Fire and Defer

[kstubs]

So is it:

document.fire.defer('load:objects_loading');

- or -

document.fire('load:objects_loading').defer();

[kstubs]

More on this:

I keep getting stuck in:

function fire(element, eventName, memo, bubble) {

...

    if (document.createEvent)

      element.dispatchEvent(event);      <<<<< STUCK HERE:  object doesn't support dispatchEvent

    else

      element.fireEvent(event.eventType, event);

[Miguel Beltran R.]

are you using document.fire or Element.fire? because in your other email you said document.fire

Element.fire(element, eventName[, memo[, bubble = true]])

document.fire(eventName[, memo[, bubble = true]])

Try it long-hand:

Element.fire.defer('yourElement','your:event');

I haven't tried it, but that's how delay is invoked. You could also
just do

Element.fire.delay(0,'yourElement','your:event');

which I believe is functionally identical to defer().

OK, with a little confidence, I'll try again.  I am mixing and matching Event and document firing.

Tested each of these... winning combination is to use Event static method in this case.  Bother defer and delay work.  So not sure if I have found a bug or not (IE9, regular and compatible modes) so try these out yourself.  These have never been an issue in FF and Chrome.

                //objectLoadingTimer = 

                //document.fire.defer('load:objects_loading');

                //document.fire.delay(0,'load:objects_loading');

                //document.fire('load:objects_loading');

                //Event.fire(document,'load:objects_loading');

                //Event.fire.defer(document,'load:objects_loading');

                //Event.fire.delay(.01,document,'load:objects_loading');

                

                objectLoadingTimer = Event.fire.delay(.01,document,'load:objects_loading');

                alert(objectLoadingTimer); => 6448

Here is the failure
