[Laszlo-dev] [BULK] Re: Blank.gif MIA

[Stuart]

Hi Mamye

Not sure I can add much more. Using the example code as in Documentation link 
in original message (the 'Accordian' with goldstyle and checkboxes and the 
radio buttons in the 3rd pane). Creating a lzx from it; compile it using OL 
4.0.12 and I have also tried it using the netbeans plugin with same result; 
when the accordian is displayed I click the DHTML radio button and Compile 
(took a while to figure that bit out); then click SOLO and follow the 
instructions; save the resulting zip; unzip zip into my web page and add the 
appropriate link to the *.lzx.html. The accordian works fine in FF and Safari 
but shows the dead image icon in IE7. 

Here is my web page. www.parthiansystems.co.uk
Click the Open Laslo Test link in the header. I've simply renamed my dummy 
lps\resources\lps\includes folder to hide my work around so you should see the 
problem in IE.

I'm unclear if you are saying that blank.gif should be in lps/includes or if 
you can't figure out how it (or rather the entire folder perhaps) got into the 
wrong place. I suspect the includes folder is in the correct place as it 
includes other important files e.h. the lfc stuff. Yes - just confirmed that by 
removing lps\includes everything breaks. 

The only thing that I'm confused about is whether I should have proxied=false 
in the <canvas> tag on account of this being a SOLO application. Would seem odd 
to have to change the code. 

I can't figure out how to view the lzx source code (can only see the HTML 
calling the lzx).  

In summary, why does IE look for blank.gif in the wrong place?

Hope that is enough for you.

Cheers

Stuart

  Stuart,

  I have confirmed that blank.gif is in the lps/includes folder in the 
installer version also. Can you provide the steps to reproduce the problem your 
seeing? We have a bug filed for the problem with tinting in dhtml (LPP-2544 
Implement color tinting in dhtml ).

    Hello.

    New to OL. 

    I'm testing one of the Documentation examples 
http://labs.openlaszlo.org/trunk-nightly/docs/developers/comp-overview.html 1.1 
Using the <style> tag.  In IE7 (SOLO/DHTML) the radio buttons and banner text 
are corrupted (little red X as per missing image). I used Fiddler and 
discovered that blank.gif is expected to be in the folder 
lps/resources/lps/includes but is in fact stored in lps/includes folder. 
Fiddler also suggests that excanvas.js is missing. No problems with Flash 
versions or in FF (so either FF finds the file or doesn't care about it being 
missing).


    I ftp'd these files into my web page manually and the problem goes away. A 
quick search of the Bug List suggests that problems with blank.gif are known 
about but nothing seems to fit the problem I have. exacanvas.js doesn't appear 
to be a factor. Also, this only occurs when I upload the SOLO app. fine during 
development. Suggests SOLO output puts the includes folder into the wrong place 
- should it be at the same level as the components folder? Looks like a bug but 
surely someone else would have spotted it.



    OL 4.0.12. WinXP.



    Also, the Styles do not appear to work with DHTML (Flash fine) e.g. 
goldstyle, greenstyle both appear the same (whitish). This occurs within the 
Development Environment and when uploaded. Same for IE and FF.  





    Tried to post this to the forum but it appears OL requires a moderator to 
approve me... been waiting all afternoon/evening. Perhaps mailing list is best 
place anyway.





    Cheers.
