Paul Sharples commented on WOOKIE-44:
-------------------------------------
As Scott stated above, IE8 does not support __defineGetter__ and
__defineSetter__ prototypes. Instead it uses the following syntax...
Object.defineProperty(domObjectOnly + propName, {
get: getMethod(){// code here},
set: setMethod(param){ code here}
});
There appears to be no way to define setters/getters on user defined objects in
IE. (only DOM objects). If you try to do it, you get the "unsupported method"
alert. According to Microsoft, they intend to open up the
Object.defineProperty mechanism to include user objects in IE9 (which is not
until next summer unfortunately)
I have checked in a partial fix for this and the error box now does not appear
in IE8. I have used object assignment to get around the problem, so we can read
the initial values into the preferences okay. However any updates to the
preferences in the session are not persisted back to the wookie backend because
the WidgetPreference.setItem() method is not being called and in turn neither
is Widget.setPreferenceForKey(key, value);
