With the imminent release of the new IE8 and Firefox 3 browsers, it looks like we'll be in for more fun. Even our beloved Firefox seems to have problems with the desktop demo. I haven't tested it much more than this but I think Jack and the rest of the team will have their hands full for a while.

Here's a link to some of the css 'improvements' made in Firefox 3 that may be causing problems:

Yes, I found a few glitches. Trigger images on ComboBoxes disappear.

Some good DOM improvements.

This is useful:

http://developer.mozilla.org/en/docs/DOM:element.getBoundingClientRect

And the ext adapter will use it if present which will avoid having to walk up the offsetParent axis, and do all kinds of horrible calculations.

http://developer.mozilla.org/en/docs/DOM:document.elementFromPoint is useful too.

http://developer.mozilla.org/en/docs/DOM:document.getElementsByClassName offers a great optimization to DomQuery
