A miniport driver must make an NDIS_STATUS_DOT11_INCOMING_ASSOC_REQUEST_RECEIVED status indication after the NIC receives an incoming association request frame from a peer station on an infrastructure BSS.
The data type for this indication is the DOT11_INCOMING_ASSOC_REQUEST_RECEIVED_PARAMETERS structure.
The NIC should validate the association request and determine whether to accept the request, following IEEE 802.11 standards. The NIC can also use its own proprietary logic to examine proprietary fields in the request. The miniport driver should issue this indication after it and the NIC have validated the association request and have accepted the request based on their own internal logic. When the operating system receives this indication, it assumes that the NIC has accepted the association request.
If the association request packet is not valid, or if the NIC decides to reject the request, the NIC should send an association response packet that rejects the request and should not present this indication to the operating system.
The miniport driver calls NdisMIndicateStatusEx to make an NDIS_STATUS_DOT11_INCOMING_ASSOC_REQUEST_RECEIVED indication, and must pass a pointer to an NDIS_STATUS_INDICATION structure through the StatusIndication parameter. When making this indication, the driver must set the following members of the NDIS_STATUS_INDICATION structure:
StatusCode must be set to NDIS_STATUS_DOT11_INCOMING_ASSOC_REQUEST_RECEIVED.
StatusBuffer must be set to the address of a DOT11_INCOMING_ASSOC_REQUEST_RECEIVED_PARAMETERS structure.
StatusBufferSize must be set to sizeof(DOT11_INCOMING_ASSOC_REQUEST_RECEIVED_PARAMETERS) + AssociationRequest_Frame_size.
Available in Windows 7 and later versions of the Windows operating systems.

There's only one season left of "True Blood," meaning those hoping to finally see a sex scene between Bill (Stephen Moyer) and Eric (Alexander Skarsgard) are running out of time. Sadly, Moyer doesn't think it will happen, even though he's rooting for it.
In an interview with HuffPo, Moyer says he hasn't seen a single script for the show's final season, even though shooting begins in January. However he doesn't envision Eric and Bill getting any steamy screen time together. "Alex and I have been pushing for an Eric-Bill love scene for a long time, but they always said no," he reveals. His dream scenario involves the two men going to see their favorite football teams face off against each other, and let it bloom from there.
When asked how Sookie (Anna Paquin) would feel about it, he admits, "I'm sure Sookie would find a way to be part of the action. She usually does." "True Blood" will return in the summer of 2014.

Alset Signs Stutler Technologies Corp. to Resell Lightning Protection Solution
Stutler Technologies will sell and service Lightning Shield protection against harmful ground currents as part of Alset's new reseller program
Stutler Technologies, one of the nation's largest full service system integrators for major wireless equipment manufacturers and operators, is the first company to become part of Alset's new reseller program. Alset created the program in a move to rapidly expand sales of its lightning protection products.
Alset's Lightning Shield protects telecommunications and other electronic equipment installed at rural sites from the harmful ground currents caused by nearby lightning strikes. Stutler Technologies will install and service Lightning Shield, primarily focusing on companies seeking to protect their RF, telephony, and networking equipment and quality of service in rural areas.
Lightning Shield is also a critical protection solution for utilities, railroads, airports, and other industries that rely on remotely located equipment. Alset is actively recruiting resellers to target those customers as well.
"We know that partnering with resellers and system integrators is the best way to extend our sales reach, and a partner like Stutler Technologies is a great start," said Gary Fox, president of Alset Corp. "That is why we launched our reseller program and are eagerly seeking additional partners."
For the companies that rely on Kansas-based Stutler Technologies, Alset's Lightning Shield helps ensure uninterrupted service and high reliability, particularly for commercial grade broadband and backhaul services. Lightning Shield is a new technology that – by protecting against harmful ground currents caused by nearby lightning strikes – provides security beyond what grounding and surge protection can offer.
"We've been very impressed with Lightning Shield and the way it keeps lightning in the ground and off electronic circuits," said Dave Kirk, director of business development for Stutler Technologies Corp. "We can assure our customers that our installations will consistently deliver the highest reliability. Lightning Shield will protect their investment in broadband equipment and secure their networks, even in the toughest weather conditions."
Lightning Shield protects against lightning damage that conventional surge protection and grounding do not address. The danger from a nearby lightning ground strike is that its high frequency energy travels through the earth to the remote equipment site, saturates its grounding system, and forces fault current through the electronics equipment on the bonded power circuits. Eliminating this fault path through the electronics, by temporarily isolating the equipment from the power connection, protects the equipment for the duration of the lightning threat.
Conventional surge protection is designed to protect equipment from lightning-induced current on telecom and power conductors. A grounding system is designed to dissipate low frequency energy to the earth. Neither will protect the equipment from lightning ground currents, especially in areas where soil conditions make it difficult to achieve a low-resistance ground.
Lightning Shield is available in 50-amp (LS-50) and 200-amp (LS-200) versions small and large remote sites. LS-ATS provides customized protection for larger facilities, such as remote switches or MTSOs. Remote Manager rounds out the product line, offering control and test capabilities that enhance site management.

There are numerous features for the iPhone 8. We listed some of the most rumored iPhone 8 features. So, check it out to get a better idea bout the features of the iPhone 8, iPhone 8s, iPhone 8s Plus devices.
5G Technology
The iPhone 8 will be a monster in hardware and the technology too. The tech giants may be including the 5G technology in iPhone. After the domination of the 4G, the tech world is slowly stepping into the 5G technology where the internet speed will be like mad. Even 4G can deliver 150mbps speed. Then, what about the 5G technology? It will be transferring GB's of data within seconds. No more worry about the speed of your internet connection. Here comes the iPhone 8 series with latest 5G technology.
Super-Fast Charging
Fast charging is gone out of fashion. It's the super-fast charging era. iPhone devices are already coming with fast charging technology that considerably boost the charging speed of the iPhones. But, they have to do something unique in the charging to attract the visitors more to the device. So, they may be including some enhanced charging capabilities to the device. As we all know, Apple is always unique in technology. So, they may introduce something unique in charging too.
In-Built Projector and Keyboard Projection
Recently, the rumors were on to the iPhone 6 including the in-built projectors and keyboard projection features. But, the iPhone 6 has no such features. As iPhone 7 already on the warehouse, there is no chance for such features on this sibling too. Now, the rumors elongating to the iPhone 8. The speculations stating that the new iPhone 8 will be capable of projecting on-screen visuals to anywhere without the help of a projector. And the keyboard will be projected to the surface for easier typing like in Personal computer. If all goes exactly as per the rumors, it will definitely a life changing smartphone.
Retina Eye Scanner
Retina eye scanner is one of the most advanced security systems in smartphones.Instead of those breakable codes and pattern locks, the Retina scan is the extreme level of protection that delivers superior protection with your eyes. The eyes are the keys to the smartphone access. Nevertheless to say that no one else can imitate your eyes, thus the access too.
Holographic display
Holographic displays are something future where you could enjoy the reality of the 3D objects right in front of your through the displays. The iPhone 8 is to introduce with something like this that provides a 3D holography right in front of your eyes without any equipment needed.
Advanced Fingerprint Scanner
Fingerprint scanner in iPhone 8 will be something different from the previous versions of iPhone. There are some rumors stating that the fingerprint sensor will be placed on the backside of the device to enhance the reach to the sensor very easily. It will make it possible not to raise your fingers only for the fingerprint access. Just hold the device in hand and the device will automatically scan the finger placed on the backside. A great feature seen in many devices these days and in iPhone 8 too may be.
256 GB Storage
The iPhone 8 will be having a 256GB variant. As the previous models were limited to 128GB, the iPhone 8 will have a 256GB variant too. This will greatly enhance the productivity of the iPhone 8 thus making it a favorite of HD video lovers and high-end gamers. As iPhone not supporting any external memory cards, the internal storage must fulfill the needs of the users. So, iPhone 8 will have the solution to this problem and Apple introducing the brand new device with a storage of 256GB.
Curved Display
Curved display in iPhone 8 is just a speculation and rumored many times in many places all over the internet. The devices like Samsung galaxy s7 edge already comes with some curved edges, the Apple device may also have something unique in the case of the display. They may release a separate model alongside the iPhone 8s, iPhone 8s Plus models, especially for the curved display iPhone.
Enhanced 3D Touch
3D touch already made a revolution in the smartphone world. The experience of touching each pixel with a real-life feel is unpredictably awesome. The 3D touch in iPhone 8 will be something special with enhanced features that deliver superior functions like never before. No more problems will happen with the sensitivity of the 3D functionality. The brand new Apple iPhone 8 will have the bug fixes.
Inbuilt Keyboard Projection
Gone are the days when the users carried an external keyboard for having a good speedy typing session. But, no more it is a problem and no need to carry them on your journey. Just tap a button and the keyboard will project in front of you in any of your workstations, tables, bed and anywhere you want. It will use the latest laser projection technology to deliver the correct output according to the motion of your fingers. The technology will make sure that the keyboard keys makes sense to each of your taps as you doing on the normal keyboards.
Inbuilt Projector
The in-built projector is one of the most discussed and rumored feature of the upcoming iPhone 8. The smartphone will be able to project the screen to anywhere as you like. To the walls, clothes or anywhere you can enjoy the power of the ultra HD projection of the screen. The Keyboard projection will join the Projector to deliver a device free gaming experience on your wall. If this comes true, you will be able to play the games using the projected keyboards and the projection on your walls.
Siri Will be more Intelligent
Siri is one of the unique attractions of the Apple devices. The personal assistant inside the device can deliver seamless support to the users by answering many of the questions and virtually making the tasks easier. In iPhone 8, the Siri will be some more intelligent than before. The advanced functionalities will be used in the iPhone 8. So, Siri must be that much functional to provide the support for those services seamlessly. Apple will introduce a rebooted version of the Siri with their upcoming device.

In July 2012, a California appellate court affirmed a trial court's award of attorneys' fees to a trade secret defendant, finding that the plaintiff that had raised the claim of trade secret misappropriation in the case did so in "bad faith." Most state enactments of the Uniform Trade Secrets Act (UTSA) allow an award of defense fees when a trade secret claim has been initiated or maintained in bad faith, and courts in several states have issued such awards in recent years. As a result, the potential for a trade secret defendant to recover fees and costs from a trade secret plaintiff is an important consideration in trade secret litigation.
In SASCO v. Rosendin Electric, Inc., the plaintiff sued three former employees and their new employer, alleging that the defendants misappropriated trade secrets relating to a software system for construction projects. The plaintiff argued that the defendants used the proprietary system to underbid the plaintiff and that the plaintiff lost a lucrative contract as a result. The defendants submitted declarations stating that they had not taken software from the plaintiff and that the plaintiff used an off-the-shelf software product. They also submitted a declaration from a third-party company explaining that the plaintiff lost the project bid because the plaintiff was the highest bidder. By contrast, the plaintiff's CEO testified, among other things, that he had no evidence that the former employees took anything. He further stated his belief that the defendants had to prove that they had not taken documents when they left the company. In response to a question about whether the plaintiff had actual evidence of trade secret misappropriation, the court noted, the company's CEO stated that "they either took it or they're stupid."
When the defendants moved for summary judgment, the plaintiff voluntarily dismissed the lawsuit. The defendants then moved for a finding of bad faith and an award of fees and costs under California Civil Code Section 3426.4. Relying in part on a 2009 decision (FLIR Systems, Inc. v. Parrish) in which Wilson Sonsini Goodrich & Rosati won a $1.6 million fee award for two prevailing trade secret defendants, the appellate court affirmed the trial court's finding that the plaintiff had acted in bad faith because the lawsuit was objectively and subjectively unreasonable. The court held that trade secret defendants need not show that a case is frivolous in order to establish "bad faith."
SASCO makes clear that to establish "bad faith" under California's trade secret statute, subjective bad faith must exist on the part of the plaintiff (i.e., the plaintiff must have filed the lawsuit for an improper purpose such as harassment, delay, or to thwart competition). In addition, to prove bad faith, a defendant must demonstrate "objective speciousness," which is present "where the action superficially appears to have merit but there is a complete lack of evidence to support the claim." Because subjective bad faith was not an issue presented on appeal, the court's analysis focused primarily on whether objective bad faith existed. The court held that it did, finding "no evidence in the record supporting the claim that defendant misappropriated SASCO's trade secrets."
The potential availability of attorneys' fees for trade secret defendants in UTSA jurisdictions means that both sides must plan their litigation positions carefully. For a potential trade secret plaintiff, it is important to make sure that there is a colorable claim of trade secret misappropriation and to distinguish the legitimate goal of intellectual property protection from merely stopping former employees from engaging in competition against their former employer—a goal that trade secret law does not encompass. The SASCO court underscored that speculation that the individuals must have taken trade secrets based on their decision to join a competitor does not constitute evidence of misappropriation, nor does the mere fact that their former employer may lose (or has lost) business as a result of the employees' change in employment. The court also noted the absence of (but did not require) any pre-litigation investigation or forensics work prior to the filing of the complaint.
For a trade secret defendant, if an early case investigation shows that the case lacks merit, it is important to put the plaintiff on notice of the defendant's intention to seek attorneys' fees early in the case and to point out the absence of supporting evidence continually as the case proceeds.
Wilson Sonsini Goodrich & Rosati is following developments around the country with respect to fees awards in trade secret cases actively, and the firm is available to assist companies, employees, newly formed businesses, and investors with every aspect of trade secret litigation and counseling. For more information, please contact Fred Alvarez, Rico Rosales, Marina Tsatalis, Laura Merritt, Charles Tait Graves, or another member of the firm's employment and trade secrets litigation practice.

This is a video on how to make a durable drum head using a soda bottle or water bottle. This material shrinks when you heat it and will secure itself to any can with a rim. No glue or tape in needed! Also, because the materials are commonly found in recycle bins or even along side the road the drum is essentially free. watch the video to see how to make it.
Please note: Plastic can release harmful fumes when overheated. It is best to do this project with good ventilation. That being said, if you follow my instructions and don't overheat the plastic, there is little chance of fumes being released.
Happy drumming!

We basically enjoy our two night stay at the condo, the place is well kept and clean, amenities like aircon, wifi, cable tv, refrigerator etc are working well and we did have relaxing night sleeping. The kids love much the swimming pool. The staff (John and Melisa) really prepared the place, are courteous and welcoming. Just need more courteousness from the Sea Residences guards on duty specially when they need to inform us to register before using the pool. We are guests here, need some more respect in their approach.

Hello, all you delictable little people of this group. Yesterday, I finally recieved a magazine I've been waiting for. It's the Spring Issue (2003) of the Wonka Vision Magazine, where they had a 5 page article on Homestar Runner.
Including article on Justin Luczejko's phone interview with the brothers, Homestar Runner Video Game reviews (Trogdor, Awexome Cross 98 and Duck Pond Simulator 3.0), Levels of Homestar Fandom (which are YOU?), Character Interviews, The Bros Chaps top 5 favourite Records of all time, Homestar Runner Character Comprehensive and Factoids and Tidbits.
Since I enjoy this community so much, I scanned in the pages and front cover featuring Homestar for you all. Warning, the cut might take a while to load. But it's all worth it in the long run!
Homestar's first front cover? You tell me.
Blah blah blah
Blah blah [WARNING SWEAR WORD] blah...
Hrm, are you a For'ner, Tourist, or Local?
Flaming hot pokers and scandals!
Did you know Coach Z is named for millionaire Craig Zobel? No? Now you know!
Well I hope you all feel a little more informed now.
Peace out.
Edit: Okay, it should ALL work now, and it should be clear enough for you guys to see. If there's any problems, let me know. And so sorry or having to delete the other post of this - too many kinks and it had to be fixed. So here it is.

Tested on Firefox 18.104.22.168 on WinXP.
Two consecutive |document.loadOverlay()| in JS are totally failing. Apparently, we need to wait for completion of the first one to call the second one. That's a design flaw and we should have a queue here.
This bug is painful because you have to rely on observers and write a queue manager yourself...
See attached test case: http://glazman.org/overlays/overlays.html
cc:ing Ben
From a duplicate:
Another testcase: http://mozilla.doslash.org/stuff/overlays-test/test9.xul
Additionally, the error console throws many exceptions (this from the trunk):
Error: uncaught exception: [Exception... "Component returned failure code:
0x80004005 (NS_ERROR_FAILURE) [nsIDOMXULDocument.loadOverlay]" nsresult:
"0x80004005 (NS_ERROR_FAILURE)" location: "JS frame ::
chrome://global/content/bindings/preferences.xml :: showPane :: line 647"
data: no]
Also asserts for me:
###!!! ASSERTION: forward references have already been resolved: 'Error', file
c:/mozilla/content/xul/document/src/nsXULDocument.cpp, line 1049
and leaks on shutdown.
*** Bug 355038 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
I've just run into this bug. It's serious.
A separate extension was making calls to loadOverlay, causing the call in my extension to fail. It just happened to squeeze in first. Thus, sections of functionality were just plain missing.
For what it's worth, still in 2.0:
Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:22.214.171.124) Gecko/20061204 Firefox/126.96.36.199
*** Bug 369481 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
Created attachment 255653 [details] [diff] [review]
Need to make sure the load observers are processed correctly with this change and address the XXXs in the diff. Also need to convert my testcases to proper reftests (use window.location to work around inability to pass relative URLs to document.loadOverlay() - bug 315988).
A comment in nsXULDocument.cpp claims we don't support loading the same overlay twice into the same document, because it "doesn't make sense anyway":
In fact we do support it, both with document.loadOverlay (provided that there's a sufficient interval between the two loadOverlay calls) and normal overlays, as far as I can see. I don't see why we should forbid that.
So how should this work?
Created attachment 258243 [details] [diff] [review]
Observers are handled correctly, but failures are not handled properly (like in the old code).
Yea this blocks bug 328070
Not a regression from 2.0. -'ing for 1.9.
Polvi is cool.
do we really want to ship with this bug?
> do we really want to ship with this bug?
We shipped 1.5 with document.loadOverlay in very questionable state, so it's probably not such a big deal.
More to the point, this code is rather messy and doesn't care about *so* many cases, that making sure it works correctly in all code paths is quite hard.
It would be easy to cook up a patch to make successive loadOverlay calls work properly in the common cases, but then you're replacing a clear bug (only one overlay can be loaded at a time) with lots of subtle bugs and the risk to introduce security risks.
(BTW I'm not working on this now and probably lost the more recent patch than what I have attached, so feel free to steal this one from me. You have been warned, though!)
The problem is that apparently this prohibits pefpanes (which are loaded with this function) from being overlayed at all, which does not only reduce extensibility (which we probably want) but also would be something that SeaMonkey needs in our new toolkit-derived prefwindow: Once I overlay (with a conventional manifest-based overlay) the pane that's being loaded with loadOverlay(), the observer to that loadOverlay() call doesn't fire any more.
> We shipped 1.5 with document.loadOverlay in very questionable state, so it's
> probably not such a big deal.
Sad to say, but Toolkit's prefwindow definitely isn't quite ready for realworld usage outside of simple cases like Firefox' prefpanes. See also bug 410562 and others.

Shouldn't it suffice to just queue the overlays and then walk back notifying the observers? You'd definitely don't want to load an overlay twice to avoid looping, but (simple) ested overlaying should work.
Which security risks do you expect? (While of course always possible, this pretty much sounds like a scarecrow here.)
I remember very little about this code, so can't delve into technical discussion now. I wrote what was my impression from trying to patch up this code.
> Shouldn't it suffice to just queue the overlays
That's what I'm doing. The hard thing about this code is that
a) the call graph is quite complicated on its own (supporting many different scenarios - fastload vs no fastload, initial load vs dynamic overlay, etc)
b) certain callbacks happen asynchronously from the event loop (meaning that the document may be touched in the interim)
c) it used to be the case that certain spots in the code could cause scripts to run (which could cause our code to be reentered).
You have to be sure you get to the end of the load process in any case - to call all overlay observers. And you have to be sure you handle the async notifications properly whatever order they come in (and be some notification always happens, so that you don't live in the loading state forever).
With the WIP#2 patch (I think) I had the problem with cancelled (BINDING_ABORTED) loads not being processed correctly; in normal cases it seemed to work correctly, but touching this code causes paranoia, as you see.
re scarecrow: possibly, but overlays are available to content, and the reentrancy issues and the fact that the script is able to make unexpected changes to document's state while it is loading make me feel uncomfortable. I'm mainly afraid of crashes here.
Maybe you're right and we should implement the simple fix and deal with corner cases in separate bugs. Feel free to take it :) I'll try to see if I still have my tests somewhere (not until Monday probably).
A patch like this feels like an alpha material though.

Unbitrotted WIP patch v0.3
Unbitrotted to the extent that it builds and appears to work - only to be considered as a starting point for the moment.
Created attachment 304557 [details]
different testcase, v1
Extract the contents of the zip into the extensions folder of a trunk nightly of SM or FF and open
With patch attachment 303723 [details] [diff] [review] applied, each group has three green labels. Without it, the last two groups don't load completely and stay red.
Nickolay, any ideas how to test this BINDING_ABORTED problems you saw?
Stuffing the overlay files with useless comments (eg. until they're 10 MB) allows to interrupt the loadOverlay calls. In this case, the testcase will fail - but I wouldn't expect it to work in this case anyway.
I didn't see any suspicious behaviour either, so maybe the testcase is just too simple for testing such edge case. Suggestions?
Otherwise, I'd suggest asking for first reviews...

Comment on attachment 303723 [details] [diff] [review]
Unbitrotted WIP patch v0.3
Neil, I think you'd be a better reviewer for this than I would...
Sorry, didn't find the tests. The binding_aborted thing was reproducible by stopping the load (e.g. using window.stop) after the loadOverlay call, iirc.
Thanks for taking this, I'd suggest fixing the XXXs (the stylistic one and notification-related at least) and poor grammar in comments before asking for reviews though.
Grammar fixes can be applied once we know whether the actual code changes are okay or not. :)
I doubt I'll be able to sr this in any sort of reasonable timeframe (most likely, not until June at best).
*** Bug 415152 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
Bug 415152 which is now duped against this one has blocking-firefox3+. Reasking for blocking-1.9.
Discussed with mconnor & beltzner regarding the blocking status of Bug 415152. That bug is a P4 and is being moved to the next 0.x release. Marking this bug accordingly.
Also, can't reproduce. Anyone have more info?

I can reproduce 100%, unfortunately. If you can reproduce, would you restore blocking?
(In reply to comment #27)
> Also, can't reproduce. Anyone have more info?
It's very easy to reproduce. Open the preferences panel and hold down the left or right arrow key to immediately switch as fast as possible through the several panes. Do this for one cycle. Afterwards you will see the error message within the Error Console. Tested with OS X 10.4.11.

Unbitrotted WIP patch v0.3
Why is a review requested on this patch if its author does not think it is ready?
Is this a regression? (It doesn't look like it is.) If not, what's the case that it actually *blocks* the release?
Seems like a regression to me, since I can't reproduce anything like this in Firefox 2 on Mac.
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=330458#c29 has the steps, which are simple to follow.
Case that it *blocks* the release?: when switched to after following the above steps, the preference panels' contents will be empty until the window is closed and reopened. I had as many as three panels in this state while testing.
(Additionally, there is a smattering of embedding issues which I don't really claim to fully understand.)
This core bug is not a regression, since the bug is basically about the overlay queueing code that never was written.
The case for blocking is platform quality, I suppose. Without this bug fixed seamonkey folks will have additional trouble implementing their preferences the way they want it. And this introduces an additional way for extensions to conflict.

It's not a regression. It basically never worked.

I should've been more clear; my originally filed bug, bug 415152, which was duped to this (and had blocking before), is clearly a regression from Firefox 2 -> 3 on Mac.

Sadly the latter one isn't true. I used the described STR from my comment 29 and it is reproducible with the latest 1.8.1 nightly build. At least two panels were empty.
*** Bug 440425 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
I run Firefox 3.0 on Linux, and this seems to be the problem I ran into with certain preferences panes just the other day.
This problem causes the problem for dynamic loading of editBookmarkOverlay.xul.
When the timing of clicking the star button and other dynamic loadings is almost same time, "Edit Bookmarks panel" is not displayed.
This is a very serious problem.
In the documentation on https://developer.mozilla.org/en/Document.loadOverlay, it tells that we have to rely on observer to know when the loading is complete. But when I try to load an overlay, and then load a second overlay inside the observer::observes method, it seems like second signal is never fired even if the second overlay is loaded. (I can see the xul code with a dump of the xul document).
Currently, I try to load two overlays with this pattern:
1. call the loading function
1.1 loadOverlay(url_one, new observer)
2. observer::observe is called with the good signal
RESULT = the document 1 is loaded
2.1 recall the loading function
2.2 loadOverlay(url_two, new observer)
3 <observer.observer is never called>
RESULT = the document 2 is loaded, but the event was not fired
I'm trying to use loadOverlay because I have a system that work with modules (actived depending on user rights known on runtime after a login dialog). Rights now I have the choice to load all overlays (wait about 30 seconds for xulrunner to open) or open the core system (wait around 10 seconds).
So, can you paste me some code that will help me to understand how to load more than 1 overlays?
The following code can load more than 1 overlays.
usage :
myLoadoverlay.loadOverlay(urlA, your_observerA, null);
myLoadoverlay.loadOverlay(urlB, null, null);
myLoadoverlay.loadOverlay(urlC, your_observerC, null);
Will run in the following order:
load urlA, execute observerA, load urlB, load urlC, execute observerC
//myLoadoverlay.loadOverlay(aURL, aObserver, document)
var myLoadoverlay = {
loadOverlay: function(url, observer, doc) {
myLoadoverlay.overlayUrl.push([url, observer, doc]);
if (!myLoadoverlay.overlayWait)
load: function() {
if (!myLoadoverlay.overlayUrl.length)
return --myLoadoverlay.overlayWait;
var [url, aObserver, doc] = this.overlayUrl.shift();
if (!doc)
doc = document;
if (!aObserver)
aObserver = myLoadoverlay.observer;
else {
var func = aObserver.observe.toString();
func = func.replace(/{/,"{if (arguments[1] == 'xul-overlay-merged') {myLoadoverlay.load();}");
eval("aObserver.observe = " + func);
var original_loadOverlay = Components.lookupMethod(doc, 'loadOverlay');
try {
original_loadOverlay(url, aObserver);
} catch(ex) {
myLoadoverlay.error(url, ex);
return 0;
observer: {
observe : function (subject, topic, data) {
if (topic == 'xul-overlay-merged') {
QueryInterface: function(aIID){
&& !aIID.equals(Components.interfaces.nsIObserver))
throw Components.results.NS_ERROR_NO_INTERFACE;
return this
error: function(aMsg, err){
const CONSOLE_SERVICE = Components.classes['@mozilla.org/consoleservice;1']
var error = Components.classes['@mozilla.org/scripterror;1']
if (typeof(err) == 'object')
error.init(aMsg + '\n' + err.name + ' : ' + err.message,
err.fileName ||
null, null, err.lineNumber, null, 2, err.name);
error.init(aMsg + '\n' + err + '\n', null, null, null, null, 2, null);
Sorry for the latest comment, but I tested more, created a test case on
http://test.progysm.com/xul/overlay/window.xul that works when you click on button 2 and found why it doesn't work inside my code.
My second overlay has 3 overlays.
When you try to load overlay that have overlays, it doesn't fire the merge signal.
(In reply to comment #42)
I think that it is not the contents about which it should argue here.
Please argue by the following forums.
I have found that if the overlay references a stylesheet with the <?xml-stylesheet ... ?> link then any observer based queuing system loads the first overlay and then fails to load subsequent items in the queue (I tried my own one and also the one above written by Alice White). If I take out the stylesheets it works. It would seem that Yan Morin is correct when he comments about signals not being fired when you would expect them to be. I don't know what Mozilla's policy is on overlays but I would hope that the observer would be triggered with a success/failure result regardless of what stylesheets or other overlays were referenced in the one you tried to load.
I'm not willing to keep the CSS for each overlay in the main stylesheet for my Firefox extension and the only way I've found so far to load multiple overlays in a specific sequence, each with their own CSS and JS files, is to use the timer based technique shown below. The presence of the loaded overlay is detected by checking for an element known to exist in the overlay. The observer is not used as it's useless in the current state of affairs.
var overlay_loader={
queue: [],
loading: false,
add: function(url,id)
load: function()
observe: function(subject,topic,data)
// don't bother to do anything because we cannot
// guarantee that this observer will be called anyway
You would use this in the following way:
Erik: please file that issue (observer not firing) as a separate bug. Most likely, it's an issue that needs to be dealt with before this bug is fixed, since the fix to this bug would likely just implement the queuing system inside document.loadOverlay().
Karsten, do you wanna still be the assignee of this bug?
Not working on this.
So how can we proceed with this bug? It's laying around for a couple of years now.
In case of QAE it blocks us from writing a couple of Mozmill tests because the preferences dialog produces some unpredictable behavior. See bug 499691. We don't use observers but whether which timing we are using tests will timeout because panes don't get loaded and displayed.
> So how can we proceed with this bug?
Find someone who has time on their hands to deal with the completely broken crap that is loadOverlay?
Ubuntu bug:
modified version of Erik's one to enable multiple load calls :
var OverlayLoader = {
queue: [],
loading: false,
add: function(url,id)
load: function()
if (OverlayLoader.queue.length == 0) return;
if (!OverlayLoader.loading)
OverlayLoader.loading = true;
document.loadOverlay(OverlayLoader.queue[0][0], null);
if (document.getElementById(OverlayLoader.queue[0][1]) != null)
OverlayLoader.loading = false;
if (OverlayLoader.queue.length == 0) return;
setTimeout('OverlayLoader.load()', 100);
usefull for us, when loading overlays in more than one extension at the same time.
(In reply to comment #51)
> document.loadOverlay(OverlayLoader.queue[0][0], null);
> setTimeout('OverlayLoader.load()', 100);
Using a timeout here seems the very wrong way to go. Why don't you use an
observer as second argument to your loadOverlay() call? That way, you can
really know when the overlay is merged and pop another one from the queue.
(In reply to comment #52)
> Why don't you use an observer as second argument to your loadOverlay() call?
If you look at comment 44 you'll see that I mentioned the problem whereby the observer is not fired if the overlay contains XML references to other overlays (stylesheets, scripts or other overlays).
(In reply to comment #53)
> If you look at comment 44 you'll see that I mentioned the problem whereby the

> (stylesheets, scripts or other overlays).
(Which you filed as bug 496320, but never mentioned here, so it was never looked at.)
Is this bug still exists in version 24???
MDN still referring to it

WonderCon 2012 Guest List Adds Jim Lee, Mark Waid, Art Adams, Etc.

Comments Off on WonderCon 2012 Guest List Adds Jim Lee, Mark Waid, Art Adams, Etc.
Press Release:
WonderCon Guest List Continues to Grow
Southern California comics convention attracts wide array of talented guests
Anaheim, CA – WonderCon, part of Comic-Con International's (CCI) family of nonprofit comics conventions, today announced another talented group of special guests, adding to its already impressive line-up. The newly announced guests include award-winning writers and artists from the world of comics as well as screenwriters and novelists. Fan favorite and DC Comics co-publisher Jim Lee appears on the list of additions, as well as award-winning comics scribes Mark Waid (Kingdom Come, Irredeemable, Daredevil) and Marv Wolfman (New Teen Titans, Tomb of Dracula).
Attracting 49,000 people in 2011, WonderCon has been an annual event in the San Francisco Bay Area since 1987. Because of renovations at its usual venue, WonderCon will relocate to Southern California for 2012. The three-day celebration of comics and popular art forms will be held in the spacious Anaheim Convention Center March 16-18, 2012, allowing many Southern California fans who might otherwise not make the trip to San Francisco to experience the wildly popular show.
Among the other recently added special guests are Arthur Adams (artist, Monkeyman and O'Brian, Ultimate Comics: X), Ernest Cline (author/screenwriter, Fanboys, Ready Player One), Joe Hill (author, Locke and Key, Heart-Shaped Box), Richard Kadrey (author, Sandman Slim, Kill the Dead), and Richard Starkings (writer/letterer/designer, Elephantmen). For a complete list of special guests and bios, visit http://www.comic-con.org/wc/
Because WonderCon is produced by the same organization that hold the annual Comic-Con in San Diego and because of its similar format—sprawling exhibit floor, numerous educational panels, exciting Hollywood appearances, and an extraordinary slate of special guests—some fans are calling the new version of WonderCon "Anaheim Comic-Con."
"We are hoping Southern California fans will embrace WonderCon for 2012," said David Glanzer, director of marketing and public relations for parent company Comic-Con International. "And by all indications that may be the case, as online registration opened only a few days ago to an unprecedented start!" Badges for the popular convention went on sale last week and are available for purchase at http://www.comic-con.org/wc/
About WonderCon:
WonderCon, one of the country's best comics and popular arts conventions, is part of Comic-Con International (CCI), a nonprofit educational organization dedicated to creating awareness of, and appreciation for, comics and related popular art forms. The organization achieves its mission primarily through the presentation of conventions and events that celebrate the historic and ongoing contribution of comics to art and culture. In addition to WonderCon in Anaheim this spring, CCI organizes San Diego Comic-Con each summer (the world's largest comics convention of its kind) and San Francisco's Alternative Press Expo (APE) each fall.

# China gold # gold rust # China National Gold Group
A gold bar sold by China's state-controlled China National Gold Group showed signs of rust.
BEIJING(BullionStreet): A gold bar sold by China's state-controlled China National Gold Group showed signs of rusting, reports Beijing Times.
According to the tabloid, In October 2010, a man identified only by his surname, Shen, purchased what he believed to be pure gold product manufactured by China National Gold from a Beijing department store for 14,900 yuan ($2,400).
The bar was stored in a bank safe until Dec. 18, when Shen noticed that it had developed red spots and what appeared to be rust corrosion on the base. As the most non-reactive of all metals, gold should never rust unless it has been mixed with other metals or has been contaminated with additives.
On Dec. 24, Shen took the gold back to the store and was offered a refund once staff verified that it was the same item he originally purchased.
Shen refused, saying that all he wanted was an explanation. A spokesperson for China National Gold said the bar sold to Shen did not have any problems when sold and that further tests will have to be conducted to determine if the issue lies with the product itself or the manner in which it was stored.
Sources said that following discussions, China National Gold offered Shen three options: have the gold examined by a domestic specialist, sell the gold back to the company or have it exchanged for another product.
Shen said he is concerned about the country's gold testing standards and intends to have the product examined both in the mainland and in Hong Kong or in a foreign country.
China National Gold has said it respects Shen's decision and that as long as a legally recognized report indicates that their product is problematic the company will fully compensate him in accordance with the law.
