Legarlabs

[joerg]

i am using opera 5.12 and ever sence i switched from ie5.5 many websites show up as a blank page called legarlabs. Any help would be nice.

[qball]

no help.

why you switchy

[joerg]

i switched because in ie5.0 or 5.5 after installing 5.5 whenever iclick the back button or exit a window ie crashes. I use opera because i couldn't navigator and i like the abillity to use mouse gestures.

[qball]

Still no help.

IE5.0 was fairly 'twitchy', though in my experience 5.5 has been very stable in NT4, NT4WS, 98. Since IE is free, I keep on top of the updates.

Anyway, any chance of some urls that cause this behavior? It could be something as simple as scripting or java not supported by opera, I may be able to tell from url source.

[joerg]

No it happens randamly it has even happened here once. If i where to use 5.5 do you know of any way ican get mouse gestures in internet explorer thanks.

Whats a mouse gesture?

Do you mean changing the pointer to some annoying other graphic (like a spinning globe)? That would be javascript.

[joerg]

It is a movement you make with the mouse. For instance on opera if i were to hold on the right mouse button and drag the mouse a little to the left it would be like clicking on the back button. It saves alot of time.

[qball]

OK.

What do the rodent police exclaim when a 'mouse' cop gets shot:


Drum roll....DRUM ROLL..., please.

mousedown!

lol, lol, lol...

mouse gestures, are basically called events:
mouseover
mouseout
mouseover and mouseout, over.
mouserightclicky
mouselefttclicky
mousedrag
mousedrop
mousegetfocus
mouselosefocus
mousegetoutcatbelly
mouseatesomuchcheese.(getfat.mousefood())

so many events, so little time...

Actually, disregarding my poignant sarcasm, this may be accomplished with javascript.

This would be a browser specific implementation, btw.

Anyway, javascript mouse events occur on objects, like buttons and images. So to make the browser appear to have this behavior you basically need a transparent object that covers the whole browser window. From there you may be able to code for the appropriate mouse events, though this may be painfully slow.

Iffin you are still following, the tricky part is the right/left/whatever click and drag. What you describe is best described as a button down drag left. OK, iffin drag event even exists in javascript, the code in the drag event needs to trap direction, thus knowing when you drag left. The painfully slow part is the fact that once a drag is initiated and detected as a drag, your code for the event is executed. This will most likely create a choppy mouse motion for ANY mouse movement.

A mouse gesture is when you cut off one of the nappy haired grey bastards and he flips you the bird.
