links for 2009-02-26

  • I just discovered a new level of evil in IE's showModalDialog. Turns out if you have a link or form in the document loaded into the dialog, and that link/form changes the URL address, clicking the link or submit button will always open a new window instead of loading into the dialog. Unless you *don't* specify a target attrib on your link/url, and add a <base target="_self"> tag to your doc's <head>. By the dog, the god of the egyptians, I swear I'm in the wrong line of work.
