minmax.js – transparently adds CSS minimum and maximum sizes (min/max-width/height) for IEPC. Andrew also has a few other similar scripts

A COUPLE OF YEARS AGO I WAS TALKING WITH A LAW SCHOOL COLLEAGUE about cyberlaw and the people who study it. “I’ve always wondered,” he said, “why all the cyberprofs hate copyright.”
Howard Dean’s campaign at 251,823 members, announced along with double Time and Newsweek cover stories.
Hmm… it seems that when creating an image, Mozilla doesn’t update the height after changing the source, but after a reload it does. This is strange. I could just replace the offset subtractions with the static dimensions, but hopefully I can also find out what the proper behavior is supposed to be (or if it’s even specified).
The specs are unclear on the behavior of this, so I switched to the older DOM constructor so I could pre-declare width/height there. This incidentally breaks Safari corner rendering (assigning document.createElement(“img”).style properties work, but the JS engine just stops on Image.style properties – the Image object doesn’t inherit from the DOM2 Element object?)

Recently, as I’ve gotten back into doing JS/DOM development, I’ve begun wishing more and more for a real JavaScript IDE. Mozilla is partway there (Jesse’s bookmarks, the DOM Inspector, and Venkmann are great), there still some stuff that I’d really like:
- Object Browser – integrated with run-time watches/reflection, and with a comprehensive reference
- Library management – integrated w/ Object Browser
- BrowserCaps – flagging (a la TopStyle w/ CSS), cross-referenced w/ alternatives, bug-DB; inline auto-complete stuff would be neato
Is anyone still working on a ‘developer edition’ of Mozilla?

Lisa’s Daily Show clips are great (well, for someone like me who doesn’t watch TV). Steven Colbert’s take on the blacked out 9/11 report as conceptual art is pure genius.
