Oh, another question: How far away is LK from being able to run well
on Firefox and IE? If I wanted to help make that happen, what could I do? Adam |

We are working to make LK able to run in IE using the Examotion SVG plugin. It would be great if you wanted to play around a bit with this. We have it already putting bits on the screen. I hereby introduce you to Krzysztof (whom you probably remember), and who has inherited some changes that Tommi Mikkonen made to get things this far (Tommi's on vacation for a month). Krzysztof, perhaps you could eyeball Tommi's changes, and either forward them to Adam with a bit of explanation, or put them out to this list, in case others might want to join in the fun. Or put them in the new repository, hehe, and tell everyone about that. - Dan |

Unfortunately, LK only half runs in FF 3.0. And, I mean that quite
literally. Only the top half of the screen gets drawn. Everything appears to be working correctly, I can see the top of the piston moving up and down, but nothing beyond about 150 px below that. I am running on OSX 10.5.3. Cheers AB On Sat, Jun 28, 2008@3:23 PM, Dan Ingalls <[hidden email]> wrote: > >Oh, another question: How far away is LK from being able to run well > >on Firefox and IE?

Hi,
We've seen this problem in Opera but not in Firefox so far. I believe this might be a timing issue, we may be asking for the size of the screen available to LK before the browser has fully computed it. This would explain why the same Firefox behaves differently on different machines. If you look in index.xhtml, the top level SVG element declared in it has the attribute height="%100". If you hardcode a concrete value of height, say, 800pt, it'll likely work as expected. We have some workaround code in main() that tries to detect when height is less than 100, but apparently fails in your case (perhaps because somehow FF decided that 100% height means 150pt, which happens to be less than 100). Frankly I don't know if this is the problem with SVG implementation in Firefox or my lack of understanding of timing aspects of the spec, so I'm not sure what the right solution would be. I could try to change the threshold value in main() from 100 to 200, although I can't reproduce the problem so I wouldn't know if the fix works. It won't be any uglier than the workaround we already have in place :) Krzysztof Palacz On Jun 28, 2008,@1:21 PM, Andy Burnett wrote: > Unfortunately, LK only half runs in FF 3.0.
