I'm trying to remove the blue "halo" outline that form elements have in Firefox on OS X. Using CSS, I can remove the halo in Safari on OS X, via: input { outline: none; } But this seems to have no effect in Firefox, nor does the -moz-outline property. ...

I'm having trouble finding documentation about how exactly to go about "turning on" mysqli. I'm running OS X SL and, as I understand it, since php5 is installed, the mysqli extension should already be there as well. Is this as simple as adding a LoadModule line to php.ini? If I need to re-compile php, does anyone know of a good link...

Hi all, I'm seeing some "interesting" behavior in my program's link-local IPv6 multicast routines. It seems that if I set any of the upper 16 bits of the 112-bit Group ID field, then MacOS/X will no longer accept those multicast packets. My question is, is this a bug in the MacOS/X network stack, or is there some reason why setting th...
If I ALT+RIGHTCLICK on the Finder icon, I get a "Relaunch" option in the context menu. I would like to programmatically relaunch finder, if at all possible. I'm sure there is a better way to do it than to just kill it and let it restart. Assume I have the proper authorization / permissions to do so already. Additionally, I would like...

I am doing a clean install of OS X Snow Leopard and I was wondering what people think should go into the ideal web developer environment? Can I get a good rundown of things you would do when setting up a clean system? My main focus is HTML, CSS, PHP, and Actionscript work. But I would also like to dabble in other languages and framewo...
Dear All! I am working on an Applescript, which does nothing fancy but asking Skype how many contacts are online... However, when the script was executed several times, while Skype was not running, and finally is running, then Skype opens uncountable dialog windows with a Skype API Security Request, asking whether or not to allow the Ap...
Hey! I am working on an applescript, that is supposed to ask Skype over and over again, how many contacts are online etc... The problem I stumbled upon is the following: in case the script was triggered several times, while Skype was not running and later when Skype is executed, then Skype asks very often (up to 100 times) whether or on...

Where I'm having an issue, is I have a list of links that are generated from a database, when I click one, I make a "load" call and add the results to my osx-modal-content div. How do I call the osx plugin after my load completes? If I add class=osx to my a href, the moda...
