404 errors loading *-compat.css files

[bill]

Loading mobileGallery demo (I tried firefox) gives these 404 errors (I'm trying in FF5 if that makes a difference):

kernel.js (line 457)
"NetworkError: 404 Not Found - http://localhost/clean/demos/mobileGallery/demo-compat.css"
demo-compat.css
"NetworkError: 404 Not Found - http://localhost/clean/demos/mobileGallery/css/themes/iphone/gallery-compat.css"
galler...pat.css
"NetworkError: 404 Not Found - http://localhost/clean/demos/mobileGallery/images/MobileShow_App_57-compat.css"
Mobile...pat.css
"NetworkError: 404 Not Found - http://localhost/clean/demos/mobileGallery/images/MobileShow_App_114-compat.css"
Mobile...pat.css
"NetworkError: 404 Not Found - http://localhost/clean/demos/mobileGallery/images/MobileShow_Fav_16-compat.css"

Happens on source or on build. Not sure who is requesting those non-existant files.

dojox.mobile's compatibility module (dojox.mobile._compat) automatically loads *-compat.css for each loaded css file. This never happens on mobile. Please just ignore this. It is working as designed.

This never happens on mobile.

More precisely, this never happens on webkit-based browsers, which do not need compat.

Oh OK. But do you think it would make sense to limit (trying to) load the *-compat.css modules to dojo.isIE < 10? I doubt they are needed for the new firefox 5, although I haven't checked.

It's just that we got many many bug reports from the 404 errors in the working-as-designed NLS code (trying to load en-us and en files that didn't exist).

Anyway, feel free to close this ticket as invalid.

I was wrong. It was not an expected behavior. By default, request should be made only for *-compat.css files that correspond to mobile/themes/...*.css. There was a bug in loadCompatCssFiles() in _compat.js.

(In [25643]) Fixes #13315 !strict Fixed the condition that checks location.href in loadCompatCssFiles().
