The new dhtml.js revision 174 has dom.addClassName() return `true' on success which is essential for the callback unhiding the button to be called in the Matrix's table.js.) >> And if I try making that call from IE8's console it returns true, but >> also reports some error and does not change the scroll behavior. > > No error message in Wine IE 6.

Oh, I am 100% certain that the markup does need significant change. But perhaps not to solve this issue! :-) >>>> and double-checking the ones that Sean and Richard suggested.

It's simply that if I try to give this main table a percentage height and combine it with the fixed height header, I would run into issues. Perhaps putting a negative margin on the header offsetting some fixed padding of a container holding it and the table, and making them equal to the size of... wait a second, I'm back off cljs again. Maybe I'll go check out ciwa.stylesheets or CSS Discuss. Again, thanks for the help, -- Scott

When I load up IE8's Developer Tools, and enter "scroller.toggleScroll(true);" in the console, it returns true, and then shows an error icon with the text "Invalid argument". The pointer is to "compressed_rpc.js, line 1 character 45742". I get the same behavior if I supply "false" or supply no parameter at all. IE 8.0.6001.18702 on Windows XP SP2. -- Scott |
