Item194: Nokia E90 Web browser crashes when hovering menus

Actually I just tested that on N95 and it is the same result. So NextWiki is probably not browseable from any Nokia smartphone. Mind you even if it would not crash on N95 it would be unusable anyway with our current layout.

The Web application panics with 'KERN-EXEC 3' (bad pointer indirection) when hovering the menus. It's obviously a bug in Nokia's Web application but it would be nice to work around it. I suspect it might be triggered by that superfish plug-in we are using. I don't have any crash when browsing Slion.net which is also using NatSkin.

Since Nokia's Web is using Safari engine it might be worth giving it a try with Safari on desktop and see what we get.

works great on safari 3.0.3 and 3.2. could you check http://jquery.com/ (which also has hover-overs) and maybe some of the demos and see if that also crashes your phone's browser?

jquery.com works fine on my E90. However I don't get the tooltip pop-up from the top-right tool bar. I do get the pop-up from the 'CSS Compliant' though.

On nextwiki.org I do get one or two tooltip pop-up from the web bar but it crashes before I get a chance to hover a third menu item.

Looks like this got fixed somewhere along the way. I was looking for trace of superfish in the page code and could not find it anymore. I'm under the impression that the unused superfish got remove thus fixing the crash on my phone.

Later: Seems like you guys are now using foswikisite,pattern as skin which would explain why I can not find traces of superfish anymore as that was used by NatSkin. However TinyMCE is not working on my E90. It displays well all the buttons but I can't focus the text input.

Closing this item.
