Just an FYI for anyone using the “application/xhtml+xml” content type on their site or web app. If you try to insert a piece of HTML that isn’t valid XHTML, you will get the following error: uncaught exception: [Exception… “Component returned failure code: 0x80004003 (NS_ERROR_INVALID_POINTER) [nsIDOMNSHTMLElement.innerHTML]” nsresult: “0x80004003 (NS_ERROR_INVALID_POINTER)” location: “JS frame :: https:/example.com/jquery.js :: anonymous […]
I’ve been using Twitter for the last couple of weeks, mostly to see what the fuss was about and to see how/if I’d use it. Turns out, I do use it in two ways. First, I use it as a news source. Many of the major tech news (eg @techmeme) and main stream news sites […]
