Re: [Dynapi-Help] IE5 Mac - DynEvent.getX() reports incorrect position

[Joy R. <joy...@ho...>]

Hello,

Well, we have made some compability modifications in to DynAPI 2.5.7. You
might want to try those. Also we are currently in progress of fixing few Mac
related issues (for example in loadpanel.js) for DynAPI2 (I'm sure that
these fixes will be usefull for DynAPI3 as well). If you are interested, you
might want to try modified version attached in to this email. ... I don't
give any promises though :-) It is basically 2.5.7 with some support for
Opera and some fixes for Machintosh (and others).

This may or may not be related to the DynAPI...

I'm using 2.5.7 and have been tasked with porting some existing code to the
Mac IE5.2 environment.  I've noticed that the getX() method of the DynEvent
returns incorrect values.  The event is occurring in a DynLayer which was
created inline - which may have something to do with the problem...

I've done some debugging (mouse.js ~line 83):

evt.pageX=is.ie?e.x+document.body.scrollLeft:e.pageX;  // e.x = 110,
document.body.scrollLeft = 0
evt.x=is.ie?evt.pageX-evt.src.getPageX():e.layerX // pageX = 110,
src.getPageX = 101

It seems that the initial e.x is being reported incorrectly.  That value
should be closer to 100.  From what I can tell, this is the "unmolested"
browser event's x property.  Is the browser returning an incorrect
coordinate?  Is it buffered with something like document.body.offsetX?  Is
anyone aware of issues involving the event.x property being incorrect for
IE5 on the Mac?

I've read that document.body.scrollLeft is unreliable and should be replaced
with document.documentElement.scrollLeft.  Any truth to that?

Thanks in advance for any advice/discussion.
