I'm merely remarking about the reality when it comes to build a project and having these types of concerns when conceptualizing. I'm all in favor with cross-browser compatility but the work that requires mainly for IE (any version) is still a nightmare. (Only 22 % on Acid3 web standards test). Filipe,

I’m not advocating against cross-browser compatibility. I’m merely remarking about the reality when it comes to build a project and having these types of concerns when conceptualizing.

Obviously the appeal you made is necessary and repeated all over the web, maybe we should stop appealing to the designers/developers, instead, let's appeal to the client. Let them know what are web standards and why they should require them at the end of a project! Btw, that's a great job on those pictures! You really should let the world know who's responsible for that master piece :P And to Gonçalo... wtf?! The man is talking about cross-browser compatibility! And he advocates it!!! Not the other way around! (and i think you are trying to say IE6... IE7 is bad, but not that 6 nightmare) Cheers!

Almost every client wants a website at least compatible with IE because unfortunately it's still the predominant browser. That is a scenario everywhere.

]]> Comment on Flash messaging with CodeIgniter by José Mota http://blog.josemota.net/2008/08/19/flash-messaging-with-codeigniter/#comment-76 José Mota Wed, 20 Aug 2008 09:14:53 +0000 http://blog.josemota.net/?p=23#comment-76 @Derek certainly. I built this Flash library because Session Flashdata was being killed on redirect(...), I have tried that. Picture a situation in which you have some kind of permission and you want to say you're not allowed to access some feature and you redirect to the home page for instance. If you waned to add flash data to that, it wouldn't show up because redirecting kills it. With this library redirection is supported. This might be a good situation to explore in the native Flashdata feature of CodeIgniter indeed. @Derek certainly.

Could you elaborate on the differences for me José? Indeed it does sound neat, but from the description it sounds like Session Flashdata which is natively supported.

]]> Comment on The balance of my trip to the USA by Jeanie Chester http://blog.josemota.net/2008/07/26/the-balance-of-my-trip-to-the-usa/#comment-74 Jeanie Chester Mon, 18 Aug 2008 22:31:28 +0000 http://blog.josemota.net/?p=21#comment-74 I'm Tony's mom. He sent this to me so I could read it, found it interesting and at the same time disgruntling. I really felt for you. I went thru the same thing when we moved to Saudi Arabia, I was leaving the next day. Everyone convinced me to give it a chance so I said I'd give it one year, nine years later I moved home for good, husband and son (Tony) in tow. I think you should have given it a little more time, raised hell with the manager about the T.V, bought some room darkening curtains/blinds & eventually looked for another home to live or tried another State. N.Y. is a very hectic place, even for us Americans that have lived in this Country all our lives but have never visited there. My son is full of good advise, a very wise young man, I'm proud of him and glad he could be of some help to you. Take care, Jeanie I’m Tony’s mom.
