Opera Support

Hi there,

I'd just like to know if Opera is fully supported as brwoser by Orbeon
Forms. Because I got a small XForms application which also runs in the
XForms Sandbox using Opera as browser.

Now when I take the XForms components and integrated them into an existing
JSP application, those XForms controls do not work any longer using Opera,
whereas it still works fine using Firefox or IE.

It looks like as if the event stuff does not work with Opera. Selections are
not being update in the data instance, submissions aren't being done, etc.

Is there maybe anything I have to take care about to keep the XForms working
in Opera? Or is there maybe a way to find out why it does not work with
Opera?

Things should just work out of the box in Opera. There are some
restrictions, like the HTML area
(xforms:textarea[@mediatype="text/html"]), and xforms:range. The rest
should work.

What version of Opera are you using? Do the Orbeon Forms examples work
with it?

I'm using Opera 9.21 and the Orbeon Forms example work, too. Even my purist
XForms app worked within a minimal JSP page. After moving the that minimal
XForms to a larger JSP page it does no longer work within Opera, but still
works with Firefox and IE. :(

Unfortunately the Opera error/javascript console doesn't open when I click
it in the menu. So I can't check for any JavaScript errors.

Finally managed to open Opera's error console. Thus, what I get when I
select an item of a <xforms:select1> control is:

JavaScript - http://localhost:9090/my-webapp/pages/xforms/quiz/quiz-tryout.faces;jsessionid=416C90B23CC741CC8893D83C4DC37BFE
Timeout thread: delay 10 ms

    ORBEON.xforms.Server.executeNextRequest(true);

For convenience reasons I've attached the JavaScript which Opera complains
about.

These JavaScript errors do not appear when my XForms stuff is within the
minimal JSP page.

Can you guys from Orboen help me with this?

Sorry, forgot to attach the mentioned JavaScript...

Unfortunately I can't get that big JSP page to run in the XForms Sandbox. :(
It got a lot "includes" and custom tags.

What I just noticed is, that with Opera no "Loading" message appears when an
item  is  selected  from a select1 control, like it does with Firefox or IE.
Maybe this information helps?!

But the resulting XHTML+XForms could run in the sandbox, no?

That probably indicates that the JavaScript broke somewhere, not much
more :-(

I see the line in the JavaScript code, but it is not obvious why this
would fail in Opera. We would really need to have a test case we can
run in the sandbox to be able to work on this.
