JavaScript Engine Build Notes

JavaScript Engine 19.0.6.48

  • cWebGrid: Fixed text color issue in grids for the Df_Web_Creme, Df_High_Contrast and Df_Modern_Sky themes.
  • cWebList: Fixed a bug causing lookup lists to not center properly on the currently selected row.
  • cWebList: Fixed a bug causing the list to load wrong data before the first record after a Ctrl+Home.
  • cWebColumnLink: Fixed a bug causing cWebColumnLink to wrap differently than it used to.
  • WebOrderMobile: Changed pbFillHeight to false on ZoomOrder detail list which conflicted with pbScroll being false.

JavaScript Engine 19.0.5.47

  • Increased minimal supported version in browser check message (not the check itself) to Internet Explorer 11.
  • Fixed syntax issue in the designer that prevented it from reaching the browser check on Internet Explorer 8 and older.
  • The designer now suppresses JavaScript errors it might catch.

JavaScript Engine 19.0.5.46

  • WebList / WebGrid: Fixed bug (new in 19.0) where manual data-aware lists were not performing client-side sorting because they invalidly went into paged data loading.
  • Added missing df.tNumber and df.tDate support to valuetree serialization/deserialization in the JavaScript Engine.
  • WebOrder: Added piContentWidth to the DemoFloatingPanel menu demo to improve animation looks.

JavaScript Engine 19.0.5.45

  • cWebTreeView: The OnSelect now only fires when the selected item actually changes (BT: 7087).
  • cWebFloatingPanel: Changed positioning for fpFloatByControl and fpFloatFixed to position: fixed since positioning was already calculated according to the browser window. This solved issues where the viewport is not full-screen.
  • cWebList: Improved behavior of search popup for date and datetime fields so it no longer fills in a complete date when opening (BT: 6835).
  • Performed JSLint validation and fixed several syntactical issues in the JavaScript Engine.

JavaScript Engine 19.0.5.44

  • cWebGrid: Improved the logic that determines the initially selected column to take the disabled state into account. piCurrentColumn now defaults to -1, meaning it is automatically determined. It used to be 0, which fixated to the first column even if it is disabled (BT: 7250).
  • WebMobileZoom Wizard: Changed caption of the cancel button generated by the wizard to "Cancel Changes" instead of "Clear/Add" which suggested it would clear the view.
  • WebMobileZoom Wizard: Changed the CSS classname of the cancel changes button to WebIcon_Refresh as the previously used name did not exist.
  • cWebGroup: Setting pbCollapsible to true on a group with nested groups caused the nested groups to show the collapse button as well.
  • cWebGroup: Fixed a bug (new in 19.0) causing JavaScript errors when nesting panels inside a group.
  • Designer: Dragging a control from the class palette while a control of the same type was selected prevented the new control from being dropped inside that control.
  • cWebGrid: Fixed automatic rowid generation when adding data to a non-data-aware grid that doesn't implement OnSaveRow.
  • Df_Flat_Touch / Df_Flat_Desktop: Added WebIcon_Refresh CSS class showing a refresh icon and working properly on buttons and menu items.

JavaScript Engine 19.0.5.43

  • cWebFloatingPanel: Added piContentWidth property that fixates the content width for the fpFloatLeft.. pePosition modes.

  • Designer: Fixed focus stealing issue when changing object structure in mobile select views.
  • Designer: Updated background color and error message style to match Studio.

JavaScript Engine 19.0.5.41

  • cWebAccordionCard: Fixed pbExpanded.
  • cWebColumnHighlight: Changed casing of psHighlightCssClass to psHighlightCSSClass to match other property names.
  • Added _wp function again that went missing with the addition of server web properties.

JavaScript Engine 19.0.5.40

  • Added typeTime as data type for DEO objects with support for masking and input filtering. The psTimeFormat on the cWebApp class determines the default display and edit format.
  • cWebList: On a scrolling list it now prevents the rubber band scrolling at the page level (the bouncing header issue).
  • cWebList: Client-side sorting on columns with peDateType set to typeDateTime now actually sorts on date and time values.
  • cWebForm: Made sure that pbPassword overrides the pbHtml5NumberOnMobile property.
  • cWebTreeView: Added OnCollapse and OnExpand events.
  • cWebColumn: The OnHeaderClick event now always fires regardless of the pbSortable and pbColumnSortable property values. Setting pbOnHeaderClick to true still cancels the default sort order change.
  • cWebSlider: Improved behavior inside designer.
  • cWebMenuList: Renamed CSS classname WebML_Devider to WebML_Divider.
  • cWebModalDialog: Fixed pbShowCaption on initialization and JavaScript error when changing at runtime.

JavaScript Engine 19.0.4.39

  • cWebListSwipeButton: Fixed a bug causing errors when using the swipe button in non-data-aware lists.
  • cWebListSwipeButton: Improved keyboard control (arrow keys).
  • cWebForm: Disabled JavaScript input filtering with type="number" on mobile devices as this prevented the decimal separator from being entered. Input filters rely on cursor position which can't be queried on type="number" elements.
  • Added copyright notice on the console when the framework initializes.

JavaScript Engine 19.0.4.38

  • cWebList: Fixed a bug in the maximum scroll offset calculation for rows with margins.

  • Marked paPubPropertyModes and UrlDecode as private (as originally intended).
  • Fixed peChangedViewExitAction where cveAbandonChanges and cveConfirmAbandonChanges were inverted.
  • cWebService: Marked RegisterStandardInterface as private as the procedure never did anything on web services.

  • Designer: Improved usability of cardcontainer inside the designer.

JavaScript Engine 19.0.3.34

  • WebFloatingPanel: If pePosition is set to fpFloatByControl and piWidth is set to 0, it now takes the width of the control it is set to float by.

  • WebAccordionContainer: Improved behavior inside the designer.
  • WebMenuList: Improved themes so they properly show the submenu arrow.
  • WebColumn: Added peWordBreak property that controls how new lines and wrapping of the data are handled. The default value wbNone maintains the default behavior of ignoring line breaks and not wrapping text.

JavaScript Engine 19.0.3.33

  • Df_Flat_Touch & Df_Flat_Desktop: Fixed buttons causing horizontal scrollbars.
  • WebGrid: Fixed bug where tabbing out of the new row didn't change the column to the first column as expected.
  • WebMenuList: Added resize after initialization.
  • WebList: Added support for margins between rows. The scrolling engine now picks up on the margin and takes it into account.

  • The cWebList and cWebGrid now support a "non-scrolling" mode where they don't have scrollbars but grow according to their content. This will make the container scroll when necessary and can be more "web-like". The new pbScroll property controls the scrolling.

  • Changed Global.asa template to always include PageScopedSession=True for new projects. This should reduce debugging issues when using file upload and download features.

  • New pbAllowHtml property on cWebBaseMenu_mixin that can be used to allow usage of HTML in psCaption of cWebMenuItem objects.
  • Fixed height calculation of the cWebGroup, which didn't take the box model used on the container element into account (BT: 7105).
  • Fixed a bug in the WebGrid causing clicking on empty rows below the data to not insert a new row if a "new row" was still selected (BT: 7107).
