[opencms-dev] JavaScript problem solved

[Joachim Arrasz]

Hi Olli, Hi Bryan,


> I believe that my problem was browser version related.

that is the hardest mistake in design of Opencms actually! Nearly all
functions of workplace use JS for logic. So the DOM Model of the broswer
is sure a big trap.

i think he means the different JS version from Mozilla vs. IE for example.
Mozilla is original JS and IE is the M$ JScript and they are different.

actually we have most clients on IE 6 on W2K so its a JScript machine i
think.

this would be a very nice thing. More of the code in interaction with
Tomcat and nt with JScript or JavaScript! And the Backoffice programming
will become a lot easier.
So let us hope .. :-)

Bye Achim
