Hopefully this means that IE will soon support SVG. Or even better, support canvas natively…

Bookmarklet for easy switching between development and production web environments
Monday, November 30th, 2009When I develop websites, I like to set up a development site on my local web server. I usually name it the same as the production site, but with a ‘local’ prefix. So if the production site is acme.com, my development site will be localacme.com.
I wrote a little bookmarklet for easy switching between the two sites. It checks to see if the new url starts with ‘http://local’. If it does, ‘local’ will be deleted from the url, if not, local will be inserted.
Here is the code for the bookmarklet:
javascript:(function(){u=location.href.replace(%22http://www.%22,%22http://%22);a=%22http://local%22;b=%22http://%22;l=(u.indexOf(a)==0)?u.replace(a,b):u=u.replace(b,a);location.href=l;})()

innerHTML on P fails
Wednesday, July 22nd, 2009From http://channel9.msdn.com/Wiki/InternetExplorerProgrammingBugs/
innerHTML on P fails
Using innerHTML to insert new content into a p tag seems to fail consistently in 6.0.2900.2180.xpsp.050301-1521 on XP SP2. I have a repro case located at http://www.blowery.org/test/innerhtmlandp.html for your enjoyment. Just click on the link and you’ll see IE bomb out. I’ve also seen it silently fail, but I’m yet to come up with a repro case for that.
If you use a div instead of a p, innerHTML works as expected.
This behavior is by design
according to http://msdn.microsoft.com/workshop/author/dyncontent/content.asp
“Can’t put invalid HTML in the document: You cannot assign a string to innerHTML or outerHTML that contains invalid HTML. For example, trying to replace the content of the p element with another p will fail. A p element can only contain text and inline elements. However, replacing the entire p element with another p would work just fine.”
In your repro case you insert

. Unfortunately similar mistakes break AJAX updaters on IE. — woid
Objects and JavaScript in IE8
Tuesday, July 21st, 2009Quick observation in IE8. If you have a form element with id=”myId”, myId is available directly through JavaScript as an object.
<input type=”text” id=”myId” value=”some value” />
<script>
alert(myId.value);
</script>
55 E 87 St, New York, NY 10128
Thursday, July 16th, 2009<script type=”text/javascript”><!–
pshark_pop_propkey=25100;
pshark_pop_width=480;
pshark_pop_height=360;
pshark_pop_type=”overview”;
pshark_pop_tabs=”overview,photo,map,listings”;
pshark_pop_title=”55 E 87 St, New York, NY 10128″;
//–></script>
<script type=”text/javascript” src=”http://propertyshark.com/api/pop.js”></script>
The text is supposed to be inline
, but is it really?
And what about this

Using split to get away from using the evil eval()
