Newer Browser Compatibility Hack?

2 September, 2008 - 21:39 — Adam - CollegeNET

Since Backbase decided to stop supporting or updating version 3, it is woefully unable to distinguish more recent browsers.

Firefox 3 it recognizes, but does not distinguish from Firefox 2 (and there *are* some differences in the way code is rendered between the two browsers).

Google today released Chrome, which at first blush seems to be the fastest browser around, but Backbase *completely* chokes on this and will not load at all. THIS IS VERY BAD!!

Backbase as standalone file

13 August, 2008 - 13:14 — kati

Hi,

it's possible to load backbase as a standalone file? Normally, the page loads boot.js as external script file and than other files are loaded dynamically via Ajax depending on the backbase configuration. I need a single file in order to make it possible to load Backbase from outside (without Ajax).

Input elements within a contextmenu

25 July, 2008 - 14:19 — kati

Hi !

I created a contextMenu with menuPopUp and menuPopUpItem children nodes. Within a menuPopUpItem is a form (div element) with input elements (xhtml input fields) and a backbase button (b:button). The button is clickable, but the input fields aren't focusable through the mouse click (Firefox, Safari). They can be reached by the TAB key only.

There is an incompatibility: in IE7 the input fields are focusable.

I already tried to change the z-index property of btl-menuPopUp (original value is z-index: 999;) but it didn't help.

Any idea how to make them focusable ?

thx

Backbase 3.3.1

2 July, 2008 - 06:59 — bluenike

Does anyone know any where we can download the old Backbase 3.3.1?

I would be willing to pay a small amount if you made it available for download.

Thanks,
Eric

Dropdown list and Firefox 3.0

20 June, 2008 - 17:24 — terning1

Using Firefox 3, when I attempt to click the scrollbar on a dropdown list (b:select), the list disappears. I'm unable to scroll using the scroll bar. Is there a workaround? Thanks.

Compatibility with Firefox 3

16 June, 2008 - 09:06 — meesmany

Hallo Everybody,
It seems the latest release of Firefox does not recognise the b:xhtml fragement in the Backbase code.

Exemple:

Input in a b:xhtml Fragement

<b:bxml>

input   type="text" name="titre" id="contact_input_titre"/>

</b:bxml>

Then:

<s:task b:action="set" b:target="id('contact_input_titre')/@value" b:value="Mr"/>

Work with Firefox 2 but not with Firefox 3.

Thanks for any help.

Critical error in travel toolkit

12 June, 2008 - 06:10 — slava

Hello everyone,
I have nasty problem that I can't solve myself.
While developing an application base on travel kit, I bumped into the issue that during 20-40% of the times, when I load my application, I am getting this error message. I don't understand why does it happen.
It sure related to the filter at travel kit and it doesn't work when this error pops up.
It is not a single erro but more like 100 error messages.

CRITICAL: Javascript error: 'ReferenceError, Flights is not defined'.

Image parsing error

7 June, 2008 - 05:38 — slava

Hi,
When I am trying to parse the image from XML file I am getting an error:

        
1. [17:51:06.569] CRITICAL: Error parsing:

XML Parsing Error: not well-formed

Location: <a href="http://localhost/ff/starterkits/travel/filter_test.php

Line" title="http://localhost/ff/starterkits/travel/filter_test.php

Line">http://localhost/ff/starterkits/travel/filter_test.php

Line</a> Number 47, Column 91:

Text:

            <div class="grid_title"><img src="http://image.shopzilla.com/resize?sq=100&uid=626957925" />

And it is pointing out to 626957925. It expects it to be .gif, .jpg etc. When I parse it I just have straight URL and it is no way for me to add anything in image URL.
