Fronteers 2011: Experimental Features

This article discusses some experimental browser features from several talks at Fronteers 2011. Since these are experimental features it doesn't work predictably across all browsers. Try Firefox 10+ or Chrome 17+ to see it the way I intended it to work.

Fronteers 2011: CSS - Part 1

Warning! This article might crash Internet Explorer!

This is the first in - what I hope will be - a series of articles on the useful information I received from visiting the Fronteers 2011 conference in Amsterdam last October. Like my articles of last year's conference, I will not give a talk-by-talk summary, but rather pick out the subjects that interest me most and expand on those subjects, while referring to the original talks to give credits due.

Reviving a laptop

I was "reviving" a laptop for a friend. Just had to run the restore CD's and everything should be done. Of course, it is never that simple...

Vista Hard Disk Activity

When a friend complains their PC is slow, what do you do? Some people I know would advise buying a new PC. Or a Mac. But not me, because as we all know, I am masochistic. After all, I code standard compliant HTML.

On Specs: OS Disk Size

I recently wondered if the required disk space for common operating systems was stagnating. Yes, I must agree that I sometimes wonder about weird stuff.

IE8 Switches To Compatibility View

I've said it before and I'll say it again: This is the life! Struggling for days with some obscure IE bug!

Onchange Is Fired Twice In IE

Ahhh, this is the life: struggling for days with some obscure IE bug.

I have an onchange attribute with a jQuery AJAX call on a HTML dropdown that gives strange errors. But only in IE (8, didn't try it in other versions). When replacing the AJAX call with an alert, like so:

<select onchange="alert('onchange');">...</select>

it becomes clear that the onchange is triggered twice. This was also confirmed in the IE Developer Tools window, but I can't use that to debug further.
