iCab

Friday, October 3rd, 2008

Today iCab is discounted on mupromo (50%).
Here it is the wikipedia article and here the website of the author.
iCab is a browser for the Mac. It is much more: it is a piece of WWW and Mac history. For a long time it has been the only relatively functional browser for MacOS Classic (after Moz [...]

The Year of the Kludge

Thursday, October 2nd, 2008

Some days ago, I put back on this blog. Today I dedicated about half an hour to the forum we used to run here on akropolix.
This means reading a lot of PHP. More PHP than I like to see in a whole year. I’ve yet to recover.
It’s exciting to see this big PHP applications work [...]

RJS Rails If statement

Wednesday, June 14th, 2006

If you do something like:
page.replace_html ‘non_existent’, ’some text’
you get a Javascript error and sequent lines are not processed. The first idea to solve this problem would be
if page['not_valid']
page.replace_html ‘not_valid’, ’some text’
end
However, you don’t get what you meant. Not at all. This is translated to
$(”not_valid”)
Element.update(”not_valid”, “some text”);
The best way I found do express that meaning is
page.select(’not_valid’).each [...]

Office? Ajax

Saturday, March 25th, 2006

Linspire batte Google nella corsa all’Office su web.

Inoltre non è ben chiara la licenza del prodotto (al momento). Alla domanda “Come lo scarico” viene spiegato come usarlo online [ questo ha senso visto che [...]

Opera 9 (preview)

Thursday, February 23rd, 2006

La prima cosa che salta all’occhio è la nuova interfaccia. Più browser e meno “pacchetto integrato”. Di default ci viene mostrato solo il minimo indispensabile come si vede nello screen

Le classiche toolbar sono comunque tutte accessibili attraverso il solito Menu.
La prima cosa che faremo sarà caricare una pagina. Qui rimarremo sorpresi. La velocità è impressionante [...]

Inner float…. (CSS)

Thursday, February 23rd, 2006

I feel so stupid. I never thought there was a simple solution like this. I have to find out “why” it works. It is probably written somewhere here. It’s late night I’m not going to do it now.
I read the answer in this page (and it is here I got the previous link). Thanks to [...]
