Convergence is something we talk about in this space from time to time and today is one of those times. But it's not convergence of protocols and standards that I want to mention today. Instead, it's a convergence of two of the concepts that intrigue me as they offer a very good ration of reward to risk when combined.

A Nifty Trick

A Nifty Trick 10/28/2003 11:08 PM

I have a nifty trick I wanted to share, since I think Web designers might find it useful when making reductions of bugs to send to browser developers. Basically I had this bug I was working on where content would sometimes shift too far to the right in Safari (don't worry, this bug isn't in 1.0). The bug was timing-related, and it only occurred intermittently when you reloaded the page.

The bug would only happen if layout occurred at a particular time, and usually this happened when a script was stalled loading long enough for the browser to decide it needed to show the user what it had so far.

If a script stalls, it's blocking the parsing of the rest of the content, so if a layout does occur, you're basically guaranteed that you're going to lay out the content of the page exactly up to the opening script tag and no more.

The bug in question would only happen if Safari had to do a layout before the script had loaded. Maciej (the JS guru on our team) came up with a clever idea: instead of pointing the script at an external resource, just make the script do something that would force a synchronous layout. Then you could basically construct test cases that made layout happen at precise chokepoints that you set up yourself! How cool is that?

A trick that works with both Safari and Mozilla is to try to access a property like offsetHeight, so here's an example:

<script>var v = document.body.offsetHeight;</script>

The layout engine basically has to lay out in order to give you a decent answer, so the handy little snippet above can be inserted anywhere in a document to force the layout of a page up to that point!

Armed with this trick I was able to easily fix the bug, since I now had a test case that demonstrated the problem 100% of the time. Thanks, Maciej!

Here's a Nice Mozilla / Phoenix Trick:
Just One

Here's a Nice Mozilla / Phoenix Trick:
Just One 12/18/2002 07:04 AM
Here's a Nice Mozilla / Phoenix Trick: Just One Here's a nice trick for web developers. Its not rocket science at all but its certainly helpful. All (well at least folks like me) of us have too many browsers open. This makes it hard to know which browser is open to a Blog, which browser is open to Slashdot and which one has the web application you're working on. What I do is save Internet Explorer for blogging and content I'm reading / researching, Mozilla for development tools like PhpMyAdmin and Phoenix for what I'm testing. This makes my ALT+TAB switching between windows very easy -- I just look for that one icon for what I'm testing or the tool I need instead of trying to "Step right up. Pick an Internet Explorer icon and you have a 1 in 10 shot of getting the right one". (Replace 10 w/ the average number of IE windows you have). Note: This could also be very useful on OS-X where the implementation of ALT+TAB is brain damaged. At least brain damaged in my opinion. I suspect Jeremy who has vented on this same topic would like this trick. Just three browsers and you can always ALT+TAB directly to at least one or two of them.
