IE - why oh why do you taunt me so??

October 18, 2007 – 12:52 pm

I’ve been working on a couple of plugins for the YUI editor to allow insertion of Flash Movies (YouTube and Google Video). It’s all working swimmingly well in Firefox and Safari but in IE - it just would not work. Why? because of IE’s JS engine bastarding implementation of innerHTML and pasteHTML. I know that […]

July 11, 2007 – 3:28 pm

I’ve been going to the gym alot […]

Krugle Firefox search plugin

October 16, 2006 – 10:19 am

I was cursing krugle.com and it’s bastard (yet brilliant) ajax as I could’t write a Firefox search plugin. Then today I saw on their blog that they have the “Krugle Search Environment” which allows you to bookmark searches and thus create a firefox search plugin.

Download KrugleSearchPlugins.zip (846 downloads)
Or install it (versions less than Firefox 2.0)

Graduate c# devleopers x2 wanted

August 31, 2006 – 9:55 pm

As part of Karova’s expansion, we are looking at taking on 2 more graduate developers. If you want to apply, you’ll need at least a 2:1 in a technical degree, knowledge of object oriented programming techniques, XML and XSLT, web standards and CSS. C# would be benifical, as would a good grasp of IIS. If […]

C# XML encoding woes

July 21, 2006 – 1:01 pm

I have a simple XML document fragment with a euro symbol in it:
[code lang=”xml”]
Lorem ipsˆum dolor sit amet,
[/code]
which I want to load into an XML document.
[code lang=”cpp”]
System.Xml.XmlDocument doc=new System.Xml.XmlDocument();
doc.LoadXml(xml);
[/code]
I then output the XML of that doc to see that all is well - alas it is not, It has decided to re-enocde my beautiful numeric […]
