Browser specific bugs?

[fernandomm]

Hello,

I have a dynamic form that works perfectly on Firefox but have some bugs on IE8 and Safari.

Example: at IE8, checkboxes items only show up when mouse is over it, otherwise they doesn't show up. The same happens with a button.

Another example: Safari and IE8 doesn't seem to run a RpcRequest callback. Code:

isc.RPCManager.sendRequest({ params: postData,
showPrompt: true,
prompt: 'Buscando...',
actionURL: 'scGrid.php',
callback: function (rpcResponse, data, rpcRequest) {
		search_layout.show();
		
		search_view.setContents( rpcResponse.data );
	}});

The request is sent, but callback isn't executed.


Is it normal to happen? Any ideas of what could be causing this kind of problems?

Also, what do you use to debug SmartClient under IE?

These can result from usage errors. Try posting standalone test cases.

Hi,

Thank you for your reply.


It is a really long form. But here it is:

isc.DynamicForm.create(

  "position" : "relative",
  "saveOnEnter" : true,
  "top" : 20
});

As you might see, the form actually calls for doSearch() function, which is the RPC Request that i am having problems:

function doSearch()
{
	postData = search_form.getValues();
	
	// Send request to server
	isc.RPCManager.sendRequest({ params: postData, showPrompt: true, prompt: 'Buscando...', actionURL: 'scGrid.php', callback: function (rpcResponse, data, rpcRequest) {
		search_layout.show();
		
		search_view.setContents( rpcResponse.data );
	}});
}

For future reference, this is not a standalone test case, nor is it minimal. However your problem is that formItem names must be valid JavaScript identifiers.

[fernandomm]

Could you please explain what is the correct way of sending multiple checkboxes as an array?

Based on your reply, the "[" and "]" and the number at the begging are the problems.

[fernandomm]

Just for the record. I have fixed the issue with the checkboxes that doens't show up on IE by using the theme SmartClient ( i was previously using the Enterprise one ).

I am pretty sure that there is a bug at the Enterprise theme.

[Isomorphic]

No, you can see checkboxes working fine in the Showcase with IE8. There is a problem with how you've set up your deployment, and you should probably figure it out or it could come up again later.
