Coding, Browsers and More

Well, lets start with a bit of coding issues and resolutions as of late. Apparently, Gallery2 sees http://www.website.com and  http://website.com as two different websites. So… since it has build in image leeching protection, it will protect the images from being displayed from the non www version of the site unless you specify the non www version as trusted. Of course, I did not just know this was the case and it took 30 minutes to find the setting hiding in the URL Rewrite Plugin settings, but yea… it’s working now.

<div tags suck. A CSS template I was using was written using no table tags, all DIV and P tags. I adapted it to use tables, but to help keep formatting, maintained much of the DIV tags. I ran into an issue where the cell would not display properly (and of course rendered a different wrong in IE and FF) but couldn’t figure out what the issue was.The resolution – screw DIV… Replace with tables and just use the CSS ID in the table tag instead of the DIV. Now, it loads perfectly in all browsers

IE 8 – Sucks… Come on Microsoft… You are still quite short of FireFox 2. You still don’t support half the awesome functions of FF and you never will. IE is a poor ass browser with too many security holes. Why don’t you give up and just concede that Mozilla beats you every time. I am anxious to see what FF 3 brings to the table!
