Why Tabbed Interfaces are so Popular

I’ve written about tabbed interfaces in the past, and thankfully BBEdit, Path Finder and Transmit have all implemented tabs since then. Applications like Camino (and Firefox and Safari) and Adium already had tabs, so almost all apps I use now have tabbed interfaces. There is still one big hole in my tabbed arsenal, and I’ve…

Camino 1.0 Released!

Camino, my primary browser since at least March of 20031, has reached 1.0! Congrats to the Camino team. There’s a bunch of good press out there – as well there should be. Firefox is a better browser for development due to all the great extensions and tools available, but the Camino browsing experience certainly feels…

Setting DIV Height in IE

I implemented resizable panes in FeedLounge this afternoon. Everything went rather smoothly (I’d prototyped it in the San Jose Airport and on the plane last month), until I found one very strange issue in IE. When I resized the vertically separated panes, they would only go in one direction. Moving the bar down worked fine,…

Set focus to an element in an iframe

If you’re trying to set focus to an element in an iframe that has already been loaded, you need to set focus to the iframe first, then to the element. Here is sample code: if (ie) { var myIframe = document.frames[‘my_iframe’]; var myField = document.frames[‘my_iframe’].document.getElementById(‘my_field’); } else { var myIframe = document.getElementById(‘my_iframe’); var myField =…

Must-Have Software

I am very dependent on these wonderful software packages, my kudos to their developers. Mac Software LaunchBar Launch applications, bookmarks, view phone numbers, activate songs in iTunes – all with just a few keystrokes. There have been some LaunchBar clones released recently, but the original is still the best. I’m a registered user. Path Finder…

IE Wrestling

I’ve spent the last several days getting FeedLounge compatible with IE – not my favorite way to spend time. When we made the decision to support Firefox first, it was with the knowledge that the IE and Safari ports would have to happen – but that doesn’t make it any less painful. There were a…

Tiger Installed

I’ve completed what was perhaps the slowest Mac OS upgrade I’ve ever done. The install itself took about an hour, then 35 minutes for it to index my e-mail (when I launched Mail.app) and see that I need to wait another 77 4 hours for Spotlight to index all my files. 🙂 Everything seems to…
