Opera Issue and Solution (Maybe)

[Reorx]

I've recently began using the Opera browser and quickly found a problem with the recipe display page (as mentioned in an older thread). I get multiple +/- and bullet images, sometimes continually appearing (about 2 a second until I close the page). Obviously this makes viewing the recipes a little more challenging...

The issue seems to be that the makeTrees() function is being called multiple times on the Opera browser. I would guess that this article would explain it as being something related to the addevent() function, although I haven't explored this further.

As for a quick solution, just making sure that makeTrees() only runs once a session seems to be enough in some quick tests, eg:

var OnlyRunOnce = 0;

function makeTrees () {
	if (OnlyRunOnce > 0) {
		return;
	}
	OnlyRunOnce = 1;
...

I did this all pretty quick so I'd do a few more tests before deciding the best way of fixing it that doesn't break anything.

This is a Ngreth or maybe a Kyros thing - going to make sure they see it.

I'll try to remember to play with this on the weekend. I need to download Opera and figure out its debugging features, though, so I can see what's going on.

Any update on this

Hiya,

just saw this post and wondered if there was an update on this? Because it still happens .

Aha, so that explains why I have Opera installed on my browser! I knew I installed it for something to do with EQTC, but for the life of me, I couldn't remember what.

I'm going to be busy this weekend, but time permitting, I'll look into it in the next week or two.

Does Java have global variables like that? I frankly forget...

Short answer, yes, you can have class variables, which are visible within the scope of the class. Somewhat longer answer: no, not across multiple classes, but you can fake that with static variables or Properties or singletons.
