Why all this > horrible, horrible chicanery when a couple of IE css expressions > should do the trick? As I stated in the first post, throwing in IE7 is a stop-gap measure for today so I could share the URL. The IE7 script actually enables IE to accomplish a plethora of css-realted tasks that better browsers take for granted. You're absolutely right in saying that some expressions would do the trick, that may be the solution I run with, but I've still got an 8 hour day to get through before I can take another look :( For the record, the original script I (attempted) to use last night works fine on my Win2k system at work, which is where I tested it yesterday afternoon. It also works locally on my XPsp2 system at home, but doesn't run (or throw an error) when viewing the online version on an XPsp2 system... Why all the horrible chicanery? 5 hours sleep in 3 days can make a man do strange things to get the job done. ;) I'll post to my blog by the end of the week explaining what went wrong. In the meantime -- Andrew.doofus ++; Hang on, actionscript isn't a standard!

Re: [WSG] Follow up from Brisbane meeting
Ok, firstly I'd like to say that I'm sure I speak for all involved in thanking Andrew for his presentation, which I think went quite well, despite IE's best efforts ;-) Secondly - I consider myself fairly well versed in the voodoo that is javascript, but what in the flamin hell is that IE7 script? I got halfway down the thing adding spacing and indentation in the hope it would become readable, but all I got is... WTF?. Why all this horrible, horrible chicanery when a couple of IE css expressions should do the trick?

[WSG] Follow up from Brisbane meeting
Well, that was interesting... It would seem after spending most of the time discussing how to get around IE's bugs, IE got its revenge by failing to load an integral part of the design. To those who attended: the problem is solved now, I've removed the old min-max script and put in Dean Edward's IE7. This is a stop gap measure until I can further investigate this afternoon. Locally, it works perfectly. Online however, the min-max script doesn't load. Bah humbug! :) Here is the url to the slideshow: http://leftjustified.net/site-in-an-hour/ ...and the demo site: http://leftjustified.net/site-in-an-hour/site/ The CSS file and form.js are heavily commented, but feel free to ask questions. Now that I'm not standing in front of everyone I may be able to answer without getting thrown off by nerves! Lea will most probably expand on this in a more formal sense, but I'd like to take this opportunity to thank Gary Menzel for providing us with such a fantastic venue for the last 8-10 months. Thanks Gary! :D I know a few people are waiting on other urls that were mentioned during the night -- it was a late night and a VERY early morning for me, so please refresh my memory if there's anything in particular you'd like clarification on.
