clicking on the toggle offline widget no longer takes you offline, making it harder to test offline :-( Investigating...

marking nsbeta1+

Can I get an r= and an sr=? With this fix, the offline widget works again, and since we're using the apps init method, we get tooltips and the correct startup state. There might be a better place to put this js call, but I'm not familiar enough with the way our js is structured. Ideally, it would get called whenever a mail/news window is opened.

looks good to me. does it work in stand alone msg window and the 3 pane? sr=sspitzer

let me see if there is a better place to put the init call...

the stand alone message window, the three pane and the alt 3 pane have onload handlers. all 3 onload handlers call the function you put the js call. so it's good stuff. sr=sspitzer

fix checked in.

testing commercial builds 2001052904 on Win NT 4.0 2001052908 on Linux 2.2 2001052908 on MAC OS 9.0.4 Verifying that clicking the offline indicator is working in the following list: a.Browser b.Composer/Editor page c.Mail/news compose window d.Messenger window e.Separate message window f.Separate newsgroup window g.search messages window h.address book window i.history window j.subscribe to newsgroups window I am not verifying it is in sync with other options such as File|Work offline, etc.. If this is incorrect please let me know. Testing on all 3 platforms, I noticed that clicking the offline widget does not work in the following windows: -history window -subscribe to newsgroups window -search messages window But for all other windows it works fine. Not sure if the widget is supposed to be in those 3 windows that if fails in. If they are not or we don't care about those widget status in those 3 windows, then we can mark this bug valid. otherwise I'll wait for one of the senior people here to advise what is supposed to happen next.

gchan, there should be a known bug about those 3 windows. (I think I logged it.)

Yup you're right Seth. It's bug 80970 So can I mark this bug as Verified? Or does it depend on the other 3 windows being fixed first?

this bug got over-shadowed by other fixes to the offline widget, so bienvenu's fix and the subsequent fixes have made it so the general problem is fixed. gchan: based on your comments in this bug, I'd verify this bug and add yourself to the history / search / subscribe offline indicator bugs. shout out to my peeps: laurel also logged a bug for offline indicator problems in search / subscribe. (I added a comment to her bug a few minutes ago.)

marking bug as verifed.
