Internet Explorer 8 (IE8) Auto Resizing Bug
A day wouldn't be complete with a bug. I am using jquery to slide down content like an accordian. The containing div resizes automatically when the content inside resizes. This all works great until you get to Internet Explorer 8 (IE8), the containing div automatically gets larger, but doesn't decrease when the content decreases. Works in IE7, but not IE8 (scratching my head).
Firefox Ajax Bug
Ran into an annoying little firefox bug just yesterday. It seems firefox doesn't pass on headers to subsequent ajax requests if there is a redirect. The header being important as it tells the server that it is an ajax request. To compound the issue, the redirect is handled natively by the brower and there is no way to intercept this to change the behaviour.
Open Source, dispelling the myths
Open source technologies are wide spread throughout the tech world, many top 500 companies have based their business around them. Most web servers (63.9% according to survey by W3Techs, in August 2011) use linux, which is an open source operating system. This is also used by companies like Google and Facebook to run their world leading infrastructures. Most of Facebook’s technologies are based around open source, from linux servers, to PHP and MySQL, and more advanced performance technologies like Memcache and Cassandra. Apple’s operating system Mac OS X was originally based off the open source FreeBSD, NetBSD and Unix operating systems. These same underlying technologies are used in their mobile operating system found in iPhone and iPads.
