Best web page footer...ever!

This was found by my co-worker. I had to pass it on. Can be seen at www.newtoyork.com

Why does IE suck so #$(*# much!? Great error message!



Now if only I can find line #131,265,925 I'd be able to fix it.

I don't have 131k lines of code on this page! How do you diagnose this? None of the available tools out there work well for IE.

Gawd...IE is going to drive me to give up web programming and become a used car salesman.

Don't know about the AC Transit fight?

Simply Put....

It's a slow day in a little east Texas town. The sun is beating down, and the streets are deserted. Times are tough, everybody is in debt, and everybody lives on credit.

On this particular day a rich tourist from back east is driving through town. He stops at the motel and lays a $100 bill on the desk saying he wants to inspect the rooms upstairs in order to pick one to spend the night.

As soon as the man walks upstairs, the owner grabs the bill and runs next door to pay his debt to the butcher.

The butcher takes the $100 and runs down the street to retire his debt to the pig farmer.

The pig farmer takes the $100 and heads off to pay his bill at the supplier of feed and fuel.

The guy at the Farmer's Co-op takes the $100 and runs to pay his debt to the local prostitute, who has also been facing hard times and has had to offer her "services" on credit.

The hooker rushes to the hotel and pays off her room bill with the hotel owner.

The hotel proprietor then places the $100 back on the counter so the rich traveler will not suspect anything.

At that moment the traveler comes down the stairs, picks up the $100 bill, states that the rooms are not satisfactory, pockets the money, and leaves town.

No one produced anything. No one earned anything.

However, the whole town is now out of debt and now looks to the future with a lot more optimism.

And that, ladies and gentlemen, is how the United States Government is conducting business today.

jquery ajax + xml + IE = hair loss

I've done ajax before with jQuery with good results on all browsers...until

I used an XML return with IE (all IE's that is).

When returning XML from a CFC (or any other server-side script), IE doesn't treat the XML document as, well, XML.

It actually barfs on it unless you tell it to load up the ActiveX control to parse your XML doc. (psst..Thanks Microsoft).

Just look at this:


$.ajax({
type: "POST",
url: "ajaxtest.cfc?method=getallblogs",
data: datastring,
success: function(data) {
var xml;
if ( $.browser.msie ) {
xml = new ActiveXObject("Microsoft.XMLDOM");
xml.async = false;
xml.loadXML(data);
} else {
xml = data;
}
$(xml).find('blog').each(function(){
var id = $(this).attr('id');
var title = $(this).find('name').text();
var url = $(this).find('url').text();
$('<div class="items" id="link_'+id+'"></div>').html('<a href="'+url+'">'+title+'</a>').appendTo('#blogInfo');
});
}
});


See that little blurb in the ajax call for "if ($.browser.msie)"? That's the call you'll need to do to make IE behave like 99% of the other browsers out there.

I've put together a short demo. I know the code is duplicated, but this is for demo purposes. Hope this helps you guys doing XML data returns.

Oh and once again "Thank you Microsoft" for making my web development career such a wild adventure.

XML data return demo

p.s. the data returned is from my blackberry bloggers site. If you're a blackberry fan, check it out (http://www.blackberrybloggers.org). It might look a bit familiar :)

It's 2009 and companies are still using CF 5.0?

Look at this job opening....

Dice Job for CF 5.0

Shocking...

I hope House Of Fusion fixes this somehow...

typical day of a web developer...



The only thing it fails to note is the version # of IE. I'm guessing 6.
