Bug 6519 – local.live.com: umbrella bug

• Status: RESOLVED
• Resolution: WORKSFORME
• Component: JavaScriptCore

[Geoffrey Garen]

This bug is also in Radar as <rdar://4371259>

local.live.com does not work in Safari.  This is probably not a regression, but notable.  It works fine in 
FireFox 1.0.7 on the same system.

On TOT, the JS console says document.body.insertAdjacentElement was called but undefined.

<GMT20-Dec-2005 17:40:30GMT> Mark Malone:
w3c appendchild should be used

Attached a rough first cut of the method only, not the JavaScript binding. We should try this to see if 
this is the only issue on the page.

[Geoffrey Garen]

Page depends on bug 6041 because it uses JS getters.

[Darin Adler]

Major bug, but I don't think it meets our P1 criteria.

[Rosyna]

Is this the same bug as 6622? The screenshot posted here seems to apply to 6622 (also, both sites are from Microsoft and IIRC, done by the same team).

[Geoffrey Garen]

The two may have the same underlying cause. We need more debugging work to decide that.

[Geoffrey Garen]

Darin and Maciej and I talked this over and concluded that adding support for the Mozilla compatibility layer, which uses the DOM, is a better approach than implementing IE's extensions to the DOM. So let's try that approach first. Relating bug 7838.

[Maciej Stachowiak]

local.live.com now sort of works. But there are still specific bugs with some operations.

[Darin Adler]

Can someone put some details here about what still doesn't work in local.live.com? We've fixed all the specific bugs that came out of this, so it would be good to dig in the next step.

Newbie here -- I just tried the latest build of Webkit with local.live.com, and it looks like the mouseover menus are hidden behind the map.

We now seem to be failing some kind of browser sniffing, as going to http://local.live.com/ in the nightlies redirects to http://intl.local.live.com/ and gives a much less dynamic interface.

[Sean E]

Any update on this?  Bug has been open for a year and a half, and http://local.live.com still does not work (redirecting to http://intl.local.live.com with a broken/sparse UI) on the beta release of Safari 3.  This is a relatively major website that is COMPLETELY broken on Safari...

This is working here now with r30119. 

[Robert Blaut]

Martin, the site works but it still redirects Safari to http://intl.local.live.com/ instead of http://maps.live.com. 

The remaining issue is an Evengelism bug.

That's interesting, because here in Germany, it redirects to http://maps.live.de/LiveSearch.LocalLive which is the full featured beast.

[Sean E]

I have some contacts on the Live team that I can reach out to, although:
1) For me, the "Get Directions" button does not work... it just goes to a spinning green wheel forever
2) Can anyone confirm that a shipping version of Safari works with http://local.live.com (with a user-agent override)?  I would have to imagine that they will not remove the block for a nightly build of webkit, but might do so for a shipping build of Safari.

With Safari 3.0.4 (5523.15) [via 10.5.2 9C31] with User Agent set to Firefox 2.0.0.2, http://local.live.com appears to work fine, including Get Directions.

I'm in the US and without the User Agent set it gets redirected to the intl.local.live.com text site, so this appears to be simply a bogus server-side block.

Is the issue still visible? The site redirects me properly to maps.live.com but I live in european country.

[Gavin Barraclough]

http://local.live.com/ seems to be no more, but http://www.bing.com/maps/ seems to work fine for me!
