Ye' old general discussion board. Basically, for everything that isn't covered elsewhere. Come here to shoot the breeze, shoot your mouth off, or whatever suits your fancy. This forum is not for asking programming related questions.
Just wanted to make a brief rant about something I think FF should implement.
Occassionally I'll stick alert() in a loop to test what's going on in a quick and dirty fashion. If you get your logic wrong and the alert keep firing there is no way to stop it. You can't even close the browser. Opera has a little check box to stop the script, but with FF the alert() just takes over the whole window. Grrr....
What I usually try to do is use the space bar to close the alert box, and at the same time try to hit alt-f4 to close the browser in the small time gap between the close of the previous box and the opening of the new one.
I like IE....but that infinite loop alert problem is a PITA for sure...
While on Ubuntu, I have no choice but to use FF or Opera...I must say I'm slowly growing a respect for Opera...it's a much better browser for me personally...
I think opera may be the best browser, but it implements a little *too* much functionality. Firefox is less bloated, also I'm a big fan of the idea that an oss browser would take over the marketshare.
