two "issues"

[Paul Stead]

Hi folks!

Hey, I have a couple of issues for you.

The first is regarding the website.  You have a "discussion forum", but
there doesn't appear to be a way for common folk like me to add to the
forum.  I do login to java.net, but there is no option for me to add to
the discussion.  If there was, I would have posted my second issue there
instead of bugging you with an email.

The second issue is regarding the table component (the first one since
table2 still doesn't seem to be available, at least as of NetBeans 6.1).
  *Very* often, I run into situations where the table is rendered
"empty" at first.  In fact, it seems to affect the rendering of several
of the components on the page!  Then, when I "refresh" the page, it
renders properly.  I've attached two screenshots, one showing the empty
version, and then the correct one after a refresh.  I noticed that
somebody posted a very similar problem in the forum, but there was no
answer.  Is there some trick to get this to render properly always?

thanks much,

I don't have enough information, so I cannot say what might be wrong. It
would be interesting to know which version of Woodstock and Firefox are
in use? In the mean time, you can try setting the head tag's parseOnLoad
attribute to false, providing you're using Woodstock 4.2 or later.

Are you using any additional javascript on that page? I used to have this problem, and it took me forever to figure it out. It was caused by some javascript that I had added that used window.init. This caused the woodstock components to randomly fail to render, or only render partially. Once I corrected it to not use window.init and instead run after the woodstock components have been rendered, I never saw the problem again.

Sorry, I meant window.onload.
