    All style tags after the first 30 style tags on an HTML page are not applied in Internet Explorer workaround

    Did you know that all style tags after the first 30 style tags on an HTML page are not applied in Internet Explorer? Well this applies to IE7 and LINK elements too and if you have such page for example you are lost: <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd"><html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"><head runat="server"> <title>Untitled Page</title> <link type="text/css" rel="stylesheet" href="StyleSheet.css" /> <link type="text/css" rel="stylesheet" href="StyleSheet.css" /> <link type="text/css" rel="stylesheet" href="StyleSheet.css" /> <link type="text/css" rel="stylesheet" href="StyleSheet.css" /> <link type="text/css" rel="stylesheet" href="StyleSheet.css" /> <link type="text/css" rel="stylesheet" href="StyleSheet.css" /> <link type="text/css"...

    I am writing a book!

    Yes I am! I can finally announce that and I am sooo excited! I have been working with the Apress guys, most importantly Jonathan Hassell, on starting an intermediate-level book on Windows PowerShell (formerly known as Monad). We have finished the book proposal checklist (a huge one, mind you) and it got approved. I am now off to finishing the paperwork related to contracts and other boring stuff and I have already started writing. The book is tentatively titled Ubiquitous Automation with Windows PowerShell. I am an automation freak and I want to help everyone in the world reap the benefits of becoming...

    Register for new WebCast today (really)

    I am happy to announce that I will be doing another WebCast with Joe Stagner at Microsoft this Thursday, May 31st at 9:00 AM PST (Noon EST). After the massive success of our last WebCast (which is still available for download), we arranged to make another appearance in the "Live from Redmond" WebCast series to address a common ASP.NET developer scenario. The WebCast, titled "Do-it-yourself forums", will show you how you can use RadGrid, RadTreeView, RadEditor, and RadAjax "Prometheus" (the version based on ASP.NET AJAX) to build a simple forum application in less than 60 minutes. If fact, here is a brief...

    New Best Practice: Ajaxifying UserControls

    One of the features added to RadAjax "Prometheus" in the recent service pack was a new control called the RadAjaxManagerProxy. This control enables you to easily Ajaxify controls in your UserControls without worrying about adding multiple RadAjaxManagers to a page. Most RadAjax developers would probably say that Ajaxifying UserControls is one of the more difficult aspects of adding Ajax to an ASP.NET application. Even with good documentation, it is difficult to decide whether you should add an AjaxManager to each UserControl or handle all UserControl Ajax settings programmatically from a parent container. The big drawback of the later option (which is usually the...

    Extending Sitefinity's blogging tools (WebCast)

    One of the fun new features of Sitefinity 3.0 is its out of the box support for adding blogs to your website. The Blogs module is one of five included with the first release of Sitefinity 3.0 (the others being Lists, News, Polls, and Generic Content) and it has all of the basic tools you need to quickly start a blog (such as post list and single post view).If you've been using a different blogging platform and you are considering switching to Sitefinity (like I am doing with Telerik Watch), you find there are some blogging tools that don't exist in...

    Did you ever wonder how to get rid of these evil pseudo cells selection / borders in your html tables in FireFox?The solution is:     <table border="1" style="-moz-user-select: none;">        <tr>           <td>Cell</td>           <td>Cell</td>        </tr>      ...however... if you have an INPUT elements inside the cells you will definitely loose the selection inside the INPUT.

    On closing IFRAME tags

    I was debugging some obscure problem the other day. For some reason the __doPostBack JavaScript function was not defined (or “undefined” in JavaScript terms ;) ). It wouldn’t be so suspicious if I was able to view the source of the page and see the declaration of __doPostBack routine. It turned out some iframe break the whole thing. Consider the following html (notice that the iframe is in minimized form): <div>I am before the iframe</div><iframe src="http://www.telerik.com" /><div>I am after the iframe</div> In that case the second div was not rendered at all. IN ALL BROWSERS!!! First I thought it was one of “those” Internet...
