The other day, I wrote a module for Drupal. Up to here, no problem. What I wrote required a small amount of Javascript to make a dropdown menu feature work. That worked just fine under Mozilla and FireFox, and even Safari & Konqueror.

When I tried with Internet Explorer, nope. Not working at all.

The function I was using goes like this:

Download a free copy of your C++ development environment! (Visual C++ v8.0)

Yes! Microsoft is doing the same thing as Linux: they offer their IDE for free with their fully compliant C/C++ compiler (as well as other bits if you are interested, I only want C++ on my end!)

At this time, the link is like this: ... (does not work anymore...)

It may require a bit of digging to get older versions but they should remain available. (but who wants the old stuff anyway?!)

I don't have links anymore and the one I had before doesn't work... it make still be available, but you'll have o

After about 2 hours of search, I finally got it. All the docs were telling me do this:

	var f = document.getElementById('myform');
	f.action = url;
	f.submit;
				

And it did not work. I was getting an error. So thinking that this 'action' is an attribute I used f.setAttribute('action', url);. And that worked great with Sea Monkey, FireFox, etc. but one day we tried under Internet Explorer. That one was not working somehow. Reading some notes on the net, indeed, setAttribute('action', url)is no good under Internet Explorer. But f.action = url;generates an error?!

After ...

MS-Windows is extremely flexible. So one of the things you can do is delete your Start menu. It's a good way to prevent people from starting the "wrong" software. Now, without that menu and a few icons, what do you do?!

The Start -> Run menu is accessible using a Window key (held down) and the R key (W-R). This will open the Run window in which you can run all sorts of programs. It is a console reduce to its minimum! (Invented by Microsoft, thank you!)
