After hours of debugging, it appears to me that in FireFox, the innerHTML of a DOM reflects what is actually in the markup, but in IE, the innerHTML reflects what's in the markup PLUS any changes made by the user or dynamically (i.e. via Javascript). Has anyone else found this to be true? Any interesting work-arounds to ensure both beha...

My application is using Dojo 1.1.1 on an SSL-only website. It is currently taking advantage of dijit.ProgressBar and a dijit.form.DateTextBox.

Anyone have any suggestions? Thanks, ...

I am trying to create a rather simple effect on a set of images. When an image doesn't have the mouse over it, I'd like it to have a simple, gray border. When it does have an image over it, I'd like it to have a different, "selected", border. The following CSS works great in Firefox: .myImage a img { border: 1px solid grey; p...

This results in the control instance's destructor not being called. The control is written in C++, uses ATL and it's compiled using Visual Studio 2005. The control i...
