We recently came across an issue when creating a site with SSL plugged in that in Internet Explorer we were getting the good ol' "This page contains both secure and nonsecure items." popup. It took us a good long while before we finally realised what it was... Fancybox!
Ever been vexed when Flash seems to think you're using a US keyboard layout, only when it's embedded in a page?
We came across the issue while building sites that require users to input an email address; when using Firefox, the @ character arrived in Flash as a " quote mark. After a little more testing it turned out, regardless of your setup, a transparent Flash movie in Firefox will always receive keyboard input as if from a US keyboard.
So (here in the UK) our @ and " characters get swapped around. Indeed, it seems that Flash embedded on a page with the wmode parameter set to transparent has been giving Flash developers headaches with text input for many a moon.
It's not just the Firefox @ mix-up either, but rather than me reiterating the specific issues, why not read about them and get a handy ActionScript 2 / JavaScript workaround here.
Well, I recently needed an AS3 solution to the problem, and converted astgtciv's AS2 version to meet my needs.
So here it is, released under a Creative Commons licence (as was the original)
It seems that Adobe are aware of the issue, but as yet there's no official solution.
This has apparently been fixed in Flash Player 10.1 - beta out now.
I think I've discovered a pretty big bug in Opera browser when testing client-side XSLT capabilities of different browsers.
Steps to reproduce:
This is really frustrating because I've found that most of the other browsers are doing a good job with XSLT these days.
