Fluid Infusion 1.3

What is Fluid Infusion?

Fluid Infusion is a collection of rich, reusable, accessible user interface components built for the Web. These components have been designed by a cross-disciplinary team and thoroughly tested for usability and accessibility. By incorporating Fluid components into your web application's user interface, you will make your application easier to use by more people. Easier to use means happier users.

Known Issues

FSS:

• Flexible columns don't maintain proper alignment under certain conditions
• In IE, major font size changes break text positioning within form controls

Framework:

• Renderer performance can be slow on IE 6 and 7 in some contexts

Inline Edit:

• Chrome 4 in WIN XP does not allow tabbing out of tinyMCE editor's edit field
• Previous edits are persisting in Edit Mode despite demo being reloaded in IE8

Renderer:

• Renderer appears to corrupt templates containing empty tags on Opera (maybe others)
• Attempt to add children to leaf component in tree results in "targetlump is undefined" error
• Enclosing branch nodes within markup which has "headers" attribute causes them to become invisible to the renderer

• When JavaScript is turned off, the Uploader is still visible beneath the Simple Uploader
• Deleting files on the local filesystem after they have been added to the Uploader's queue will cause inconsistent behaviour
