Problems with Firefox (and others)

Hello,

We recently started deploying Orbeon Forms in some applications and plan to include
some Orbeon Forms based applications in a few spanish governmental official sites.
One of the main goals of these sites consists in promoting interoperability and open standars.

I tested Orbeon Forms with Opera (Opera 10.00 Internal. Build 4402 for Linux. Qt library 4.5.1)
in the client side, and a fresh installation of apache-tomcat-5.5.27 with both the Nightly Build
orbeon.war file (from July 17th) and the Developer Release's orbeon.war file.

The problem is that firefox (Mozilla Iceweasel 3.0.9 -- debian lenny's firefox version) fails to
show correctly even the built-in examples from the Orbeon XForms application's tutorial. Later, I
could check that konqueror is not showing correctly these examples too.

In the case of the "XForms Hello" application, both Konqueror and Firefox browsers show the
input element, but lacking any functionality.

After putting a xforms-instance-inspector widget within the code of the "XForms Hello" application,
it shows:

        <first-name xmlns:xforms="http://www.w3.org/2002/xforms"/>

When typing into the input element field, the instance content doesn't change at all.

It's not the case of Firefox version 3.5.1 and the above mentioned Opera version 10.00. On these
browsers, all the Orbeon XForms applications seem to work perfectly.

Is this a known problem that I overlooked?

Indeed it is.

The report was done by Erik Bruchez almost a year ago.

It is issue #310921.

Erik suggests using YAHOO.env.ua, which uses floats for identifying client browsers. Anyway, until
this is done, I've patched xforms.js to make it recognise Iceweasel as if it was Firefox.

It seems to be ok this way, though there could be some differences that I still didn't detect.


Attached is patch for xforms.js
