Internet Explorer Hacks and Tips

Odd Toolbar Behavior

Did you ever get your Toolbars in IE set just right only to reboot and you lose your settings? Many times when Toolbars are added or removed the Registry entry that controls these settings does not get updated or has become corrupt. You can download a small reg file to reset (to default) and correct this behavior.

• Download: ResetBrowserToolbar .reg [right-click and select: "Save Target As"
  To use: right-click and select: Merge - Ok the prompt and reboot.

Missing Status Bar

The above reg file will correct this behavior, if your status bar disappears when opening a new IE browser window. However make sure that option is selected - right-click the top Toolbar and select: Status Bar. If you are still having problems verify the below Registry entries exist and are correct:

[HKEY_CURRENT_ USER\Software\ Microsoft\ Internet Explorer\Main]
“Show_StatusBar”=”yes”
“Show_URLinStatusBar”=”yes”

CrossBrowser Issues

The best way to eliminate the cross browser issue is to detect the Browser and to make our CSS act acccordingly. There are so many ways to handle different Browsers. We have

• Inline Branching
• Page Branching
• Custom Objects

First we will have a look at the Inline and Page Branching.

Inline Branching

Using an if() statement or some other
control structure to check the browser and then performing the action based on the browser is called Inline Branching.
For eg, the getElementById() method is a good way to test
whether a browser supports the W3C DOM.

if (!document.getElementById) {

 return

}The rest of the code

if the browser returns undefined from
document.getElementById, then the script exits without moving on to the
rest of the code, which would likely generate errors or possibly even cause the
browser to crash. This is the most drastic scenario, but it’s necessary in
this case because the code is pure W3C DOM, so there’s no way to create the
equivalent in another object model.

If the result returns true then we should perform certain action, if false then the other

if (browser x) { 

 Code that's specific to browser x

}

else if (browser y) {  

Code that's specific to browser y

}

else {

  Code for all other browsers

} 

CSS Tricks and Tips

Today is CSS Naked Day, so I would like to share some CSS tips and tricks which I have learnt. First I would like to share about CSS Padding.

Cross Browser Padding:
This is one issue where most of the developers get struck.
In the CSS box model, “padding” is the distance from a box edge to its inner stuff, whereas “margin” is the distance to stuff outside the box.Now, when you give something a specific width, say “200px” (200 pixels), and you add a padding of “10px”, this means that the box has a width of 220 pixels (200 + 10 at the left side and + 10 at the right side). Probably not the most intuitive, and the programmers of older versions of Internet Explorers got it wrong and will not add the padding to the overall box size (so in IE5, the width is 200 pixels, even if there’s a 10 pixel padding).
There are so many tricks for this issue,one such is

.navigation
{
padding-left: 5px;
padding-right: 5px;
}

.navigation
{
width: 200px;
}

.navi\gation
{
width: 220px;
}

GWT : Google Web Toolkit : AJAX framework based on JAVA

I think it is high time for me start writing about GWT, since I have been working in it for the past 3 months.

What is GWT?
Google Web Toolkit (GWT) is an open source Java software development framework that makes writing AJAX application.

What GWT does?
Are you allergic towards javascript and still you want to create AJAX apps? Then this is the right path you should take. GWT is a framework which allows you to write applications in normal Java language and it will take care of the rest.

AJAX without JavaScript: How is that possible?
No AJAX app can exist without JS, what GWT does is it will convert Java which we code into Javascript. GWT lets you avoid many of these headaches while offering your users
the same dynamic, standards-compliant experience. You write your front
end in the Java programming language, and the GWT compiler converts your Java classes to browser-compliant JavaScript and HTML.

WEB 2.0 : Technically yours

For quite a time, i have been on blogging both social and technical stuff in a same Blog, I always wanted to start a technical blog. I reserved this name long back.

Why about WEB 2.0 ?
I concentrate more on this, it is not that, this blog wont have anyother articles, it will have, but as WEB 2.0 is my passion, i wil concentrate more on this. The key areas of focus will be AJAX, CSS, JSON, OOJS, UI and OpenSource including Frameworks. Hope this step works out.
