Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Skywriter Graveyard :: General, defect)

Description

[Andrew Petersen]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9.2.3) Gecko/20100401 Firefox/3.6.3
Build Identifier: 0.8.0 Drop-In 

Having a link tag of <link id="bespin_base" href="./bespin-0.8.0">, is required. My directory structure is as follows (test being a folder being served by apache somewhere, not the web root):

test/bespin.0.8.0/
test/testpage.html

If I view testpage.html in a browser, served by local xampp (url
something like: http://localhost/dev/other/folders/here/test/testpage.html),
and do not specify that link tag, nothing happens, no errors, and
bespin does not load. The window.onBespinLoad callback never fires
either.

bespin_base also isn't mentioned anywhere in the docs.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Remove or put the wrong path to bespin as the value of the href attribute of a link tag with an id of bespin_base
2. Notice that bespin does not load, and no errors appear in console.
Actual Results:  
Notice that bespin does not load, and no errors appear in console.

Expected Results:  
Bespin loads, and fires the onBespinLoad callback.

The URL of this bug is pointing to a zip file containing two html files that reproduce this issue. One file works, the other is broken.
