Supress "filter" error in Firefox Error Console?

I currently use the non-standard "filter" method of rendering opacity on my site in addition to the standard way, since IE still doesn't seem to support it and unless I'm mistaken, opacity is part of CSS3 which isn't final anyway.

Any Html control libraries - a visual counterpart to jQuery/Prototype

jQuery provides a browser neutral library for accessing and manipulating the DOM. This is good. However I'm looking for a counterpart for the visual side of things - I need to build pixel measured interfaces, without wasting so much time testing and correcting cross browser issues (buttons having crazy margins in IE, or using the wrong ...

The website is here: http://nordschleife.metaforix.net/118/118/index.php/panasonic.html?id=5&amp;___store=uk&amp;___from_store=default I'd prefer the looks & feel of the table under IE8/Chrome, as the lines are light gray instead of completely black.

mod_rewrite vs symlink: the browser is not fooled.

I have a file foo.bar.1 on my server and when I try to access it from a browser (firefox) I get a popup that says "You have chosen to open foo.bar.1 which is a: 1 file ...

Firefox addon or other tool to locally validate HTML pages

I have a rails project with a lot of duplicate id's (it looks like id's were used like class should have been used), so obviously this is bad.
