Ignite NM 2

Saturday, August 8th, 2009

The last Ignite was so. much. fun.!  So let we’ll do it again.  We’re looking for presenters who are passionate about a topic about would like to talk about it for 5mins.  Yep, just 5mins.  Ignite is fast paced, light, and a lot of fun.  

Ignite NM in Albuquerque was a great success, many thanks to all the great presenters.  Ignite NM dealt a lot with technology heavy subjects.  Technology is great, believe me I’m a geek through and through.  But we are looking to having more variety in topics for the next Ignite NM.

Have an idea you want to talk about?  Want to come, please RSVP?  See more info ignite-nm.com

ie_errorSo IE 7 doesnt like if you have a script tag anywhere in your page except: in the head, as the first elements, or last elements of the body tag.  

OR most of the time if you have your script in a window.onload event, or the jQuery version $.ready().  I’ve seen some people saying this has happened on a number of different scripts, including google maps.  This isnt a big deal, because in most if not all cases their is an easy solution.  But this is still odd, unexpected behavior from IE.  Something that Firefox and Safari have no issues with.

Moral of the story is if you get the error “internet explorer cannot open the internet site”, check your script tags.  remove them one by one, and find why IE is choking on them.
