[Xerte-dev] Re: Using Toolits in Opera

Yes, I tried putting a border around it which displays correctly (like in FF).

The onmousedown calls single_click and file_folder_click_pause - I tried just calling an alert from it which worked in other browsers but not in Opera.

I found a couple of places referring to specific browsers but neither seemed to be referring to clicking/selecting - probably looking in the wrong place.

What does the onmousedown call?

One of the problems in the code is that I have to define single click
and double click myself, and I recall the FF was a lot slower. I think
somewhere in the code is a block of code which says "if IE then else"
when it comes to detecting the frequency of clicks.

The alternative is that div isn't appearing correctly on the screen
(or where you would expect it to). Perhaps give the DIV a border
element so you can see where opera thinks it is?

Mark once reported it as not working in Opera (a long, long time ago)
