[Dynapi-Help] IE 6 vs Firefox difference

[Robin B. <ro...@re...>]

I notice that as soon as I use an IOElement to obtain dynamic data I get
an extra level of history in Firefox, but not in IE 6. Is this related
to not using location.replace()?

As an example open a new tab or browser and go straight to

file:///c:/temp/dynapi3x/examples/dynapi.util.datasource.html

or wherever you have the examples. In IE my about:blank start page is
replaced and there's no back button, but in Firefox I can return to an
earlier instance of the page.

Ok, stupid question, but is FireFox?

I use the IOElement with IE6 and Mozilla (1.3 to 1.6) and I don't think
I've ever seen an extra history entry.

Heh, I asked the same question on a forum, and found the answer myself when
I went to upgrade Mozilla Firebird a few days later.  They changed the name
again.  Mozilla Phoenity / Firebird / Firefox, what will it be next, and how
many revisions will they keep it?  Wish they'd just pick a single name and
icon and use it already instead of changing it every 6 months.

By the way, it does leave a history in Mozilla (1.6a, 1.7a / Win32).

Not sure why it does this, I'd have to look at the source and see what it's
doing.  Have you tried that yet?

I've tried, but my DOM/Javascript isn't actually good enough. I think
that the IFrame is hung off of the main window and it seems that an
event is percolating up the tree somehow. Certainly in my JS book it
claims that using location.replace(newurl) should not alter the history
and I tried doing the appropriate changes in the 3 beta, but that didn't
seem to help.

I tried a bit harder & at least for win32 it seems that I can get the
correct behaviour for GET requests using the IFRAME's
contentWindow.location.replace() method. Seems to work for IE 6, Mozilla
1.6 & Firefox.
