Emil is on Fire

Emil has been really active lately. Not only did he emulate canvas in IE, he also used it to create a slick charting control for WebFX.

On my end: Google is really awesome, San Francisco is the best city ever and my girlfriend is super sweet.

Yeah, Emil did a really nice job on the components. It is a pitty his articles about xmlHttpRequest (like the performance tests) are so hidden in his personal space. He might put them on WebFX so more people find them. I think they are valuable pieces of info for everyone.

Thanks Micha, I actually intend to revisit the xml http performance article, now that firefox 1.5 is out. Just updated the scripts for it a few days ago…

Oh no .. the F word. Well FF 1.5 is a mess. I just added this bug, and it is really freaky. I have added others also, but this .. oh my.

Emil is insane! The idea is awesome, but I experienced a lot of errors when I tested it.

Congrats for your girlfriend erik!

Cheers,

Micha, Mozilla1.7 isn’t doing anything better on that bug, so FF1.5 is certainly nor more ‘a mess’ than FF1.0.
And that bug really needs a minimal testcase (although it could be a duplicate).

Micha, I never thought anyone would say Firefox 1.5 is a mess. It is lot less messy than Mozilla 1.7.x and Firefox 1.0.x.
