IE8 compatibility and leaks links

Microsoft has their IE8 compatibility page here at http://www.microsoft.com/windows/internet-explorer/readiness/developers.aspx

There is a useful discussion in the forum at http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/iewebdevelopment/thread/772e4b07-29e1-4909-b77f-f61c503f9579

A long-standing resource is quirksmode.org at  http://www.quirksmode.org/dom/intro.html

David Hammond's webdevout.net shows no blog post since July 24, 2009 at http://www.quirksmode.org/dom/intro.html but still has a lot of information.

The wikipedia quirks_mode article at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quirks_mode is also useful.

Here are 2 links on Internet Explorer and memory leaks due to closures with circularities impeding GC:

At least msdn one page suggested by David Flanagan in the rhino book is now missing.

PHP nanoweb on Ubuntu

I was restarting the latest Ubuntu PHP nanoweb on my netbook when I saw a shell script error message.  A run through the file nanoctl in my /usr/sbin revealed a few issues - particular if trying to use the simple status option.  To make matters worse, the script is hard-coded with "lynx" as the browser name -  while my Ubuntu defaults to Galeon (but I prefer Epiphany.)

If you care to look over an alternative, I have a version with extension .sh over at aule-browser.com

The edited version is set for the Gnome Epiphany browser for linux - you may wish to edit  the BROWSER var. Note that the /usr/sbin/nanoweb file is what is commonly referred to as nanoweb.php

Like PHP programming, unix shell scripting sometimes can be a somewhat arcane art.
