Re the latter, yeah, I need to get that preventDefault back in there in re the shortcut. Anyway, I am making headway on the jsMath and can confirm the "mssing keys" phenomenon. My test of "without installed TeX fonts" was flawed, but that is sorted out now. I am actually developing now without TeX fonts installed. Next release later today will work /unless/ TeX fonts are installed (but I think I can make it work both ways with a quick hack, deeper fix in a day or seven). kt -- http://www.stuckonalgebra.com "The best Algebra tutorial program I have seen... in a class by itself."

How do you quantify what you "support" with a browser sniffing framework like qooxdoo? Do you just take their word for it? And I believe Nisse is using the latest Opera. > > > > > When I type "g=mc2==" on the [unbookmarkable tab], > > Yeah, I hate that.

You are on a treadmill, Kenny. You really should learn HTML, CSS and JS before trying to write a Web application. Basically, you are trying to do algebra before you've learned basic arithmetic. ;)

Let's see what the browser/engine is first. Team qooxdoo seems to have run up the white flag on Opera key events. My investors (me) are prepared to lose that market. Of course if Mr. Mark can provide a /universal/ HTML API for key events I'll just load his code and embed my client code that uses it in a qx.ui.embed.Html widget and be singing his praises too. kt I waded thru more than a little qooxdoo code to determine they had left the model property off the RadioGroupBox widget. Doing so was not the end of the world. Sorry. k -- http://www.stuckonalgebra.com "The best Algebra tutorial program I have seen... in a class by itself." Macworld |
