I have noticed and fixed this same problem a few times now, and I
thought I would put it out there so others don't get bitten by it.
In IE6 (no SP, SP1, and SP2, as far as I can determine) if you do
something like the following within a class (this is not my code,
it's from Glider.js, which is a fine fine thing):
...
click: function(event) {
this.stop();
var element = Event.findElement(event, 'a');
if (this.scrolling) this.scrolling.cancel();
moveTo = this.wrapper.down('#'+element.href.split("#")[1])
this.moveTo(moveTo, this.scroller, { duration:this.options.duration });
Event.stop(event);
},
moveTo: function(element, container, options){
this.current = $(element);
Position.prepare();
var containerOffset = Position.cumulativeOffset(container),
elementOffset = Position.cumulativeOffset($(element));
this.scrolling = new Effect.SmoothScroll(container,
{duration:options.duration,
x:(elementOffset[0]-containerOffset[0]),
y:(elementOffset[1]-containerOffset[1])
});
return false;
},
...
It will work as designed in every browser except the aforementioned
spawn of Bill. If you have a debugger installed, it will complain
about the line that begins 'this.moveTo(moveTo ... about Object does
not support this method.
The solution, which keeps my desk rather dented, is to rename the
item variable to something else.
myTarget = this.wrapper.down('#'+element.href.split("#")[1])
this.moveTo(myTarget, this.scroller,
{ duration:this.options.duration });
Even though one instance of that variable is inside an anonymous
function, and thus should be invisible to the other (and is plainly
different than the other) IE6 can't keep the reference straight.
Hope this helps someone else,
Walter
