Description

« Hide

When you drag the google portlet in Firefox & Safari, the whole screen just turns white, the scroll bars locks, and the page just says loading.

Firebug says "google is not defined" and "gsearch not defined".

This only seems to affect the google portlet

This bug affects any channel or portlet which includes "document.writeln" javascript statements. As all Google APIs use document.write, this bug is particularly noticeable for portlets which use the Google APIs or GWT.

This bug is the result of a documented, unfixed bug in the jQuery drag and drop functionality. We don't expect jQuery to fix this bug any time in the near future, but the Fluid project has indicated an interest in investigating workarounds.
