Interesting Things

  • There's an IE PNG transparency bug fix as a plugin for jQuery. It looks fairly complete, with more coverage than many others out there and the usage is trivial (once installed):

    <script type="text/javascript">
      $(document).ready(function(){ 
        $(document).pngFix(); 
      }); 
    </script>
    

    The major downside so far: it scales background images.

  • Rails Bug:

    In a failing/rolled back transaction, those ActiveRecord objects that were created prior to the exception still have IDs and respond false to object_name.new_record? (which would seem to indicate that a record for the object has been saved).

    For more info, here are a couple bug tickets.
