Avoiding IE Script Leaks Just came across this post on MSDN weblogs which points to this MSDN article which identifies the common patterns that scripters leverage that can cause leaks within web applications for users browsing with IE (any browser that uses MSHTML really). The gist of the problem is that both JScript, Microsoft’s ECMAScript implementation, and MSHTML, the […] Share this:FacebookTwitterLinkedInMoreRedditWhatsAppSkypeEmail
f(m): A Client JavaScript Library That Mimics .NET BCL I came across the f(m) project via the Ajaxian Blog. It’s pretty neat to see someone undertaking this. I realize there’s lots of little scripting frameworks out there, but AFAIK no one has taken the same angle to model it after the .NET BCL. One of the coolest libraries f(m) offers is one that mimics System.Threading. For […] Share this:FacebookTwitterLinkedInMoreRedditWhatsAppSkypeEmail
IE7 To Have Tabbed Browsing Yes, it’s official, IE7 has tabbed browsing. Personally I hate tabbed browsing. I like finding my windows via the task bar and am a very strict about my window management in general. That said, I realize I must be in the minority, so I hope the rest of the world is now happy and will […] Share this:FacebookTwitterLinkedInMoreRedditWhatsAppSkypeEmail

Basically the problem was that we’re taking user input in an HTML page which can include Unicode characters and need to pass that on the query string to an […] Share this:FacebookTwitterLinkedInMoreRedditWhatsAppSkypeEmail
My Thoughts on AJAX I’ve been sitting on a lot of thoughts about this whole AJAX phenomena that is sweeping the industry lately. Tons of people have thrown their two cents in already and I’ve been meaning to post my thoughts, so here goes. 🙂 First off, let me beat the horse one more time and say: AJAX is […] Share this:FacebookTwitterLinkedInMoreRedditWhatsAppSkypeEmail
Mozilla/FireFox Not Written By Magical Software Elves After All Now, I loooove Mozilla/FireFox and am so happy that there’s such a great alternative to IE (especially since it’s available on other platforms) so this isn’t a knock on the technology. It’s targeted at the people who like to pretend that the Mozilla/FireFox codebase is somehow blessed by the software gods to be completely free of flaws/vulnerabilities. The realists in this industry […] Share this:FacebookTwitterLinkedInMoreRedditWhatsAppSkypeEmail
JScript[.NET] Support for E4X? This post goes out to whoever in Microsoft might be able to shed some light on the subject: When, if at all, can we expect to see support for E4X in JScript[.NET]? My main reason for asking is because Mozilla recently added support for it to their ECMAScript implementation and I can already see the same […] Share this:FacebookTwitterLinkedInMoreRedditWhatsAppSkypeEmail
Exposing Public Properties From Your ASP.NET Pages Considered Harmful? Betrand Le Roy made a post called “Why you shouldn’t expose public properties from your pages”. For the 99% of the scenarios I agree with him since it would obviously prevent your control from being reused ubiquitously, but there is at least one scenario where I see this as acceptable: when creating a shell environment scenario like […] Share this:FacebookTwitterLinkedInMoreRedditWhatsAppSkypeEmail
ParseChildren(true, “Content”) Fails When Child is a Form Element? I’ve looked around and haven’t seen this described anywhere. It’s a tough bug to come up with a succint search query for though, so maybe I just missed someone else reporting it. In any case here are the details in case anyone else ever runs into this. Basically, if you create a UserControl, decorate it’s code-behind […] Share this:FacebookTwitterLinkedInMoreRedditWhatsAppSkypeEmail
