One of my client colleagues, John Viszmeg, just found an interesting bug in IE7. It was manifesting in dojo.provide, but it’s not really a Dojo bug, it’s at the browser level and dojo.provide just does a great job in demo’ing it.
It’s a weird one, so I’ll keep the intro brief. Basically you […]
Finally got impacted by a bug that was a large discussion topic on the Dojo forum, funny enough when the bug reared it’s ugly head I didn’t even think of the Gecko bug, as I’d assumed it was fixed in Dojo, weirdly enough it actually is fixed, it’s just not fixed by default.
The issue arises […]
This morning at 3am Alex tagged the Dojo 1.0 release. This is the culmination of 3+ years of effort for the Dojo Foundation members, the contributors and the general Dojo user base who have helped the Toolkit become what I would consider the premier JavaScript toolkit for soup-to-nuts development. I say soup-to-nuts, because […]
Jim Barraud just showed me something that’s really rather cool that he found after reading a Zeldman post. The Apple Store is now using Dojo as their main JS toolkit.
This is awesome news for the toolkit on so many levels.
Justification for them
It’s an additional reason that I can give to non technical folks when […]
After an excellent idea from AW posted as a comment against the original thread detailing IE6’s inability to remove Form Nodes from the DOM, and a subsequent suggested tweak from Tony Issakov (TI) (AW email me a URL and I’ll link back to you if you want) we were well on our way to having […]
Technology is like a Koi Carp it grows to fill the space that it’s given.
Now that broadband has become the standard for a large part of the market, web development is using as much of that bandwidth as possible for richer and more immersion user experiences. It means these days we’re facing the same […]
Now that the dust has settled somewhat at work from some recent project launches, I finally had a chance to sit down and start my first widget port from 0.4.x code base to 0.9.
Some might think that I’m way behind the curve what with 0.9 being released for ohhhh 2 or 3 whole weeks, but […]
For my iPhone inspection I needed to find a way to parse through the objects and dump out all the data into a string that I could pass back via IO to the server where I could save it (this was to save me only having access to the iPhone client side dump on the […]
It appears that you can actually scroll content other than with the pseudo scrollbars and using drag and drop style viewport scrolling. I was reading on a google group that if you set a block to overflow:auto (or scroll) you can actually do a 2 finger scroll to scroll just to content.
Well armed with […]
Using some JS and the dojo debug and IO functions, I’ve been able to compile lists of the objects for ‘this’. Showing all the available root level JS objects and functions.
