dd_roundies fails for AJAX with IE8

By: Johnathon Wright on: June 14, 2010

Rounding things in IE8 is one of the biggest farses ever.

After some research, I'm using dd_roundies. I won't explain how it works, because you don't deserve that kind of suffering. It seems to work for rounding objects in IE before the page is set to the "ready" state, but it's failing for me in ajax requests (and in fact any javascript that happens after the page hits the "ready" state.)

I found this bit in the code: --- js if (DDroundies.IE8 && document.attachEvent && DDroundies.querySelector) { document.attachEvent('onreadystatechange', function() { if (document.readyState == 'complete') { var selectors = DDroundies.selectorsToProcess; var length = selectors.length; var delayedCall = function(node, radii, index) { setTimeout(function() { DDroundies.roundify.call(node, radii); }, index100); }; for (var i=0; i<length; i++) { var results = document.querySelectorAll(selectors[i].selector); var rLength = results.length; for (var r=0; r<rLength; r++) { if (results[r].nodeName != 'INPUT') { / IE8 doesn't like to do this to inputs yet */ delayedCall(results[r], selectors[i].radii, r); } } } } });

}

I already had the round method (below) to use jquery for rounding when that was an option, and roundies otherwise. I wasn't able to find a way to get IE to toggle the ready state of the document on ajax calls, so I created a method triggerlaterounding( ).

I'll be replacing "BrowserDetect":http://www.quirksmode.org/js/detect.html with DD_roundies.IEwhatever as soon as I get around to it.

---js function round( selector, radius ) { if( radius == null ) { radius = "10px" }

if( BrowserDetect.browser == 'Explorer' ) { DD_roundies.addRule(selector, radius); } else { $(function(){ $(selector).corner(radius); }); } }

function triggerlaterounding() { var selectors = DD_roundies.selectorsToProcess; var length = selectors.length;

In your ajax .js, just...

---js round('.popup', '10px');

triggerlaterendering();

ugly but effective.

It would be better to have patched ddroundies, but it's not on github or ... whatever... if ddroundies is still being maintained and you know where it lives, shoot me a note.
