I am hating Internet Explorer this morning.
We are rolling out a Hummingbored portal at work, and someone has fucked
up some JavaScript somewhere and I am seeing a IE pop-up informing me
that "problems with this Web page might prevent it from being displayed
properly", and a text-field below that indicates that at line 264, char
9, getAttribute(...) is null or not an object.
Fair enough. So I am wanting to wish to cut'n'paste the exact text into
a ticket to let one of web monkeys figure it out. But do you think I can
do that? no-o-o-o-o. And there is sufficient text in the textarea that
it has both horizontal and vertical scroll bars, so I can't even
decently take a screen shot, short of stitching bitmaps together.
And as far as I can see, there is no other way to recover the message.
So now I have to get someone to come over to my monitor and note the
message, and then see if they can reproduce it themselves.
Hate.
