Hi Max,

Perhaps you know the answer to this. It's possible to set a numeric property to a string. For example,
        v.setAttribute("width", "100");
sets the width of view v to a string "100". I found at least one side effect of this in animators. See LPP-6732 (the app from the jira report is below). This isn't a recent problem because it is present in 4.0.5.

Shouldn't the setters coerce the value to be numeric?

Thanks!

Phil
