Submitted by Damien on Wed, 10/27/2010 - 2:39pm

There are occasions when you have problems with Internet Explorer (IE) having problems with Javascript or plugins that at least partially stem from the browser's security level, for example it can cause 's e-commerce module to (a bad thing). For those occasions, here are all of the IE8 security settings listed out in a single table in all their gory detail.

Even better JavaScript debugging in IE & Safari

Firefox has Firebug, the best JavaScript debugger on the face of the planet. The developers came up with a subset of Firebug that works on all web browers, creatively named Firebug Lite and should be an essential part of any web developers toolkit.

Bug in Safari 3 beta: hidden file fields don't get submitted

Submitted by Damien on Thu, 10/25/2007 - 3:00pm

I've just wasted several hours due to what turned out to be a bug in the current Safari 3 beta (on OSX Tiger). If you have a form with some DIVs set to display:none;, any file fields that are in the hidden DIVs do not get submitted along with the rest of the data, whereas text fields are submitted. This inconsistency does not exist in Firefox 2 - it submits all of the available fields. Bad Safari, bad!

IE6 and the min-height CSS attribute

Submitted by Damien on Fri, 08/03/2007 - 7:34pm

There's a really useful attribute in CSS called min-height that lets you set the minimum height an element should be displayed as; this is often used to make two boxes appear the same height even if one has less content than the other. Well, Firefox, Opera and Safari support it but Internet Explorer 6 and older don't.
