In LAX now and I have a blister on the back of my right foot from walking through the airport in new shoes. Note to oneself, never ever walk long distances in new shoes without breaking them in first!

Well I’m off to Boston on the red-eye and I can’t wait to get there and get started!! I’m in the commuter terminal at San Diego waiting very impatiently to get on the plane to Los Angeles!
Two Conferences in the Same Week!
I’m so excited, I almost can’t stand it! On September 28th, I head out to Boston, MA for The Ajax Experience. I’ve been wanting to attend some of the big name web development conferences and thanks to Nokia, I’m finally getting my chance!! Three whole days of pure Ajax bliss in Boston, a city I’ve never been to visit before. Continue reading
Internet Exploder, Part 2….
So this morning I set out to figure out what was going on with viewing this updated website in any Internet Explorer browser. I create a test case, removed a script and some comments and checked it out in IE 7. Well fancy that, it looks like it should. Hmmm okay. So I go back in and start backing out my deletions, the first one being the comments. What?! It’s messed up again!
Long story short, IE does not like where I put my comments initially. I literally moved the comments down one line and now IE 6, IE 7 and IE 8 are happy. The earlier versions of IE (4.01, 5.01 and 5.5) are still off-kilter, but those bugs are well-known bugs with IE and I can fix those at a later date.
Now I can safely say that the site can be viewed in all browsers across Unix, Windows and Macs except earlier versions of IE!
Internet Exploder….
Well…..I happened to load the new website on Jonathan’s computer in IE 7.0 and it looks horrible! For those non-versed in web development, IE is known to be the worst when it comes to following browser standards. What this means is that you using have to put “hacks” in your CSS (cascading style sheets) to get your website to display properly.
So for those of you (which is probably most) that use IE 7.0, I would suggest you download Firefox (http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/) or Opera (http://www.opera.com/download/) for now (or permanently). Meanwhile, I’ll work on fixing the code so that this displays properly in IE 7.0!
