Why must the onaudioprocess EventHandler be global? - garbage-collection

Consider the following code:
http://jsfiddle.net/NVcwZ/
The onaudioprocess EventHandler process is only called a few times. If the EventHandler is made global, on the other hand, it continues to be called as expected.

Why must the onaudioprocess EventHandler be global?
It seems this is a problem with the garbage collector, which appears to be eliminating the EventHandler after a few calls. Various posts on Google Code and Mozilla Support allude to this.
Does anyone know the current status of this issue, and when, if at all, it will be resolved?

I know there's a WebKit bug for this: https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=112521
I feel like I remember it being fixed in Chrome, but I just saw the behavior you described when I tried the first JSFiddle link — so I must be misremembering.
I couldn't find a link to a Chromium bug, but maybe I just didn't look hard enough.

WKWebView migration issues

Further to my earlier question
Migrating iOS Hybrid App from UIWebView to WKWebview
I have made good progress and only have a few loose ends to tidy up. The overall performance improvement over UIWebView is outstanding.
In UIWebView it was possible to set the focus on a text field programatically using
webView.keyboardDisplayRequiresUserAction = NO ;
However this is not available in WKWebView and ever since 2016 programmers have been developing an updating work arounds (swizzles) to overcome this.
I have tried implementing the latest of these I could find on Stack Overflow, which I found at https://stackoverflow.com/a/55344531/5948260
However as I am very inexperienced at coding in XCode please could someone tell me exactly how I add the above solution to my project. I have tried in vain to find examples of how exactly to do this i
on GitHub or elsewhere but to no avail.
So far I have tried copying the code provided in the above answer into a .m file and adding it to my project, but I got 20 or so errors, I then added an import statement for Foundation and most of these went away but XCode complained that it did not know what class WebViewInjection is. Also must there be a corresponding header file?. Must there be a corresponding interface statement? How does the method defined in the answer get invoked?
As I could not answer any of these, I also tried adding the method into my ViewController class. Whilst this was accepted with no errors, it had no effect on my app, ie. the keyboard did not come up automatically.
I would also want the webview to resize to appear above the keyboard and not to scroll to where the text field is as this seems a very messy solution to me.
All help very gratefully received.
I have now managed to get the keyboard displayed by adding
[self allowDisplayingKeyboardWithoutUserAction];
to viewDidLoad
I kept the allowDisplayingKeyboardWithoutUserAction method declaration inside my ViewController but changed the + infront of the method declaration to a - and this seems to have worked.
I still do not know how to resize the webview when the keyboard is displayed.

How can I force a re-render of a lit-element grandchild?

I have the following structure
<my-app>
<my-modal> <!--
<my-form></my-form>
</my-modal>
</my-app>
my-modal is designed as a generic wrapper, which I use to wrap many different dialogues within my app. In it I listen for a location change, and render html '<slot></slot>'
My problem is that, although my-modal is behaving correctly by showing and hiding the form, the form itself is never re-rendered, and so is always displayed showing stale content. I am currently kludging something using IntersectionObserver to fire when visible, but this feels really hacky and is causing other issues.
Is there a way that my-modal can force its children to re-render, even though the only child it knows about is <slot></slot>. I don't want my-app to know anything about my-modal's behaviours.
Might not fit
I don't want my-app to know anything about my-modal's behaviours
but you could add a function requestFullUpdate to my-modal which then iterates over all children and does a requestUpdate for all of them. Could be done on open/close or so... or even in an interval :p
However, I have a feeling that this just cures a "side effect" from an unfitting structure... maybe try to look at it from a different perspective - maybe something like this? https://stackoverflow.com/a/56297264/3227915

Where should I use XSP.endAjaxLoading()?

I have a Xpage that takes too long to load. So the client ask me to do a loading indicator.
I searched and found XSP.startAjaxLoading(), that I put in onClientLoad event of the Custom Control.
But now I don't know where should I put XSP.endAjaxLoading() to make the loading screen go away.
I'tried to use in afterRenderResponse and beforeRenderResponse: view.postScript("XSP.endAjaxLoading()"), since this comand is CSJS, but it doesn't work.
Thanks in advance.
I think you want to put it in the onComplete event. That can be difficult to find. You typically need to use the outline control to find it.
I have a video demo on NotesIn9 that has an example on this.
http://www.notesin9.com/2016/02/19/notesin9-188-adding-a-please-wait-to-xpages/?unique=http%3A//www.notesin9.com/2016/02/19/notesin9-188-adding-a-please-wait-to-xpages/
Your attempt (view.postscript) works only with full/partial updates and does not work for page loading.
You have used onClientLoad - which is executed when your page is finished with loading. I guess you get ajax animation after a while and it won't stop.
You should make preload screen - very simple XPage which starts animation and does not care to turn it off. In onClientLoad event redirect to your slow XPage. That will discard the animation.
I'd highly recommend using the Standby Dialog XSnippet https://openntf.org/XSnippets.nsf/snippet.xsp?id=standby-dialog-custom-control. I use it as a standard in all XPages applications.
I used this answer as solution: https://stackoverflow.com/a/35481981/5339322
I've saw it a few days ago, what made me think twice is that using this i should know what is doing my XPages to delay. I ran some tests and discovered what, and it was a call to a method in the afterRestoreView event, then I migrated it to onClientLoad event and used the solution in the answer above cited.
But I'm afraid that I have to keep an eye on it, so if someone adds some code that delays in one of the another events of XPages I have to move it again, of course, if it's possible, if it's not, I'll figure it out something diferent.
Thanks for all the answers ans comments.

Core data dirty flag not being set

I have a core data document based cocoa app that is working well except for one slightly odd problem.
For some reason, if I make a change to any of my fields the menu/window don't seem to recognize it - ie. the red close button doesn't get the black 'dirty' indicator and the File/Save menu item isn't enabled. However, if I attempt to close the application (via command-Q), I do get the popup asking me if I want to save my changes.
It seems that the document's dirty flag is being set, but the window/menu items aren't reacting to it. I am curious as to where I might look to see why this might be the case. I suspect that it may have something to do with my window not knowing about my ManagedObjectContext...
The only slightly atypical behaviour is that my document's makeWindowControllers method has been overridden and I am adding my window controllers using a call to my document's [self addWindowController:xxx] method. My window controllers subclass from NSWindowController so I had to add my own instance variable to each window controller to hold the ManagedObjectContext, but I suspect that this isn't getting passed to the window/menu. Not sure what the normal pattern is here...
Anyway, any thoughts would be much appreciated. Thanks
From the description it sounds like your UI elements are not actually bound to the document itself. If so, then the UI elements are not observing the document and are not reacting to changes in the document. Check the bindings.
Thanks in part to TechZen, and also re-reading my own question (in particular, where I said "I suspect that it may have something to do with my window not knowing about my ManagedObjectContext") I started to look at the bindings for my WindowController subclass.
As it turned out, I hadn't bound the window outlet for the File's Owner to my actual NSWindow. As soon as I did that, the black dirty dot and the window's menus started behaving correctly.

YUI TabView.get("tabs") => null: race condition?

Inside my "dom ready" function, I create a TabView on an HTML element and call tabview.getTab(0).blah(). Unfortunately every now and then I get an error that tabView.get("tabs") returned null in my javascript console (firefox).
YAHOO.util.Event.onDOMReady(function() {
tabview = new YAHOO.widget.TabView("content");
var tab0 = tabview.getTab(0);
...
tabview.getTab(0) is implemented as tabs.get("tabs")[0].
This happens sometimes but not every time. Does anybody have an explanation for why this happens sometimes? The DOMReady event occurs after the entire DOM is in place but before anything is displayed, right?
Speaking of which, sometimes I see flashing of data in some of the other tabs. That does not bode well I think for the nice, clean experience I was hoping for.
This is YUI 2.7.0/
OK - I believe the answer is, I was trying to use prototype and YUI at the same time. In theory I think that is possible but you need to pick one or the other when it comes to doing things on the "dom:loaded"/onDOMReady events, if you know what I mean.
So I don't know what was happening, but it was some sort of race, and once I picked a single mechanism for doing things when the dom was ready, everything is working fine.
