Correct behavior?
I've inherited some code that uses DHTML to display columns and rows. Each row alternates the background color. With IE, if the column value is empty, a background is still painted. With Netscape and Mozilla, if the column value is empty the background is not painted. Which is the correct behavior?

Yes, but: Is Mozilla 1.0, i.e. ready for prime time? NS thinks so, Mozilla obviously doesn't. And did you pay $$$ for Mozilla? Nope, you haven't (at least I hope you haven't :-) ). Basically you get something for nothing, so how can anybody complain? (Don't get me wrong, please *do* complain about stuff that doesn't get fixed or mozilla.org politics, or else it won't change) Christian

We need janitors
This is a "think piece" :-) This is abridged from this week's Linux Weekly News (http://lwn.net). Do we need something like this? Having three patches waiting for review and another three for super-review, how can we lower the barrier to entry for contribution while maintaining code quality? Can we remove the sr= restriction for all whitespace and comment-only changes? Can we give people checkin rights on the understanding that they only check in such changes? Polish is getting more and more important as we approach 1.0, and the core developers just don't have time. Ideas welcomed... "The last few months have seen a flurry of activity from a group of developers known, informally, as "kernel janitors." As suggested by their name, the janitors make it their job to clean up messes in the kernel code base. Recent contributions include fixing a mass of erroneous user space pointer dereferences, straightening out inconsistent treatment of kernel locks, and even hundreds of spelling fixes. This project raises an interesting question. The need for janitorial work is reasonably clear. Any large body of code is going to have its dark, dusty areas in need of a serious sweeping, and the kernel is a larger and more complex body than many. And the janitors have noted an important point: an error pattern that is found in one section of code has a high likelihood of recurring in other places. Once a particular type of mistake has been found, it makes great sense to go looking for instances of the same mistake elsewhere. This is essentially the same approach as that used by the OpenBSD team to root out security problems before they are exploited. In fact, janitorial work can be a good entry path for aspiring kernel hackers. Performing major surgery on the kernel and getting the changes past the gatekeepers can be an intimidating prospect; small and obvious bug fixes are a much easier start. And they can lead to bigger things: The organization of the janitors can be seen as another sign of "growing up" in the Linux community. As the kernel grows and evolves, organizations develop around it to keep things clean and ensure the quality and stability of the code base. At some point, the kernel may even have an organized patch management scheme, regression tests, and other tools that many development projects have taken for granted for some time. The kernel, meanwhile, is far from the only large development project in the free software community. No doubt, many other projects should look at the kernel janitors organization and consider setting up something similar. The benefits, in terms of improved code and a better supply of new hackers, could be both large and immediate."
Sidebar is transparent to X server
Hi, I've been running the Linux nightly builds and for about the past month the sidebar on my navigator and mail windows (under "bookmarks") has been full of X garbage. I gather this is a known bug on the ATI rage card but it also occurs on my Diamond Viper 770D AGP PCI video adapter with 16Mb of SGRAM (NVidia RIVA TNT2 chipset). My US$0.02, Charlie

No code has changed, but it works now. I have no idea why. The rest of the
note was typed before I tried it again.

I don't think it's a javascript problem. It may be the way IBM Enterprise
Information Portal forwards you
to it's dynamic pages. The checkFields() code gets called, as I've hit it
when entering invalid data.
When submit is called, the browser tries to read the current directory (a
href="") which is not allowed.
I've removed the angle brackets to try to keep viewers from running the
code.
META content="MSHTML 5.00.2920.0" name=GENERATOR
...
/script
form action="./logon.jsp" name="form" method="post"
INPUT TYPE="HIDDEN" NAME="action" VALUE=""
...
TD align=middle colSpan=2 width="100%"
a href="" onClick="if(checkFields()){ submit(); return false;} else return
false;"img src="./images/LogInButton.jpg" height=27 width=80
border=0/a
a href="" onclick="reset(); return false;"IMG src="./images/ClearButton.jpg"
height=27 width=80 border=0/A
a href="" onClick="actionlogout(); if(checkFields()){ submit(); return
false;} else return false;"img src="./images/LogOffButton.jpg" height=27
width=80 border=0/a
If everything works well, the logon jsp's HTML ends up being:
