Monday, May 27, 2002It looks like IE is advertising what updates/patches are installed, e.g. Mozilla/4.0+(compatible;+MSIE+6.0;+Windows+NT+5.0;+Q312461;+.NET+CLR+1.0.3705), I'm guessing that the presense of the Q312461 part means that the patch detailed in this KB article is installed. Seems like a great way to enable some targetted attacks, any requests to a server from IE without Q312461 in the user agent string is vunerable... [Via Simon Fell] #
O'Reilly Network: JavaScript ported to Mac OS X
[Via Roland Tanglao's Weblog] #
Most Mac Hackers are well aware of AppleScript. What most are not aware of is that AppleScript is merely one implementation of Apple's Mac OS Open Scripting Architecture, or OSA. Mac OS comes pre-installed with AppleScript, but there is at least one other OSA language available: JavaScript.

Time for a humble browser
The document object model (DOM) used by Mozilla and Internet Explorer are different enough that any serious DHTML coding needs to be written twice for every project. And Opera, being rigorously standards-based, won't render dynamic layers, which other browsers have done elegantly for years. Making code cross-browser compliant is currently left in the hands of the DHTML programmer. But what happens if we design a browser which can handle both DOMs? Put cross-browser compliance into the browser.

Supporting Multiple-Location Users
By contrast, in 1998, only 20% of Internet users accessed the Net from more than one location. In only three years, Internet use has changed from being overwhelmingly a single-location activity to being a multiple-location activity for almost half of all users. Pensez-y lors du design conceptuel de votre prochaine site/application internet...

The Flangy News - Creating Browser Bars
IE/Windows has a feature called the "Search Pane" or "Explorer Bar", depending on version. Mozilla (all platforms, but not all projects that use the Gecko rendering engine) has a feature called "Sidebars". Both of these features work the same way. They create a new pane in the browser (by default on the left) with a new HTML window. This window can be referenced by the main window, and the main window can reference into the new pane (kind of.) La zone de contrôle (relatif) s'élargit, encore plus avec XUL sous Mozilla et les Toolsbars de IE... la seule chose qui empêche le vrai développement d'une écologie de logiciels "browser based" c'est que les standards ne sont pas respectés ou inexsitant (pour les toolbars par exemple)...
