dojox.fx.sizeTo Behavioral Defect?

[ole.ersoy@…]

This is not necessarily a bug. I'll just describe the setup and end result, and let you be the judge.

I changed the duration on the sizeTo animations in the sizeTo test to 550. Now if I move the mouse over the "Hover/exit" animation, such that it is only over the node for an instant, the animation that collapse the node gets stuck. It appears that the second animation in the chain that collapses the node back down does not execute.

Here are the parts that I changed (Only the duration):

        var test1 = function(e){
                // this is our click test,
                dojox.fx.sizeTo({
                        node: e.target,
                        width: 120,
                        height:120,
                        duration:550                        
                }).play(5);
        };
        
        var testundo = function(e){
                dojox.fx.sizeTo({
                        node: e.target,
                        width:50,
                        height:50,
                        duration:550                        
                }).play(5);
                
                
        };
        
        var test2 = function(e){
                dojox.fx.sizeTo({
                      node: e.target,
                      width: 120,
                      height:120,
                      duration:550,
                      method:"combine"
                }).play(5);
        };

SO if you make similar changes and try it, you should see the same effect. I ran the test in firefox 2.0.

If the testundo method is set to "combine", then the node collapse no regardless of the time interval that the mouse hovers for.

var testundo = function(e){

dojox.fx.sizeTo({

node: e.target, width:50, height:50, duration:550, method:"combine"

}).play(5);

This is OT. I just noticed that the testundo connects to "onmouseenter", which according to this is microsft only.

I'm assuming it's better for future testers, if "onmouseover" is used instead.

Not sure which test you are talking about, but onmouseenter is supported across all browsers by dojo, see #4307.

Oh apparently you are talking about dojox.fx.

Oh Sweet - Thanks for pointing that out.

Indeed - Sorry for the late reply btw - I've been on vacation.

mark all (open) tickets w/blank milestones to be "tbd"; their milestones need to be set to a version number or to "future"

i'd really like to address this

Just adding a cross reference to a closed ticket, marked as a duplicate of this one:

Are we sure that these are duplicates? They seems different to me.

I believe this was fixed as part of my Animation enhancenment. Now, anytime a start value is needed, the calculations are done on the fly.
