Tapestry 4.1.2 problems?
When using Tapestry 4.0.2, I had been using Tacos for the DatePicker
based on Dojo. When I moved to Tapestry 4.1.2, I noticed that
Tapestry now includes the DropdownDatePicker natively, so I moved to
using that. However, some clients are experiencing 20-30 second
browser freezes as Tapestry calls Dojo to do whatever (I've seen it
myself on an older computer.) It worked just fine with Tacos, but not
now. In addition, it fails to initialize the DropdownDatePicker
component at all on the iPhone.
Any thoughts on what's going on? Even on a fast PC under Firefox, the
Javscript execution is rather slow, but bearable.

I normally disable it as well. But indeed, dojo needs a bit of reading &
searching in order to squeeze max performance.

A valid concern . There are some recent js changes on that regard - but
nothing I can announce yet.

Ah, thanks! I wasn't aware of that. I may see if I can get it working
using jscalendar, then. Thanks!
My other regret was due to the "preventBackButtonFix" business.
Leaving it off cause all sorts of problems for my clients (pages not
displaying or displaying wrong.) I had to disable it
(preventBackButtonFix="true") which fixed most of the problems.
I am concerned about the increasing reliance on DOJO which has never
run well cross browser. It's getting much better, but only works on
new browsers (Safari 2.0+, FF 2.0+, IE6+.) AOL users, in particular,
have issues with it. The old Tapestry JS just worked.

Tapestry 4.0.2 and tacos never had a DatePicker based on Dojo
As seen on
http://opencomponentry.com:8080/tacos/forms/FormEffectsExample.html
that datepicker is from http://sourceforge.net/projects/jscalendar
Perhaps this can be re-included in tacos 4.1 - esp. if someone is
willing to work / conribute on it

I haven't heard anything on this one. I'm now downgrading
DropdownDatePicker to plain old DatePicker since DropdownDatePicker
just doesn't work on many web browsers. We've been getting a string
of complaints, including crashed firewalls and other stuff. Too bad
since DropdownDatePicker looks much, much better.
I'm starting to regret upgrading to Tapestry 4.1.2 from 4.0.2

On a 400 MHz box (Mac running Safari) a page with 8-10
DropdownDatePicker components takes 50 seconds to render. This is not
good.
What is T4.1.2 doing differently than Tacos did under 4.0.2?
Setting preventBackButtonFix="true" seems to help a lot, oddly
enough. It fixes the loading problems on the iPhone, at least.
