//
