Webworks Application

[ Edited ]

Hi,

 

I tried to implement the BBAS in one Webworks application from me and kind of failed. I know its still in Beta, but just to provide some feedback what it broke when using the Example 1 from the documenation:

 

- in Example 1 in the documentation [1]  you need to provide a height to the div where the ad should appear (nevertheless I couldnt manage to get a ad shown in the div) otherwise you get a white screen.

- The navigation mode "focus" was totally broken and not working anymore

- From time to time the application crashed when I opend and closed the menu with the blackberry key frequently.

 

When I configured some more details then the application was fine (Except that I could see a ad :smileyhappy:

 

	var banner1 = new blackberry.advertising.Banner(XXXXX, "advertisingBanner", {
																"bannerTransitions" : true,
                                                                "mmaSize" : "large",
                                                                "focusBorderColor" : "red",
                                                                "focusBorderWidth" : "1px",
                                                                "refreshRate" : 6000,
                                                               };

 

Sometimes when the application is coming to the foreground then the navigation mode is not working too and I need to restart the application.

 

Example:

                                                                "mmaSize" : "medium",
                                                                "focusBorderColor" : "red",
                                                                "focusBorderWidth" : "1px",
                                                                "refreshRate" : 6000,
                                                               };
	</script>
</body>
</html>

 

Any thoughts why this shouldnt show any banner? Added the necessary lines to the config.xml (nor error reported either). Using a Blackberry 9900 with 7.0.0.585.
