IE7.js Beta 3

Shane — Sun, 26 Oct 2008 15:19:19 +0000

I somehow failed to notice that Dean Edwards’ IE7.js was bumped to beta 3 back in February. IE7.js is a javascript library which, when included in your web page, makes MSIE 5-6 behave like MSIE7. I found it to be extremely useful, particularly when dealing with png images.

I’m looking for a change log to find out what has changed from the original beta version to the beta 3 version. Does this exist?

Javascript Fitness

Since January I’ve struggled with the drive to eat healthier and exercise. My wife and I took up tennis lessons in April, and it was immediately apparent that the running required to survive a lesson was almost beyond me. A good friend recommended the Couch-to-5K Running Plan. I thought this was a good plan, but was disappointed with the lack of any easy way to track my progress. With this need in mind, I recreated the plan and with the addition of some basic progress tracking.

The idea is simple; each step of the plan has a check box. As you complete a step, you check the box. A cookie is saved in your browser…the next time you open the page it remembers what you’ve already checked…no database required! Take a look at the demo.

If you like it, help yourself. Feel free to download it, modify it, borrow it, or whatever. All the code is visible via view source. Here’s a zipped version, if you’d rather download it.

AjaxLessons.com is Back

Apparently there was a malicious DoS attack on AjaxLessons.com yesterday…but they are back online…and the contest continues. Also, apparently Andrew did answer my question regarding returning my referral stats to the contest page. I missed it because the site was down…but now I see that he did in fact answer me two days ago, *embarrassed*. He has stated that I am still in the contest…and he will return my stats to the page ASAP. I have no idea where I stand in the contest now…after being off the board for almost a week…but I’m very excited about being back in it! [AjaxLessons.com Contest Page]
