RSH 0.4 does not support IE7, Safari/Mac, Safari/PC, or Opera

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?

1. Evaluate other libraries' approaches to these browsers
2. Evaluate patches suggested by existing RSH users
3. Test, test, test.

When can we expect support for ie7 to be implemented?

I'm currently working toward a 0.5 release whose sole purpose will be to 
resolve this
ticket. ETA for this to be released as beta for comments from existing users is
mid-October.

Hey, I'm waiting in exitment for the new realease:)
I've noticed Opera has fixed the timer bug in 9.5 Alpha, so RSH works as in 
Firefox
from this version. The market share for Opera is about 2-3% and I belive most of
these will change to 9.5 when it arrives. The timer is really the only way I can
think of to notice History change, hope there are other ways. I had a really 
crappy
way to deal with it, when i first started making something similar to RSH 
myself. I
had a mouseonmove trigger the start of the timer again, if it was not started 
from
before. Maybe there is a nother event that continuously happens that can 
trigger it
again instead. I have tried having the timer in a separate Iframe, I didn't get 
it to
work in Opera 9.23, maybe it's an option in other browsers ??
Hope this can help and that it's not just old news. Good luck with the coding...

Hi,
I am currently developing a quite consequent application, using rsh as the 
"history
manager". I really hope you will be able to release the 0.5 release in a near
future... If you need beta tester for this release in order to get returns on 
it, you
can count on me, and given the importance of my development for our product, be 
sure
that it will be tested heavily !! ;)
Thanks, Olivier

Hi,

Is there a url detailing how i can patch .4 to work with ie7.  I've already 
implemented this on a site and IE7 is need for launch. If .5 is in the works 
and is 
going to beta released soon, i would holding out for that IF it is going to be 
released soon.

Any sort of headsup or more info would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!,
David

A beta of version 0.5 is almost ready and should be up on this site sometime 
tomorrow
for download and evaluation. The plan is to put this out there as a beta, see 
what
types of issues people have with the revisions, work out the kinks, and get 0.5 
out
as an official release late next week. Check back in 24 hours for the beta. 
Thanks!

Is there any developer mailing list we can use to talk about the project? I 
could not
find any thing on the wiki pages.

I'd like to talk about the problems I am encountering with the 0.6 beta release 
and
the solutions I came up with (those issues are not part of the known issues).

Some of the problems have to do with json.js... 
1. it conflicts with the API we are using (prototype.js)... It is probably 
because
prototype.js does not properly use for..in loops, but I am pretty sure it can be
fixed in json.js, while you will never be able to change all bad API available 
on the
net....
2. it uses Object.prototype which I have seen not being recommended (because it
breaks for in loop...) probably roughly the same issue as the previous one...

I am not a javascript guru, so I may be completely out, but I have attached to 
this
comment an attempt to fix the problem #1. (I have not run it through jslint, 
nor made
complete test... it is just to show you what I have tried).

Forget the attached file of my previous comment, it does not fix anything. I am
trying to build a test page so you can reproduce the problem. But I am fighting 
in
finding the exact way to reproduce it... 

I'll keep you in touch, but if there's a mailing list or a google group for
developpers/users of RSH, it would probably be nice... I don't want to bother 
all
other people who commented in this issue and who probably don't give a damn 
about all
problems one can encounter :)

That was boneheaded of me to use a for/in. That's what I get for rewriting 
methods
three hours before posting the code. Luckily, that's easily fixed as it's in one
place, fireDebugMode().

As far as the JSON parser itself, that's the latest open-source version. It does
directly modify object prototypes, though the methods are expected to become a
standard part of the language at some point. I don't call any of the JSON 
methods
directly, so you should be able to override my bridge methods with methods that 
call
Prototype's built-in JSON methods instead. My punch list of enhancements 
includes the
creation of an options bundle for setting debug mode and overriding methods at 
object
creation.

Re: mailing list, let's use the issue tracker to report new issues or suggest
patches. IF that proves too unwieldy I'll look into setting up a mailing list.
