Yesterday 30/06/2009, one of the most famous internet browser, and my favourite browser, released a new version 3.5 and becomes one of very first browser supports HTML 5 <video> and <audio> tag.

Following is the new features in FF 3.5 release note.

    * Support for the HTML5 <video> and <audio> elements including native support for Ogg Theora encoded video and Vorbis encoded audio. (Try it here!)
    * Improved tools for controlling your private data, including a Private Browsing Mode.
    * Better web application performance using the new TraceMonkey JavaScript engine.
    * The ability to share your location with websites using Location Aware Browsing. (Try it here!)
    * Support for native JSON, and web worker threads.
    * Improvements to the Gecko layout engine, including speculative parsing for faster content rendering.
    * Support for new web technologies such as: downloadable fonts, CSS media queries, new transformations and properties, JavaScript query selectors, HTML5 local storage and offline application storage, <canvas> text, ICC profiles, and SVG transforms.

I have already downloaded and installed the new version, to be honst, you cannot really tell any different, and there are only few HTML 5. The Video Bay may be the most popular one because of the success of its founder TPB.

TinyMCE IE 8 usability issue

by Jesse 12. June 2009 09:06

I am a big TinyMCE fan, and moved from FCKEditor years ago due to its light-weight, fast and compability with different browsers. But recently found a usability issue when using its browsing server functions, the popup browsing window is behand TinyMCE windows. I though it was something wrong with my custom image browser, but it is actually happening on its demo site.

I am hoping TinyMCE developers can fix it asap.

 

Bug is reported on https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&aid=2805302&group_id=103281&atid=635682

 

update:

It looks like developing team not interesting the bug reported. I found a work around by enabling inlinepopup plugin. Basic it makes the TinyMCE popup windows always on the top of parent windown, same to showmodal method.
