For those who hadn’t yet heard, there is an updated version of Internet Explorer 7 available. If you want to run it in standalone mode, Jon Galloway’s IE7 Launcher will do the trick nicely. Lots of information can be found about IE7, specifically improved CSS compliance (hasn’t yet been updated with the current build information, [...]

TinyMCE Issue

by Ryan Parman • March 13, 2006 • Code • No comments

I had a problem with TinyMCE initializing on a new page today. After about 10 seconds of Googling, I had my answer: If you’re using both libraries, TinyMCE needs to be loaded before Scriptaculous. Thought I’d pass this little nugget along from one front-end developer to another. In completely unrelated news, I really need to [...]

document.createTextNode and entities

One problem that I’ve had when working with dynamic DOM nodes is the inability to use entities with document.createTextElement(). I’ve read suggestions about using utf-16/ucs-2 values, but how do you find them and how do you convert them? This led me on a journey to figure out how to handle this. I ended up digging [...]

Maybe I’m a little slow, but I’ve found an awesome little trick for people who use Firefox, and who need to dynamically add elements to the page via JavaScript. I’ve been doing a lot of Ajax development lately for an internal webapp where I need to dynamically add nodes to lists. In my source code, [...]

Okay, some people are seriously retarded

by Ryan Parman • February 3, 2006 • Apple • 4 comments

I just came across a BBC article about man suing over an iPod ‘hearing risk’. OMFG. Are you kidding me? How stupid can some people be? And it’s all a matter of money. Stupid lawsuits brought on by stupid lawyers are really dragging our legal system through the mud, not to mention using up my [...]

In response to Shaun (Jan 31, 2006), I took some time to try to get the new IE7b2 release working. This is the download package that was made available as the Internet Explorer 7.0 Beta 2 Public Preview. This version of IE7 writes a couple of keys to your registry. Don’t try to run the [...]
