[patch][ccla] dojox.storage won't load cross-domain in IE6

[guest]

dojox.storage refuses to load from a cross-domain location under IE6; it throws an "Object doesn't support this property or method" exception that the Microsoft script debugger is unable to provide any visibility into, and which seems to be uncatchable by Firebug Lite.

I experimented further by generating a cross-domain build containing a storage layer using the storage profile provided with the buildscripts. Loading that build cross-domain, I was able to get the same error at a slightly different place--it looks like the call to dojo.declare to set up the dojox.storage.FlashStorageProvider? bombs out on the "if(dojo.isArray(superclass)) {" line near the top of dojo.declare.

Test case that breaks in IE6

I've got this fixed under Dojo 1.1.1; I hope to have a patch ready shortly. :-)

Patch to let dojox.flash and dojox.storage load XD in IE6

Test page that loads dojox.storage; needs to be hostsed on Domain A and script src tweaked to point to your XD dojo build on Domain B

[guest]

My changes against trunk are attached as storage_patch.txt.

The xd_storage.html attachment is the page I've been using to test in IE6. The page needs to be hosted on some domain, and it will need to be modified to point to the correct location of an XD dojo build on some other domain.

Please let me know if there are any issues with it. Otherwise, enjoy. :-)

Also, in case there's any confusion, my employer (AG Interactive) filed a CCLA last year, so the patch should be kosher for you to either include as-is or modify as needed. Thanks. :-)

Hi mpirnat! Thanks for the patch. I'm not sure it will make the 1.2 release since I'm a bit snowed in at work, but I will apply the patch soon.

mpirnat, can you tell us who you are so we can verify your CLA?

Sorry mpirnat, seems I can't read...

I've incorporated the patch; however, the test case given isn't sufficient to really make sure things work, so I'm adapting the Dojo Storage Test to also work cross-domain to make sure the patch works. Still working on it.
