Getting a button element’s value attribute (not innerHTML) in IE

After spending a small part of my evening debugging Javascript in IE (which is ALWAYS a pleasure), I found out one of my errors was a mistake I had made before… trying to access button.value in IE.  IE, of course, being IE, returns the innerHTML value of the button, instead of the value attribute.  Last […]

Big release day on the webbernet

So I guess it’s simply the time of year. Many big releases today… software, APIs, and more! First, the biggest. IE8 has been released in initial beta. The release was also included a general overview of IE8’s new features and fixes. It’s actually quite a lot of information to absorb all at once. I’ve skimmed […]

Microsoft takes giant PR step with IE8 default behavior

Seriously, thank you Microsoft.  Here’s to the continued spreading of good will.

The IE8 doctype meta waiting game

The first time I played Yahtzee was… only about a month ago. I won 3 of my first 4 games. It was a fun game. I wonder how that game would be if I played against… oh, let’s say… Microsoft. Probably… not so much. Jeremy Keith, my favorite famous-web-developer-that-I-watch-from-afar-via-his-blog (sorry, didn’t have a better term […]

IE8, Doctype and potentially broken default behavior

I woke up this morning and read the A List Apart articles (that I defered reading until this a.m.).  The powers that be have decided that IE will now use a metatag to decide what rendering type (ie6, ie7, ie9, etc.) to use.  This allows for backwards compatibility.  Supposedly. First, I don’t really care about the meta.  It’s fine… it is just one more trick to add to the pile. […]

Microsoft claims IE8 passes Acid2?

Microsoft is claiming that a working version of IE8 is showing the smiley, and has passed the Acid2 test. Even if Microsoft is lying, this means that at the very least, someone there is using a browser that can pass! [that, or they stole the screenshot from some place!]
