Whilst trying to get our app working in Firefox (I'm a big proponent of X-Browser support but our lead dev is resisting me saying IE is good enough). So I'm doing a little side project to see how much work it is to convert. I've hit a problem straight away. The main.aspx page binds to a webservice using the IE only method of adding beh...

Observe the following table in a gecko-based browser (FF, for example): (you'll have to copy and paste this into a new file) <style> table.example{ border-collapse:collapse; } table.example td { border:1px ...
Is there a way to customize Firebug's keyboard shortcuts? I love being able to step through javascript code using the Firebug console, but it looks like I'm limited to either using the default keyboard shortcuts for stepping over/into/out of code or using the mouse to click the appropriate button. Am I missing something? Is there ...

To do this, I tell the user's...
