Robert Accettura: A Standards Based Future

Submitted by CMS Report on March 7, 2008 - 10:05am

"I wonder if it’s worth some sort of cross-vendor campaign (Mozilla, Microsoft, Opera, WebKit/Apple) to get users to adopt modern browsers in a much more rapid pace. IE6 is hanging around for much longer than one would like. I suspect IE 8’s adoption won’t be very quick either. Perhaps it’s necessary for it to be combined with a GoPHP5 style campaign where older browsers are unsupported as of an arbitrary date."

Just plain busy

Submitted by Bryan on March 6, 2007 - 7:13am
This is a busy week for me with an all-day software load scheduled this week for my work's operational systems.  Translation...you likely will not see many original posts from me for a few days.  I will however continue to post some links and excerpts  on CMS news items that catch my attention.

The good news, it looks like the layout issues with the Drupal theme I'm using, Zen, are finally being resolved.  The layout issues were with how the theme displayed in Internet Explorer 6.  No one has had time to patch and commit the changes into a new version for the theme but that will come soon.  Personally, I'll be glad when all the IE 6 users upgrade to IE7.  Yes, IE7 has a few issues but at least it is much more compliant to "standards" than IE6.  Either way, with the IE6 layout issues resolved, I can finally start making some real changes to this theme to make it much more my own.   Cheers!

IEBlog: International Mailto URIs in IE7

Submitted by Bryan on February 13, 2007 - 11:57am
"In IE6, mailto URIs containing characters not found in your system codepage may or may not appear in your mail client correctly, depending on the codepage of the document containing the mailto URI. But in IE7, mailto URIs with characters not found in your system codepage are handled in a standards-compliant manner, which will work regardless of the codepage of the document containing the mailto URI."

IE7 update available for Vista while Windows XP users wait

Submitted by Bryan on January 31, 2007 - 5:15pm
Steve Reynolds, Microsoft Internet Explorer Program Manager, announced on the Microsoft Internet Explorer Blog that an update for Internet Explorer 7 is available. The IE7 update "addresses an issue experienced by some users where CPU usage is high when they are navigating a page that contains multiple frames or when multiple frames are navigated simultaneously". If you have experienced any such performance issue, Microsoft is encouraging you to download and install the update.

While a software update is not unusual, I couldn't help but notice the following words from his post (with my own emphasis is in bold).

This update is now available on Windows Update for Windows Vista users and will be made available in February for Windows XP and Windows Server 2003 users. All users can download it now here along with related KB article 928089.

You can't help but wonder how much Microsoft marketing is or isn't involved in this decision. What better reason for a user to update from Windows XP to Windows Vista than the fact that security and performance updates for Windows XP will be arriving behind Microsoft's new favorite son. Sigh...
