colSpan?

Posted in Technicalon Feb 16, 2006

I was programming for Internet Explorer today and found a bug. When trying to run code like this:

td = document.createElement("td");
td.setAttribute("colspan", 2);

IE doesn’t respect the column spanning. Instead, it should be

td = document.createElement("td");
td.setAttribute("colSpan", 2);

Yes, even though attributes are suppose to be case insensitve, they are, in this case

Converted all my SSL apps to Google App Engine. I didn't want to have to pay for my own SSL certificate any more, and App Engine allows for SSL sites with valid and recognized certificates (on their appspot.com domain) for free.
