Since it's regular that MS-products contains weirdness in their software
(bugs ;-)),  i was wondering if we "suppport" these bugs by implementing
"workarouds" for these bugs in MMBase. Yesterday, I committed a bug in
the bugtracker (#5982) , which in fact isn't an editwizard-bug, but a
faulty JavaScript implementation in Internet Explorer on the mac.

The problems with IE 5/Mac JavaScript time issues are long-standing and
well documented, and have nothing to do with either 5.22 or OS X.
They've been around since IE 5.0 was released in 2000. There are two
basic problems: 

1) During daylight savings time, the time is reported incorrectly (one
hour off). 
2) When a machine is put to sleep, IE  loses track of the time. After
the Mac wakes up, IE may or may not report the correct time. In this
case, quitting and relaunching IE will solve the problem.

For the first prob, I have a workaround available for the validator.js
and editwizard.js in the editwizard, which decreases and increases the
manipulated time by one hour, if the time that's manipulated lies within
daylight saving time (summertime) and if the clientnavigator is IE/Mac.

Propbably more MMBaseusers are suffering this problem by now ... So I 
was wondering ... is this something that i may commit as "bugfix" into
MMBase CVS?

Regards,

Mark
