[Laszlo-user] curiosity question about <method> syntax

[Elliot Winard]

I'm looking at code written earlier this year that uses the @method 
attribute on a <method> tag and wonder how the code ever could have worked.

The code looked something like this -
    <view>
        <method event="oninit" method="doSomething" />
        <method name="doSomething">
           // do something here
        </method>
    </view>

It doesn't work in wafflecone because it is invalid syntax for a 
<method> tag.
The fix was easy - replacing the oninit event method with
    <handler name="oninit" method="doSomething" />

So, out of curiousity - when was this syntax valid?  Is there a way to 
go back through old documentation other than downloading and installing 
older builds at [0]?

Thx,
