Oct 30 2010 7 Night Western (PART 2)

[TPKeller]

I am an application programmer and database administrator. Without boring you with the details there are certain aspects of web application programming that are not 100% compatible across all web browsers.

Yes, there are many ways to browse the web including Internet Explorer, Mozilla Firefox, Opera, Google Chrome, Apple Safari, to name a few.

Scripting languages like JavaScript are notorious for not being compatible across all browsers. Moreover, there are capability issues within the same browser depending on what version you are using.

Edit: To be fair it isn't a problem with JavaScript, but the way different browsers implement the Document Object Model... boring, snooze...

OK, enough of the boring stuff. The bottom line is it can be difficult to create a website that runs the same on all browsers and browser versions.

My educated guess is there is nothing wrong with your computer nor your Internet connection. It is that your current web browser doesn't play nice with the Tip Calculator website.

I hope this helps,

Jeff

Approaching 200,000 hits on the tip calculator web page, this is the first report of this type that I have heard, and I'm not exactly hard to get in touch with.

I have not personally used IE 8 yet, but according to my web stats, 41% of current visitors are using IE 8, so I really don't think that's the problem. I certainly would have heard something before now.

If you or the OP can identify any specific issues I need to address, please let me know.

But IE8 has the ability for the users to use whats called "Compatability View" to fix that for a particular web page. Thats what many users I assume would do. The downside is you have to take that step for each web page one might have problems with and each and every time they visit that web site. Too much work for me, too much of a hassel. And the fact that the web page now works since trying it first in Mozilla then uninstalling IE8 and reverting back to IE7, tells me the issue was in fact with IE8. I too have heard of lots of issues with IE8. Perhaps the problems only exist for those who upgrade to IE8 from IE7 and not those who purchased a computer with IE8 already the browers installed. (true IE8 and not an upgrade to it).

I have a slightly funny (hmmm. . . maybe ironic is the word) DU story to share . . .

In 2008 we stayed at the Boardwalk - we were leaving MK and got on the monorail to go to EPCOT - we were just sort of walking through to get back to our resort . . . so we were on the monorail, Linda was to my left and this couple to my right . . . I notice Linda has this odd look on her face so I ask her what is going on, she says, "I think I used to work with that woman next to you . . . " so I ask her the name and I say, "Donna?" and she says, "yes?" so I point to Linda and ask her if she remembers her. . . which she did! Turned out that she and her husband were also going on our cruise and Donna was one of the founders of DU! She said she is now sooo busy she hardly ever has time to even get on the Disboards anymore!

Small world but I wouldn't want to clean it!!

Ironic indeed! Small world isn't it!

That reminds me of last fall when we found 2 of DH's CoWorkers at the same Hotel as us un Kissimmee!! What are the chances of driving 24 hours away, and finding people from where you can from, at the same Hotel?? It was funny because when we checked in, DH noticed another Ontario License plate in the parking lot and made the comment, "So and So from work were vacationing down this way this past week to go to WDW, what are the chances..........NAHHHHH" And low and behold it WAS THEM!!

Small World indeed!

Disneyworld seems to bring out these "small world" moments! We've had several encounters with my husband's co-workers over the years. However, the strangest small world moment was 11 years ago - we were there with my parents, our son (6 months at that time) and my 91 yo grandmother (she is now 102!) At that time, she was still walking well, but we made her use a wheelchair so she wouldn't get too tired out. She was a little uncomfortable about using it, but we pointed out that she wouldn't be seeing anyone she knew other than us! She lives in a small town in North-central Illinois. I would guess the population is around 4000 people. THEN, as we were rolling her through the world showcase, someone suddenly calls out her name! Turns out it is her pharmacist (small town - of course she knows her pharmacist ). He was so happy to see her there and was all concerned that she was in a wheelchair!

Currently 102? Whats her secret?? I only wish I can live to see that age, as long as I'm still able to keep all my facalties!

Ditto! 102 = amazing! My great-grandmother was 96 when she passed and she worked until she was 95! She was a monogrammer, done on a hand worked monogram sewing machine....not the computer run ones they have now. She was an artist. I only wish I had inherited one tenth of her talent!

We have run in to neighbors and co workers over the years at Disney - not sure how that happens but it often does. A few years back when Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique was pretty new I decided to surprise our girls with the Hannah Montana Rock Star makeovers. Our then 5th grader was a bit less than thrilled with it but I told her not to worry, she would not see anyone and I promised not to use the pictures for our Christmas cards. Thought that would be fine. Imagine her shock when while in full costume, wig and Hannah makeup we bumped right in to a family from home and their 5th grade daughter in line at MK. Needless to say we immediately went to the bathroom and removed all traces of Hannah! She has not let me forget that one and she will be a Sophmore this year.

I got my FE and some goodies I ordered from Vista Print for FE gifts today! All around a stellar afternoon after a horrible morning!

 

[morgansmom2000]

Here it is. I was going to make my own, and had bought the fabric, but then I saw Grady'sMommy's work...So, I sent her my fabric (she returned so much of it!), and she made this with it. I have just enough talent to make a trick or treat bag for Morgan - She also embroidered her name on a square for me.

I it (of course, it's not very practical, I can only use it on Halloween cruises, but who cares?!).

 

[nenner1]

^^Wow! Awesome FE! Love it!

That is so cute! What a great idea getting your own material

I had a yard of each material, but I don't think she even used half of it.

 

[threeiscrazy]

Jennifer it looks great!

 

[tjbaggott]

Jennifer, I love your FE!! As for the pattern on the fabric, you'll just have to book some more Halloween cruises!!


And on another matter:

DS7 says to me today when I was discussing our Washington trip for this fall with him, "I hope there's no boats in Washington." I asked him why, and he said he doesn't want to go on a boat. I quized him some more about what he meant by "Boat", and he in fact said the "Disney Boat" LOL, UH OH!!! I have no idea what he was watching on Tv last night, I went to bed early and DH was in charge. But DS7 is saying he doesn't ever want to go on a boat again becasue he's afraid it will SINK. I told him, The Disney Ship would NEVER sink, but he's so far being firm. HMMMMMMM Now it will be VERY interesting to see his reaction at Sherrie's once he finds out the Big Surprise!!!!!!

 

[Grandma4ever]

Anyone on this thread besides me know who John Charles is?

If you love him as much as I do you will be happy to hear that there is a good chance he will be preforming on our cruise. I have never laughed so hard in my life. I am keeping my fingers crossed my info is correct and he will be onboard the second half of our cruise!!!
