There are still several sites that require IE based browsers though Phoon, there's an extension called "User Agent Switcher" that you might want to try. Most of those IE only sites are that way because the developers were lazy. However, if you use user agent switcher and set your user agent to IE6 and

This is ironic, I read a post the other day that Brad made back in 2003 on his JoeUser site and I was going to post something here about how I thought his position was dead on and that I wished other publishers thought about DRM the same way.. Reading the posts on /. is pretty impressive, for that many of the /.ers to come out in support of a company like SD really says something about the products and services offered.. I for one am very happy with my

how about cache the selection in a variable when the user selects some text and use that variable for the quoting? Actually I made a workaround that does something similar but it uses a hidden form element to hold the selection and is triggered by an OnMouseOver on a button. This works is a simple ca

Well, after doing a little digging around there seems to be a bug in the 1.5 release of FF that cause some events to fire in the wrong order. Specifically OnBlur and OnFocus, now I'm not sure this is exactly what is going on but the problem seems to be that in FF when you click on the Quote button, the page selection is lost, so by the time the js function gets around to calling document.getSelection() there is no longer a selection and it returns a bl

After reading the link in #8, I have made the decision to retire Avant and Maxthon and thus convert to Firefox. You won't regret it Phoon and if you need some ideas for good extensions I'm sure folks can help out. Honestly, the extensions make FF so much more than just another browser.. Hope you like

If I'm not mistaken WB does NOT work on 64-bit XP. The WB page on SD says windows XP and Vista (when available), seeing as it says nothing about 64-bit I would assume that means it does not support it just yet.

What we will have there is competition that will surely drive both browsers onto better things I sure hope you're right.. I also hope that MS has given up on proprietary non-standard extensions to things people use every day.

I agree completely with WebGizmos, however I can tell you that writing code for IE absolutely *SUCKS*!! It's implementation of DOM is piss poor and completely inconsistent. I really hope MS wakes up and makes 7.0 a browser worth using because 6.x is pathetic!! I'm not saying that Firefox is perfect but it is definitely more predictable when creating pages that use lots of DHTML to manipulate the page content using DOM methods.

How much web development experience do you have in house at your company? Creating and submitting forms using php is really quite easy. What are you wanting to do with the data from the forms once it's submitted? Do you have an intranet site already? If so, what type of server are you running, IIS, Apache? Using php is easy if you have someone that knows HTML and can pickup a few php commands that allow you to submit the form and then process the data

it uses about 97% of CPU Are you sure that is the DX engine using that much CPU or do you have a widget that is misbehaving? Try unloading all of your widgets then see what the actual engine uses. Then add your widgets back one at a time until you see what is causing the spike in CPU usage.

What's wrong with the price I'm personally fine with $44, if that's the price. My problem is that the GalCiv site lists the downloadable version for $44 and EB Games lists the pre-order for $39. Yes, not much of a difference but why is the download that comes with nothing cost less than the store vers

Well, there aren't a lot of Linux styles made for WB mainly because they are rather boring, but if you have access to skin studio you can download one of the millions of XP styles made that look like many of the different linux styles.

WTF?!?! Why is pre-ordering it online more than pre-ordering it from EB Games? That makes absolutely *NO* sense. So, you save the cost of the media, you save the cost of a printer manual and a jewel case and a box and the shelf space in a brick and mortar store yet it still costs more? Are you telling me that the bandwidth to provide the file costs more than all of the afore mentioned items? On an entirely unrelated topic, after reading the

One has to wonder if that is because they themselves didn't really know why someone would spend money to change the way their windows look.
