I’m getting to spend some quality time in Fort St. John, BC, only three hours from today’s starting point in Manning, AB. It wasn’t unexpected, having spent a lot of time simulating scheduled and unscheduled maintenance procedures. The stuff that had to be looked at was more or less due, especially after 5,000 miles in eight days. The towns in this part of Canada are small, and parts need to be overnighted.
This was a great opportunity to do laundry, get a haircut, see a movie, and learn how to debug some Javascript on an iPhone, while connected to a Mac via USB. I haven’t been testing the animations I’ve been doing on my phone and apparently they’ve been broken since July 5th. The problem appears to be with supplying default values for function parameters, which I introduced around that time. This seems to work fine on Firefox and Chrome on the PC, and with Safari on the Mac, but not with Explorer or Edge on the PC or with Safari on iOS. I haven’t tested this on Android. This behavior matches most of the description provided here.
Hmmmm. It seems pointless to use features that aren’t widely supported, so when I get a chance to do some serious rework I’ll change the code so it handles default or implicit parameters more gracefully. This will represent a reversion to the way I wrote it the first time.
