Hi! I'm binding on the keydown event with jQuery to allow some specific characters in a textbox. I'm trying to make my code cross browser and platform compliant. My main issue is that I can't find a way to map the received key code to a valid char code, especially for key code coming from the numeric pad (decimal separator, is it a coma...
I am trying to capture a screenshot of two versions of a website (one that's standards complaint and one that is not). I would use broswershots.org, but only one of the websites has a public url.

Hi guys, I have recently inherited testing responsibility on a web application. A lot of our testing is related to specific operating systems and browsers. Does anyone have suggestions on building a test rig? I am not talking about automated testing (that is a separate issue that I'm working on). This is more for confirming specific b...
I have a page that contains an element, <displayedimage>, that is not getting updated using jquery's document.ready/$.getJSON funcitonality in IE 6 and IE 8 (probably IE 7 too even though I haven't tested). This same piece of funcitonality works fine on XP Safari and OS X Safari, OS X Chrome, OS X Opera, etc. So, here's what happens: I ...
Is it possible to prevent IE (7 or 8) to change the underlying code of a page ? My page, built with Dreamweaver, consists of a table with 5 images; each of these is a link to a larger size one. In FF or Chrome, the page displays exactly as planned. In IE, only the first image displays. All other have the "broken img" icon. The code reve...
I am having my first foray into website design and I am learning a lot. I am also now seeing why web developers are not a huge fan of developing for Internet Explorer. Nothing seems to work how I expect. However, since the website has to work cross-browser, I am spending time looking at it in Firefox, Chrome, and IE. Something that i...
I'm struggling with the value of knowledge between JavaScript base functionality and JavaScript libraries. While I understand the underlying concepts used by many of today's popular libraries (JQuery as an example: $.ajax, $.animate, etc), I find that the more I rely upon these libraries, the less and less I actually know about JavaScri...

I just looked at my site (http://softserv.ca) on a laptop and the background images used along the top and top-right looked horrible -- very grainy and striated. It was IE8 on XP. I couldn't check the screen resolution, but it didn't look like anything out of the ordinary. I'd like to know what typically causes such striation, and als...
We have a web application that only supports IE6 and above. It is an old application and majority of the user base was using IE. At the time of development no one paid attention to cross-browser support. If you open the site in Firefox, the UI is all skewed. We are planning to start supporting Firefox now. What is the strategy we should ...
I am writing some bookmarklets for a project that I am currently working on and I was wondering what the best practice for writing a bookmarklet was. I did some looking around and this is what I came up with javascript:void((function() { var%20e=document.createElement('script'); e.setAttribute('type','text/javascript'); e...
I'm trying to extract values from xml using jQuery in a cross-browser compatible fashion. I'm not having any issues doing this in firefox, but unfortunately this also has to be IE compatible. My jQuery code looks like this: $(document).ready(function()) { $.get("file.xml", {}, function(parseRefreshTime){ alert('This line is execu...

You can view the site here: www.vitaminjdesign.com/contact.html I wrote a jquery script that basically loads a success image if the contact fields have an entry, and a fail icon when they are empty. It works perfectly in all browsers, but in IE7, an imag...
