[13:04:35 EDT(-0400)] <jessm> breeze looks unusable...
[13:04:43 EDT(-0400)] <jessm> i think we're all having issues getting in

[13:23:29 EDT(-0400)] <lessthanzero> I think I had something scheduled, let me get back to you?

[16:10:23 EDT(-0400)] <ecochran> colinclark and jacobfarber: On styling for IE6... there is another option that I've chatted with Gonzalo about and that is the rather brilliant IE7.js technique that fixes IE6 CSS through one single javascript file
[16:10:35 EDT(-0400)] <ecochran> You only need to add it for IE6
[16:10:38 EDT(-0400)] <ecochran> it's great
[16:11:02 EDT(-0400)] <ecochran> it even fixes the serial class problem that we were discussing a few weeks ago
[16:11:26 EDT(-0400)] <colinclark> Dean Edwards wrote it, right?
[16:11:39 EDT(-0400)] <ecochran> yes
[16:11:48 EDT(-0400)] <colinclark> Yeah, I remember looking at it quite awhile ago.
[16:12:02 EDT(-0400)] <ecochran> the problem with it for our stuff is that it could mess up any of the environments that we try to play in
[16:12:03 EDT(-0400)] <colinclark> Sounds nice. I haven't had a chance to try it out.
[16:12:12 EDT(-0400)] <colinclark> hmm
[16:12:25 EDT(-0400)] <jacobfarber> has anyone had a chance to try it out?
[16:12:26 EDT(-0400)] <ecochran> Eric Meyer and I had a short chat about it at An Event Apart
[16:12:29 EDT(-0400)] <ecochran> he's a fan
[16:12:38 EDT(-0400)] <ecochran> I haven't used it myself... but I've been tempted
[16:12:49 EDT(-0400)] <ecochran> after all IE6 isn't going to get worse...!
[16:14:09 EDT(-0400)] <ecochran> I'm going to leave my html>body hack in the Uploader.css file for now. It's pretty tried and true
[16:16:28 EDT(-0400)] <colinclark> It's certainly something to seriously look at.
[16:17:09 EDT(-0400)] <ecochran> Oh, there's an IE8.js file now that makes IE7 and IE6 behave like IE8... that seems sketchy
[16:17:20 EDT(-0400)] <ecochran> I hadn't looked at Dean's repo in a while
[16:17:27 EDT(-0400)] <ecochran> http://code.google.com/p/ie7-js/
[16:19:34 EDT(-0400)] <jacobfarber> ecochran, this is amazing
[16:19:53 EDT(-0400)] <ecochran> ie7.js?
[16:20:04 EDT(-0400)] <ecochran> jacobfarber: ^
[16:20:05 EDT(-0400)] <jacobfarber> yes
[16:20:10 EDT(-0400)] <jacobfarber> never saw this before
[16:20:11 EDT(-0400)] <ecochran> pretty cool
[16:20:21 EDT(-0400)] <jacobfarber> you just drop it in and watch the magic?
[16:20:30 EDT(-0400)] <ecochran> that's the idea
[16:21:02 EDT(-0400)] <ecochran> I should see if it fixes the particular bug that I'm working on since it's a little obscure and it has to do with the interaction between JS and CSS
[16:21:09 EDT(-0400)] <jacobfarber> incredible....
[16:21:39 EDT(-0400)] <ecochran> oh wow! it does max-height... OK, I'm going into test mode
[16:44:51 EDT(-0400)] <ecochran> ie7.js brings back a bug that I fixed a long time ago, which was that when switching from scrolling to non-scrolling mode the rest of the files in the list disappear!
[16:45:12 EDT(-0400)] <ecochran> oh well, it was only an experiment... and not necessarily a failed one
[16:59:05 EDT(-0400)] <ecochran> jacobfarber and colinclark: OK, seems that there are some issues with dynamic manipulated objects and ie7.js
[16:59:24 EDT(-0400)] <ecochran> I haven't really gotten to the bottom of it and I think that there are more important things to play with for now
[16:59:24 EDT(-0400)] <jacobfarber> no good?
[16:59:42 EDT(-0400)] <ecochran> well, it wasn't happy when I added files to the filequeue
[16:59:44 EDT(-0400)] <jacobfarber> thats a shame
[16:59:47 EDT(-0400)] <ecochran> it never updated the height
[17:00:00 EDT(-0400)] <colinclark> drag
[17:00:08 EDT(-0400)] <ecochran> there is a little bit of discussion on the web about adding calls in code to refresh ie7.js
[17:00:21 EDT(-0400)] <ecochran> but I was running out of patience or blood sugar
[17:00:28 EDT(-0400)] <ecochran> and blood sugar
