The solution is to either use parseFloat() or to force the use of decimal by passing 10 as the second parameter to parseInt().

( 3 / 64 )Took me a day to work out why my fread() file transfers were failing - at almost exactly half way. It got me thinking - perhaps the output was being compressed. I turned off mod_deflate. Same problem. Then I started looking at the PHP buffer because I was doing something like this:
while(!feof($handle)){
set_time_limit(0);
print(fread($handle,1024*8));
ob_flush();
flush();
}Then I checked the output handler and realised there was some multibyte encoding taking place, which was the key. This has to be turned off for binary data like so:
mb_http_output("pass");Seems strange noone has mentioned this on the PHP site under fread() - so I did.

( 2.9 / 63 )You know when you're entering the final phase of user testing when you need to fine tune style sheets for multiple browsers. This appears to be the final word on getting identical pages in FF, IE6 and IE7 and I thought I'd share it...
#MyDiv {
margin : 10px 10px 10px 10px;
}
/* IE6 Only */
* html #MyDiv {
margin : 5px 5px 5px 5px;
}
/* IE7 Only */
*:first-child+html #MyDiv {
margin : 2px 2px 2px 2px;

( 2.8 / 99 )I have been using the PNG filter trick in IE6 for over a year now, but recently had to remove it from a very GUI intensive project as it was maxing out the CPU on older clients. So I went looking (again) for the prefect solution.
Option 1 - PHP Browser checking
This was very effective - run all image requests through a PHP page using mod_rewrite. Then get the PHP page to do a user agent test and spit out a GIF if the browser is IE < 7 and the image is a PNG. The downside is that every image is being returned via a PHP readfile() which is *very* inefficient.
Alternatively, adjust the mod_rewrite rule to only redirect PNG files, but then you're still using PHP to do what Apache does much better....
Option 2 - mod_rewrite condition
The ultimate... use apache to selectively redirect IE5/6 to GIF files for each PNG file served. Easy. Move the responsibility to the server. And here it is...
RewriteEngine on
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{HTTP_USER_AGENT} MSIE\s(5|6)
RewriteRule ^(.*)png$ $1gif [R]All you have to do is batcg convert your PNG files to GIF files with the same name. You can even put them in a seperate folder if you need to...

( 3 / 55 )It's only a workaround, but it's widely recognised as a bug. So for now you can wrap a try statement around line 2082 like so:
getOffsetParent: function(element) {
try{
if (element.offsetParent) return $(element.offsetParent);
}catch(e){}
if (element == document.body) return $(element);
while ((element = element.parentNode) && element != document.body)
if (Element.getStyle(element, 'position') != 'static')
return $(element);
return $(document.body);

( 2.9 / 54 )The trick to this is turning off the default HTML encoding option in the buffer settings like so:
params = {isEncoded: false};
buffer=new Rico.Buffer.AjaxSQL(url, params);

( 3.1 / 50 )If your LiveGrids stopped working when you upgraded to Prototype 1.6, this is probably the cause:
change 2 lines in
ricoLiveGridAjax.js:
from:
return $H(queryHash);
to:
return queryHash;
from:
Rico.writeDebugMsg('req '+this.requestCount+':'+
this.ajaxOptions.parameters.inspect());
to:
Rico.writeDebugMsg('sending ajax req #'+this.requestCount);
This change is also compatible with older versions of Prototype.

It's been 2 months since I've updated this page... my excuse is an inordinate workload, leading me to hunt for some extra developers. Got a big symfony project lined up for early 2008, so anyone who's experienced with the symfony framework (and Web Services), feel free to drop me a line using the contact page.| [ 0 trackbacks ] | permalink | related link |
( 3 / 50 )Occasionally, IE will fail to run Rico.Corner.round() and other commands issued after the DOM has loaded - even when using:
Event.observe(window, 'load', my_function);
The answer, it seems, is to delay the Rico calls until the Rico.OnLoad event is triggered...
Rico.onLoad( function(){
//my Rioc.Round.corner calls etc
});Just in case you, like me, were wondering why....

This is a great freeware app I stumbled upon today that lets you manage your Windows system environment variables via a GUI. In particular, it's handy for updating your PATH variable - especially if you're a framework developer ;-)
