Mac IE ternary operator?

Hi all,

I don't actually have a mac with which to test this, but I'm informed
by a colleague that one of my scripts has failed in IE on the Mac;
endless twiddling seems to point to the ternary operator as culprit.

I asked him to check that javascript:aler t(true?"Yes":"N o"); gave an
alert when pasted into the address bar and he's reported that it does
not.
javascript:aler t("someString") ; works quite happily.

Can anyone confirm this bug or help narrow it to a single version? It
seems a fairly large bug to have gone so under-reported, gooooogling
for "mac ie ternary operator" doesn't return anything helpful.

Cheers,

-- Bob Gregory

Gives an alert with "Yes"
javascript:aler t("someString") ; works quite happily.


Gives an alert with "someString "

Tested in IE for Mac 5.2.2 (5010.1)

Hmmm, cheers for the help on this one. I contacted my colleague again
to get a version number and, in his words: "We've recently run the Mac
Software update and it's updated the OS as well as lots of other
stuff. Whatever has happened, it's now bloody working so we may never
know what happened."

So I can't nail this down to a single version of /anything/, but it's
something to keep an eye out for.

Cheers,

Hi Bob

I've just tried it on MSIE 5.2.2 on MacOS 10.2.8 and
"javascript:ale rt(true?"Yes":" No")" works just fine.

Maybe if you posted more of the code segment that is giving the grief?

All the best

As the assert macro should evaluate to a void expression, it should not have an 'if statement' in its definition. Does this necessitate the existence of a ternary conditional operator? Is there a way assert.h can be implemented without using it? Are these decisions related in anyway?

In his paper on Coding Standard found on http://www.idesign.net/idesign/DesktopDefault.aspx Juval Lowy discourages the use of the ternary conditional operator with no specific reason given. I can understand that complicated code would be much less readable using nested operators, but aside from that is there another reason? -- something going on under the hood perhaps which make it inadvisable to use?

Hi all, im just curious if anyone knows..... With .NET 2, VB didnt happen to get a true ternary operator, did it? Stuck away in a corner somewhere? By ternary, i mean something like C's a?b:c syntax. IIf works in most cases, but in some instances you want to use expressions which may fail if they are evaluated when they arent supposed to be, and it would be nice to have a concise way of writing this instead of using a whole If-Then-Else...

hi,,, while ago i was wondering why do some programmers rarely uses the ternary operator. wherein it is less typing indeed. i believe in the classic virtue of Perl which is laziness. well let me show you something first before i go to my delimma. codes as follows using Mrs. If Else: #!perl/bin/perl use strict; print "Are you sure you want to quit ('yes' or any key for 'no'): "; chomp($_ = <STDIN>);

I understand how the ternary operator (question mark - ?) works in an if/else setting, but what does it mean when used as a type? For instance, I'm trying to add a get/set in some existing code, but the return type doesn't match: Rectangle? m_textArea = null; public Rectangle TextArea { set { m_textArea = value; } get { return m_textArea; }

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
