So I just made a change password form for my rails app. It's just like any other very typical password change form. So after a few times testing it out I started seeing a popup box saying "Please confirm which user you are changing the password for" Now this really freaked me out a bit since I know I did not write any code to do such ...
I'm doing some work with the new Facebook js library, http://github.com/facebook/connect-js. There's one thing that bugs me, which is that when you are using Firefox and have the option "Open new windows in a new tab instead" enabled, the login popup opens in a new tab and then resizes the entire browser. It doesn't restore to the origin...

Hi all, I'm writing a userscript for a website that uses Prototype. Rather than use the GM libs (mainly so I can easily repurpose it for Chrome), I decided to use the already-loaded Prototype functions. I'm iterating through the rows of a table, each signifying a unique user, by checking for an online status element on their profile pa...
When I include ckeditor aka fckeditor (version 3.0.1 revision 4391), which I downloaded from their site last week, into a page that is SSL encrypted, I get the Firefox broken lock icon and the warning "Warning: contains unauthenticated content". However, IE8 doesn't give this error at all. I checked the headers (Live HTTP headers), and e...

Hi! I am in the process of refreshing my XST knowledge, and have decided to have a go at making an XSLT 1.0 stylesheet that convert the XMLHelp files from the C# compiler into a better formatted form.

I'm not sure if this has anything to do with the recent Safari update, but I'm beginning to notice this a lot. There is a drastic difference in the way each browser is rendering fonts. for instance, I took screenshots of what I am seeing here on stackoverflow... http://twitpic.com/q43eh I have verified that this is a trend via my co-wo...
I recently came across an encoding issue specific to how Firefox encodes URLs directly entered into the address bar. It basically looks like the default Firefox character encoding for URLs is NOT UTF-8, which is the case with most browsers. Additionally, it looks like they are trying to make some intelligent decisions as to what characte...

I have an embedded web server with a self-signed SSL certificate. After I get past the Web Browser's warning about the SSL Certificate being self signed, I am seeing a difference between IE8 and Firefox 3.5.5. In IE8, if I try to download a PNG file, it will download every time. In FireFox, it will give me an error every other time. ...
I'm new to this site, but it seems like someone out there should be able to answer my question. I've recently started using jQuery, and spent the day slamming my head against the desk trying to successfully parse an XML file and append the text to a div. After failing at this in Safari, I switched over to Firefox, and found it working p...

When the user clicks on a link to move to a different page, or submits a form, I want a "please wait" animated GIF to show up in the top right corner to symbolize that loading is in progress.
