Re: Dynamic threading bug (none / 1)

Do you mean the children property was implemented in firefox with a minor upgrade that got auto-downloaded ?

Re: Dynamic threading bug (none / 0)

I suppose this must be the case, since that bit of code has never caused problems before. Checking with the javascript shell <node>.children was indeed implemented in Firefox now.

I find this also:
element - MDC

children New in Firefox 3.5

So children seems to be a new property in Firefox 3.5. Working differently than the property with the same name in IE, though.

Re: Dynamic threading bug (none / 0)

The comment tree works for me now, btw. So please check that this was the problem also for you.

duh !
I'm still in 3.0.11 on the PC, gotta check on the Mac (which has the bug too), but I'm sure it's a 3.0.x

Re: Dynamic threading bug (none / 0)

Huh. Did they implement it earlier in secret?

Since I already zapped my earlier Firefox, could you try the shell at: http://www.squarefree.com/shell/shell.html and see if document.body.children is defined?

Re: Dynamic threading bug (none / 0)

Yup, that is strange. Because that was the code which got flagged by Firefox 3.5. And fixing it seems to have worked for you too. Bizarre!

Re: Dynamic threading bug (none / 0)

Yup. It has some very nice features, including tab complete for implemented properties. Check out https://www.squarefree.com/bookmarklets/webdevel.html
to pick up the shell bookmark. When you invoke it you will get a new window that inherit the javascript environment from the current page. Very, very useful.
