Animation
¥
Enhancements
- Replaced toString overrides with static NAME property.
AutoComplete
¥ Bug Fixes
- Fixed bug where Mac users were not able to input
"&" or "(" characters.
Base
¥
No changes.
Button
¥ Bug Fixes
- Fixed issue where returning false inside
the scope of a listener for attribute "before" events (i.e
"beforeCheckedChange") would not cancel the attribute's default
setter.
Calendar
¥
Enhancements
- Prevent default event
handling in CalendarNavigator enter key listener, to prevent automatic form
submission when using Calendar inside a form.
- Added border, padding and
margin rules to Calendar Sam Skin to protect Sam Skin's look and feel when
Calendar is used with YUI base.css.
¥
Bug Fixes
- Added workaround to DateMath.add and
subtract for Safari 2 (webkit) bug in Date.setDate(n) which doesn't handle
value of n less than -128 or greater than 127 correctly.
See: http://brianary.blogspot.com/2006/03/safari-date-bug.html
Charts
¥
Enhancements
- Added lineSize style to
series styles.
- Added showLabels substyle
to xAxis and yAxis styles.
- Added more descriptive
local content warning for ExternalInterface failure.
- Improved minor unit
calculation.
- Added initialization flag
to ensure DataSource doesn't receive multiple requests during initialization.
¥
Bug Fixes
- Fixed animation and marker positioning bugs
- Fixed bug that caused series definition update to fail
- Fixed bug that caused setting hex color values with # symbol to
fail
Color Picker
¥
No changes.
Connection
¥
Enhancements
- setForm() can now detects
HTTPS in the URI for file upload transactions. The third, boolean argument for HTTPS when using IE is no
longer necessary.
¥
Bug Fixes
- SF1882101. POST transactions without a message
will now have a Content-Length value set to 0 for FF 2.x. This is accomplished by passing a value
of empty string instead of null to XHR's send(). All other A-Grade browsers remain unaffected and perform
correctly.
Container
¥
Enhancements
- Added a "hideaftersubmit"
config property to Dialog, to allow the end user to configure whether or not
the Dialog should be hidden after it has been submitted. By default it is set
to false, to provide backwards compatibility.
- Added contextMouseOverEvent,
contextMouseOutEvent and contextTriggerEvent events to Tooltip, which provide
access to the context element when the user mouses over a context element,
mouses out of a context element, and before a tooltip is about to be triggered
(displayed) for a context element. See the API docs for these events for futher
details.
- Added a "disabled" config
property to Tooltip, to allow the user to dynamically disable a tooltip.
- Optimized constraintoviewport handling
for Overlays which haven't been specifically positioned, so that the constraint
checks aren't made before every show.
¥
Bug Fixes
- We now add the text resize monitor
iframe to the DOM in a timeout, to help alleviate the perpetual loading
indicator seen in Firefox 2.0.0.8 (Gecko 1.8.1.8) and above on Windows.
- Changed the closing script tag string
used in the resize monitor, to allow container-min.js, container_core-min.js
content to be used inline.
- Fixed problem with underlay size being
too short in IE6 when setting up an initially visible Dialog with buttons.
- Removed overflow:auto applied to the
modal mask for all browsers other than gecko/MacOS to help avoid the
"missing text cursor" Gecko bug. Overflow:auto is still applied to
for Gecko/MacOS to help avoid scrollbar bleedthrough, another Gecko bug (discussed
in Container's known issues section).
