Open Laszlo Legals

[arajs]

Hello,

I downloaded the openlaszlo legals pr2 snapshot from www.openlaszlo.org. I wrote a small application and tried to compile in DHTML. But blank screen dislays on my browser. The same application works for swf7 and swf8.
Is there anything i should do to complile my application in DHTML runtime.
Please help

Thanks

The legals code is still in a pretty raw state, it is really only for system developers to start looking at. The Beta release will be the first release that users can reasonably expect their apps to run.

In the PR2 release there are a number of references to undefined properties that are unchecked and will cause the browser javascript interpreter to stop execution of the code in DHTML. Whereas in Flash's interpreter, the errors are silently ignored and thus execution proceeds. If you run Firebug in Firefox it will show these errors as they occur, however fixes to the runtime LFC library are needed to work around them. We are fixing these right now.

I tried to run some examples in DHTML environment on the recent open Laszlo Legals pr4 snapshot. But many of the functions did not work....like tabslider for example.
I hope we can run fully fledged laszlo application with the Beta release of legals in DHTMl and when can we expect it be released.

Thanks

Are you using Internet Explorer or Firefox?
There are a number of bugs particularly with mouse clickability when using Internet Explorer, we're working on at the moment, so DHTML app development should be done in Firefox for now,

Can you try a nightly build?

This example works fine for me in the TOT development branch

http://localhost:8080/legals/examples/components/tabslider_example.lzx?lzr=dhtml&debug=true

Note that there is a bug in the nightly builds with the compiler at the moment which requires you to use debug=true for DHTML.

If you find bugs with this, please report them.

oh! why did not i do this before?!

I tried running my application in firefox and it worked fine.

I also tried the below example for both nightly build and pr4. The example is working fine with Firefox.The example also worked with debug=false

http://localhost:8080/legals/exampl...html&debug=true

Thanks for your information.

We're right in the middle of both fixing the IE6 bugs and also fixing component bugs. In the meantime, if you find bugs you should send a note to openlaszlo development mailing list, that's a good place to check first, and then you can either get a workaround/fix or file a bug with a test case so we can get to it.

We're working on the beta release now, expect some time in November hopefully. The bugs in the database have been prioritized for this, so you can see what is supposed to be fixed by then.

The nightly builds have not been updated for a few days, but hopefully they will be spinning again soon.
