Update on “Script error leaving page with applet tag” (jQuery)

Michael — Fri, 31 Oct 2008 21:10:25 +0000

After 9 months of waiting, there finally might be a fix for jQuery bug #2349: When you hide or remove a Java applet, you get a script error in Firefox. The impact was, that you could not really use jQuery together with Java applets. I’m really looking forward to jQuery 1.3.0!

Update on object property reordering in Google Chrome

Michael — Wed, 29 Oct 2008 12:26:24 +0000

Iterating over an objects properties can result in a seemingly random order, it’s always the same order in Chrome, but in a different order for other browsers. I posted this as bug #223 a couple of weeks ago. John Resig posted the same issue as ticket #883 a day later. It was confirmed in the meantime by the chromium developers and described as an expected behavior. Very funny.

First Google Chrome bug found

I just found my first bug in Chrome: If you iterate over object properties (using jQuery’s $.each()) and insert HTML generated inside that loop into the DOM, then that HTML appears in random order. Very funny. Might be a problem with threads or Chrome changes the order of object properties by itself:

Memory wasting Zend_Mail

I just wrote a small script to manage my mails… turns out that Zend_Mail uses some special trick that causes a fatal error:

Reading 3274 messages…

Fatal error: Out of memory (allocated 11534336) (tried to allocate 18446744073709551615 bytes) in /usr/share/php/libzend-framework-php/Zend/Mail/Storage/Mbox.php on line 198

That’s around 17179869183 TB of memory… to read 3274 mails… makes 5247363 TB per message… not bad
