Correcting Style in IE 6 & 7 Without CSS Expressions

[Jesdisciple]

In addition to the original goal of this project, I've found a side-
effect:  Behaviour offers similar functionality as IE-only CSS
expressions.  (CSS expressions are to be avoided because they slow the
page's operation in IE.)  But I'm having trouble applying the library
to this task; nothing is being corrected.  See
http://forums.mozillazine.org/viewtopic.php?p=3204629#3204629 for the
full source.

Thanks!

Chris,

The error of your ways is that you are calling Behaviour.register from
a function, that has been called onload. Since Behaviour.register does
nothing but set up an onload action, that won't work (since onload has
already fired).

The correct way to accomplish your goal is either:

1) to run correctStyle before onload happens, if possible (could be in
a script block immediately before the end-body tag), or

2) to call Behaviour.applySheet (from my updated version of Behaviour)
from correctStyle, instead of Behaviour.register.

By 1 you will register the onload handler before onload fires. By 2
you will apply the sheets without using the onload handler from
Behaviour (so using just your own onload handler). The effects will be
similar.

Regards,
Jakob

Sorry I took so long to reply...  I have the page hosted at
http://www.auto-chat.net/ccarter/expression-replacement/index.html and
the second change you prescribed hasn't had any effect.  (I chose #2
because I need 'document' ready before 'correctStyle' is run.)

Chris,

The paths you specify to ie7-hacks.css, Protootype.js and Behaviour.js
are invalid, so these aren't loaded at all.

Jakob

Oops!  I always forget to correct my links when I upload files built
on my computer.

Now I get this from Firebug:

missing } after function body
http://www.auto-chat.net/ccarter/expression-replacement/Prototype.js
Line 2003

And it shows "retur" (no 'n') as the faulty code.  Do I need to ask
prototypejs.org about this?

More relevantly, IE7 gives [Expected ';'] for Line 3141, Char 8 - in
Prototype.js, I assume, because it's the only one with that many
lines.  That line is:

    byClassName: function(nodes, root, className) {
      if (!nodes) nodes = Selector.handlers.descendant([root]);
      var needle = ' ' + className + ' ';
      for (var i = 0, results = [], node, nodeClassName; node =
nodes[i]; i++) {
        nodeClassName = node.className;//
<<<--------------------------------- RIGHT HERE --------<<<
        if (nodeClassName.length == 0) continue;
        if (nodeClassName == className || (' ' + nodeClassName + '
').include(needle))
          results.push(node);
      }
      return results;
    },

I can guarantee that Prototype.js does not give load errors in IE7.
Your problem must be something else. The only error I get when I load
your site in Firefox is a complaint about .currentStyle (which is an
IE-only thing) not being defined.

I always recommend getting everything to work in Firefox first,
because debugging there is easier. And I use Prototype and Behaviour
in many places, in both Firefox and IE6 and IE7, so the problem
probably lies somewhere in your code.

Regards,
Jakob
