IE6 duh?

urns out, IE doesn't like the script tags if they are using element minimization. I got the page rendering just as I intended by changing the tag to look like this:



Doing some research, I came across this post in theList by Eric Vitiello which clarifies this more. Apparently the DTD declaration for the script tag says , and the XHTML specs says (under Appendix C. 3):

Given an empty instance of an element whose content model is not EMPTY (for example, an empty title or paragraph) do not use the minimized form (e.g. use

and not

).

So, I guess this isn't really a bug in IE. I'd think instead, that this is a bug in the DTD itself. The script tag doesn't have to contain #PCDATA (in fact, I consider it graceful if it doesn't), and forcing it is, well, stupid.

For now, I am explicitly closing the script tag with a seperate closing tag, and everything seems to be working well. Does anyone have any idea about handling this better, preferably with minimized element closures

When do you need a pointer to a reference?

From C++ groups
> Why/when would someone need a pointer to a reference?

Never. A reference is another name for a real thing. A pointer can only
point to a real thing - it can't point to a name for a real thing.

References are often implemented as secret pointers, but it breaks the
language if you try to get a handle on this secret pointer - it is an
implementation detail.

If you meant a reference to a pointer, use this when you need something to
grab your pointer, point it to something else, and give the result back to
you. Consider a parser that reads statements written by the user:

WORD_TYPE getWord (char *&statement);

Each time you call this function it finds a word, returns its type, and
points the pointer off the end of the word.

VIM split

Vim viewport keybinding quick reference

:sp will split the Vim window horizontally. Can be written out entirely as :split .

:vsp will split the Vim window vertically. Can be written out as :vsplit .

Ctrl-w Ctrl-w moves between Vim viewports.

Ctrl-w j moves one viewport down.

Ctrl-w k moves one viewport up.

Ctrl-w h moves one viewport to the left.

Ctrl-w l moves one viewport to the right.

Ctrl-w = tells Vim to resize viewports to be of equal size.

Ctrl-w - reduce active viewport by one line.

Ctrl-w + increase active viewport by one line.

Ctrl-w q will close the active window.

Ctrl-w r will rotate windows to the right.

Ctrl-w R will rotate windows to the left.
