[Dynapi-Dev] Works For Me

[Eytan H. <ey...@tr...>]

I don't believe this. You can't close bugs on a works for me clause. When
creating an API it has to be stable on all systems. Not only on Robert
Rainwater system. Specially as a developer. When I client will come and
complain that your site tends to crash certain machines what are you going
to do? Tell him "Works For Me"

In most development situations there is a "Work for Me" category for closing
a bug.  This does not delete the bug but leaves it open to someone to
challenge the finding with more information.  In my department we use this
cagegory rarely but it does come up from time to time.

[Dynapi-Dev] Weirdness: More setHTML and NS nested layers

[Jeff <je...@we...>]

Ok, here's some weirdness for you:

Earlier, I posted a way to get the setHTML to work when writing inline styles
into nested layers in Netscape by removing the layer from the parent, writing
the style into it, then adding the layer back to the parent. Everything worked
fine.

It just so happens that I had been passing values to a function that wrote the
style into the layer, something like:

(pseudo-code)

function writeIt(text,fontSize, fontFamily,color) {

eval(layeName+".setHTML='<SPAN STYLE=\"font-size: " + fontSize + "px;
fontFamily: " + fontFamily + "; color:" + color +";\">" + text + "</span>");

}

Don't ask me why, I just happened to be doing it that way for the test. So, as I
said it worked fine. Then I decide to just pass the function a string
representing the entire style to be applied, something like this:

writeIt("text goes here","font-size: 13px;fontFamily: courier;color: white;");

function writeIt(text,style) {

eval(layeName+".setHTML='<SPAN STYLE=\" ' + style + ' \">" + text + "</span>");

}

Now, here's the weird part:

This second version works fine too... except for one thing: the font-size
doesn't get applied in Netscape (4.7 and 4.76 under Win98). The color and the
fontFamily do get applied however....  and the whole thing works in IE 5.0 and
5.5 (Win98). But that's just too strange... it can't be a CSS syntax thing,
since the cobbled together style string in the first example works fine. So
what's the deal?
