640440 - Wijmo jquery based scroller not displaying properly in 4.0 beta

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Tech Evangelism Graveyard :: English US, defect)

Description

[Mike DellaVecchia]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 5.1; rv:2.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/4.0
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 5.1; rv:2.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/4.0

The "What's Happening..." scroller near the bottom of this page is not displaying correctly.  I believe it is a JQuery based scroller which displays fine in all Firefox versions other than the new 4.0 beta. 

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. go to this url:  http://www.pressofatlanticcity.com/communities/galloway/
2. scroll 2/4 down the page to the scroller labeled "What's Happening..."
3. View the same page in a previous version of firefox to see the difference in display and functionality.

i actually meant scroll down 3/4 of the page near the bottom to find the scroller labeled "What's Happening..."

Are you the developer? Does fixing those errors resolve the issue?

Right, that would cause the "assignment to undeclared variable wijInputResult" bit.

This wijmo library uses "use strict" all over, but is clearly buggy...

Comment 5

[Boris Zbarsky [:bzbarsky]]

Note also that this is an out-of-date version of wijmo.  Probably worth trying the current version to see whether it fixes the problem...

[Ed Morley [:emorley]]

There is a changelog here:
https://github.com/wijmo/Wijmo-Complete/blob/master/change.log
...which doesn't mention any fixes since the version used in the site reported in comment 0.

However it only details up to 1.1.2; whereas the latest version is 1.1.3 (I suspect they delay updates to un-paid users to encourage use of their premium package).

Either way, I've emailed robo at wijmo explaining the problem and linking back to this bug.

There isn't even a script called wijmo-anything on that page, anymore.
