if I add the datasources="rdf:history" id="NC:HistoryByDate" open="true", to the taks menu, no History data shows up. If I copy and paste the task menu, sot that it is in front of the bookmarks, the data shows up but the bookmark data disappears. The data source is created by the menu but it never appears to get asked for its data. Behaviour occurs on Mac and Linux and I haven't had a chance to test windows yet.

Adding Hyatt to the bug since he mentioned that he might know what is going on.

Taking this one away from Chris. ;)

Fixed.

i added said attributes to the tasks menu so that it looks like: <menu name="&tasksMenu.label;" datasources="rdf:history" id="NC:HistoryByDate" open="true"> there are some screwy things happening that might be related to bug 7848, like the first time you open the menu, the history sub menus appear, but the next time, all the tasks disappear altogether. also, the sub menus are not being created on linux. build used: 1999-06-17-15. does that problem still relate to this bug? (i.e. has this bug regressed?)

You can't use the same id twice in a XUL document. Make sure you aren't doing that.

nope, NC:HistoryByDate only appears once in navigator.xul.

so how should i verify this? (or should i just close my eyes and mark VERIFIED?)

If you are on windows or X, if items are added to the task menu when you open new windows, this bug is fixed.

as of the builds from or near 1999-07-12-08, this works great on redhat52 and winnt4sp4, but the mac doesn't seem to work. i'll give it another day...

Mac will not work until dynamic menus on the mac are implemented. I believe that saari has that bug

fair enough... marking verified. [thanks for the prompt reply!]
