Happy Birthday ! I hope you have a mega great, uber fantastic, ultra happy, lame adjective free day!

I got my Katamari Damacy soundtrack today. This is a great soundtrack! It is really quirky and fun, with lots of unique tunes. It reminds me of the Sakura Taisen Vocal Collections that came out several years back, which are lots of fun. You really should pick it up if you haven’t already…

As I mentioned before, I wrote an extensible and generic DHTML data grid that uses Javascript and some IE specific features to provide database updates/reads, easy to use canned validation, inline editing and navigation (similar to Excel) and a host of other client-side niceties that make the grid very fast to work with and require few post backs. As RJ is an IE only shop, I didn’t bother to make sure I wasn’t using anything IE specific.

I’ve been putting together some stuff for MechaPencil Publishing, and as part of that, I’ve been working out ways to do some of the neat things I did for the IE grid in a browser independent way. As these tricks might be helpful to others, I thought I’d document them. I’ll update this as I continue to solve these problems.
