707880 - SVG Wallpaper Maker no longer works in Firefox 9 (フォクすけの壁紙メーカー)

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Websites :: Other, defect)

Description

Attachment: Reduced test case

As of Firefox 9 the SVG Wallpaper maker hosted by Mozilla Japan has stopped working (see URL). The graphic parts (firefox logo, calendar, foxkeh mascot etc.) are all clumped into the top-left corner and are undraggable. A number of errors appear in the JavaScript console about various objects being undefined.

I have produced a reduced test case of what I believe to be the root cause and attached it to this bug.

I've tracked the changed behavior down to a regression range of 2011-08-29 (03:08:11) and 2011-08-30 (03:29:52) on m-c. That corresponds
to changesets ca5a3569462d and e6591ea9b27b making the most likely culprit the Type Inference work (http://hg.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/pushloghtml?startdate=2011-08-28&enddate=2011-08-30
).

Thanks to Brian Hackett's help, it looks like this may be bug 706808.

I'm filing this a separate bug to bug 706808 in case my analysis of the root cause proves incorrect or in case there are further issues involved in getting the wallpaper maker to work in Firefox 9.

I also note that for the attached test case Chrome and Opera match the behaviour of Firefox 8 and not the newer behaviour of Firefox 9.

Confirming that this is fixed by bug 706808. May still need a solution for getting this site to work in Firefox 9 if bug 706808 doesn't get approved for beta.

Bug 706808 has not been approved for Firefox 9 so we need to find a workaround for fixing the SVG wallpaper maker in the meantime.

Nakajima-san has fixed this on the site using the workaround suggested by Brian Hackett in bug 706808 comment 27.
