Microsoft is just GREAT!!!!!!!

reasons are as below:

MAGIC #1

nobody can create a FOLDER anywhere on the computer which can be named as "CON". This is something pretty cool...and unbelievable...
TRY IT NOW ,IT WILL NOT CREATE " CON " FOLDER

TRY
CON, AUX, COM1, COM2, COM3, COM4, LPT1, LPT2, LPT3, PRN, NUL......etc


Patch too

Following this method (OOPs i will say PATCH the probational language:) ) U can create every bug folder Easily....

We can do this by following method
STEP1: goto command prompt
STEP2: type in prompt c:\> ((mkdir \\.\c:\con))

DON'T TRY TO DELETE FROM WINDOWS i will release its patch too shortly :)

STEP3: verify by typing ((dir \\.\c:\con))
STEP4: delete the file or folder ((rmdir \\.\c:\con))



TRY

C:\COPY CON CON
DS
DSA
DSA
DSD
AND THEN CTRL Z
THEN IT DISPLAYED THE MESSAGE THAT
1 FILE(S) COPIED

BUT IT WILL NOT VISIBLE ON THAT DRIVE....

is this fixed message "1 FILE(S) COPIED" has to displayed after pressing CTRL Z
then why i am forced to display messages only after proper events!!!
we should follow microsoft



MAGIC #2
For those of you using Windows, do the following:

1.) Open an empty notepad file
2.) Type "Bush hid the facts" (without the quotes)
3.) Save it as whatever you want.
4.) Close it, and re-open it.

is it just a really great logic only they can impliment

MAGIC #3
Microsoft crazy facts

This is something pretty cool and neat.

Try it out yourself...

Open Microsoft Word and type

=rand (200, 99)

And then press ENTER
then see the magic....... ......... ......

Oh... i think this is not another bug but just a test case :)

"Those sweet lads over at the Chocolate Agency have come up with yet another delectable concept dubbed P-Per; a concept mobile phone that would satisfy both environmentalists and tech nerds. The design consists of just 4 layers, a printed circuit board, extruded polycarbonate, recycled titanium, and a wrap around flexible haptic LED touchscreen. By minimizing materials, the design is highly sustainable.

The wrap around screen allows for endless user interface possibilities not to mention bezeless picture/movie taking and watching. If that weren’t enough to challenge the iPhone, how about a 7mm wafer thin form factor, 3 megapixel camera, and a 2 minute recharge time"

That is really cool. I can call it Mobile Phone 3.0

Popfly - Creating Meshups with Silverlight

I tried using popfly to create simple Mashup. I think this is fast.
http://www.popfly.com

Although I'm still trying my head around the Silverlight.

I think this could be going to be an answer to Adobe Flex for creating RIA.
Advice: To grips with new technology is to look under the hood to see how it was done.

MICROSOFT SILVERLIGHT

Silverlight includes a cross platform version of the .NET Framework, and enables a rich .NET development experience within a browser support Firefox, Safari and IE browsers on both the Mac and Windows.big benefit of this technology for end users is that they will not have to download different video player technology to view online media based on what OS they are running....A built-in CLR engine that delivers a super high performance execution environment for the browser. Silverlight uses the same core CLR engine that ships with the full .NET Framework. It delivers the same type-system, garbage collector, and JIT code generation engine that your .NET code uses today. This means that you can write .NET code that can now run in Silverlight, ASP.NET, and a WinForms/WPF Windows application. It also means you can now execute code within the browser that runs faster than interpreted Javascript.The main problem with Flash is that all your classes and objects have to be written twice. You need .NET classes to handle the author time experience and Flash classes to handle the run-time.but that doesn't mean flash is dead..its just silverlight has got the support of comapny that ship operating system 90% of the world uses.

India to see $700-bn investment in 4 yrs: Kamath

"Just to put in context, about ten years back near 1995-96, if the national investment reached 15-20 billion dollars a year, we thought that was a tremendous improvement... We have raised the bar higher for ourselves.

It is across all sectors, all areas where we see bottlenecks. There is nothing left out. If we see bottlenecks, this would mean that it needs to be funded," he said.

setAttribute doesn't always work in IE

now don't ask me please what does i mean by always........ :(

means some times it works and some time it don't

When calling the DOM method .setAttribute( attName, attValue ); in IE, there are several circumstances where it will not work.
Setting the "name" attribute does not work, the "colspan" & "rowspan" attributes for th and td tags does not work, the "frameborder" attribute on iframes does not work, nor the "cellpadding" or "cellspacing" attributes on table tags.

Setting any of the inline event attributes does not work either! therefore ALL of the following will not work:

obj.setAttribute( 'onblur', doSomething );
obj.setAttribute( 'onclick', doSomething );
obj.setAttribute( 'onchange', doSomething );
obj.setAttribute( 'ondblclick', doSomething );
obj.setAttribute( 'onerror', doSomething );
obj.setAttribute( 'onfocus', doSomething );
obj.setAttribute( 'onmousedown', doSomething );
obj.setAttribute( 'onmouseover', doSomething );
obj.setAttribute( 'onmouseout', doSomething );
obj.setAttribute( 'onmouseup', doSomething );
obj.setAttribute( 'onkeydown', doSomething );
obj.setAttribute( 'onkeyup', doSomething );
obj.setAttribute( 'onkeypress', doSomething );
obj.setAttribute( 'onload', doSomething );
obj.setAttribute( 'onsubmit', doSomething );
obj.setAttribute( 'onreset', doSomething );
obj.setAttribute( 'onunload', doSomething );
obj.setAttribute( 'on*', doSomething );


You also can not set the "class" attribute, nor the "for" attribute, or even the "style" attribute.

Example: ...


Known Workarounds: Well there are several, and each depends on which attribute you are trying to set. The following table indicates what you can use to workaround these bugs.



Attribute: Workaround

* class: Use "className"

* name: None

* type: "type" is readonly in IE

* cellpadding: Use "cellPadding"

* cellspacing: Use "cellSpacing"

* acceptcharset: Use "acceptCharset"

* frameborder: Use "frameBorder"

* readonly: Use "readOnly"

* maxlength: Use "maxLength"

* marginwidth: Use "marginWidth"

* marginheight: Use "marginHeight"

* noresize: Use "noResize"

* noshade: Use "noShade"

* defaultselected: Use "defaultSelected"

* defaultvalue: Use "defaultValue"

* accesskey: Use "accessKey"

* hspace: Use "hSpace"

* vspace: Use "vSpace"

* bgcolor: Use "bgColor"

* longdesc: Use "longDesc"

* colspan: Use "colSpan"

* rowspan: Use "rowSpan"

* valign: Use "vAlign"

* tabindex: Use "tabIndex"

* on*: Inline events can not be set in IE, attach event handlers instead




Example Workaround Code:


//set variable IE=true when User Agent known to be IE.
if(!IE){
obj.setAttribute( 'class', 'special' );
} else {
obj.setAttribute( 'className', 'special' );
}

IE caches your AJAX

So, you're doing all kinds of funky stuff with AJAX now, and you've come to notice in your testing that sometimes Internet Explorer is not really hitting your server, but instead caching your AJAX calls?! Even if you set the no-cache header!

Known Workarounds: Two. If you are calling a particular request repetitively, but are expecting different results, add a unique parameter to the request.


Example Workaround Code:


<script>
var url = 'http://www.example.com/dir/foo?param1=a¶m2=b';
//add a unique param to the request (adjust to suit)
url += '&guid=' + new Date().getTime();
</script>





Known Workaround: Second Option.
Set the full cache header information, not just the no-cache.


Example Workaround Code:


<!-- This example is using PHP -->
<?php
header("Pragma: no-cache");
header("Last-Modified: " . gmdate("D, d M Y H:i:s") . " GMT");
header("Cache-Control: post-check=0, pre-check=0", false);
header("Cache-Control: no-store, no-cache, must-revalidate");
?>

1208929639 is google?

browsers parse 10 digit numbers as IP addresses

Affects: IE6, IE7, Firefox

At first this appears to be a "feature", but when the consequences of this bug are thought through, it is just one more vector of attack for unwitting surfers to fall prey to.

If you click on the following link (the href is the same as the text you see), it
type 1208929639 in address bar

will take you to a web site! GOOGLE

http://1208929639/

Looks familiar?

First off, what are these urls? Well, if you take the IPv4 address of any domain, and convert each octet to hex, concatenate the hex value, then convert back to decimal, you'll get a 10 digit number.

As it turns out, IE & Firefox will handle this 10 digit number, resolve the IP Address, and navigate to it.

e.g. This blog post can be accessed by this URL (only in IE!)
browsers parses 10 digit decimal numbers as IP addresses


What this means, is that phishing scams, and any site that wants to lure you into downloading malicious software, now has yet another way to do so. It also means that any spam filtering software, or blacklisting software needs to handle roughly double the ammount of URLs in order to protect users!

(currently running tests on various browsers to determine the number affected)

Example:


//tracert www.google.com
// => 72.14.205.103
// => Hex
// 48.0E.CD.67
// 480ECD67=> Decimal
// => 1208929639
//Fake Label

Getting Query String Values In JavaScript

There are many ways to get the query string values (name-value pairs) out of the URL (location) of the current page. Many examples use the String::split() method to split the location on the "?", the "&", and the "=". This keeps breaking the URL up into smaller arrays that can eventually be used to grab the query string name-value pairs.


Here I am showing different method for Getting Query String Values In JavaScript.


var objURL = new Object();
window.location.search.replace(new RegExp( "([^?=&]+)(=([^&]*))?", "g" ),function( $0, $1, $2, $3 ){objURL[ $1 ] = $3;});



For Accessing above variable write this function which is written below :-

for (var strKey in objURL)
{
var myVariable = objURL[ strKey ];
}


This function is very nice for Getting Query String Values In JavaScript.

Thanks
Manoj Azad.

JsHttpRequest 5: cross-browser AJAX + file uploading

http://en.dklab.ru/lib/JsHttpRequest/



This article describes the JsHttpRequest (15kb) library (LGPL license) which elaborates data loading with AJAX (Remote Scripting) method. Here is a short list of its most interest features and differences from analogs.

* Cross-browser compatibility. Library works with IE5.0+, Mozilla 1.7+, Firefox 1.0+, Opera 7.20+, Safari ("+" means "in specified and newer versions"). By this token, code could work without ActiveX and XMLHttpRequest support (but if these capabilities are avalilable, they are used automatically). Cross-browser compatibility is guaranteed by the library's automatic testing framework.
* Support and "transparent" work with any character encoding (including any national). You may write your scripts in a usual way, library will take care about everything else.
* File uploads from user browser to the server without page reloading.
* Compatibility with prototype. Prototype is a very popular tool to help JavaScript programmer. It includes AJAX support and other features. Library JsHttpRequest could be used as its server part in PHP (after inclusion of a small compatibility module JsHttpRequest-prototype.js). Even so, all additional features of JsHttpRequest (cross-browser compatibility, file uploading support, work with national charsets etc.) are still available.
* Full support of PHP debug features. If server-side script fails on an error (including fatal error, e.g., call of undefined function), client-side script can handle it correctly and show diagnostics. Besides response data, it is passed the output flow of server-side script which contains PHP error messages.
* Multi-dimensional data structures exchange (JSON analog) in client request and server responce. At that, are used the standard PHP instruments — multi-dimensional associative arrays (request data avaliable at $_REQUEST, response data may be saved to $_RESULT), as well as JavaScript standard capabilities — nested objects and properties. No XML in the level of API: you work with "native" language variables.
* PHP session support using usual way.
* Optimal data loading method choosing (XMLHttpRequest, Microsoft.XMLHTTP, <SCRIPT>, <IFRAME>) depending on current browser. In particular, ability to load data from foreign hosts.
* Component-based code allows to manually cut off unneeded methods of data loading to shrink JsvsCript code size. E.g. ifyou do not plan to support AJAX file uploading, you may choose the version with XML and SCRIPT loaders only.
* Interface is compatible with XMLHttpRequest.
