Browser zoom and Flash

I had this very weird issue: there was a lot of whitespace around a flash movie for no reason.

The blue is generated by firebug when inspecting the object element.

After checking all the styles and the swfobject code, we found the issue: the browser zoom level was not at 100%.

So if you ever have the feeling that there is a whitespace bug in your flash movies, first check the browser zoom level.

UpdatePanel destroys jQuery

Posted by Cedric Vandewoude | .NET |

Sweet you have all kind of cool jQuery on your page (overlayers, tooltips, hovers, …). Then you decide to add an asp:UpdatePanel but after the Update event all your scripts are broken.

We can fix this by executing all code within jQuery(document).ready() everytime the Update event is triggered:

<asp:UpdatePanel runat="server" ID="myUpdatePanel">
<ContentTemplate>
<!-- other code -->
</ContentTemplate>
</asp:UpdatePanel>

<script type="text/javascript">
Sys.WebForms.PageRequestManager.getInstance().add_endRequest(function () {
   documentReady(); //a function which contains all the code within jQuery(document).ready()
});
</script>

Surface 2.0 for developers

Microsoft has presented a new toy at CES: Microsoft Surface 2.0.

About a year ago I followed an interesting surface training. Back then I also wrote a blog post on my adventure. I was very exited about this toys, because that what it is for a developer! So it did not take long before I created a first application for the LBi client afternoon. It was very interesting to see people interact with my application on a real table:

Some of the features I like about the new toy:

  • Slim: there is actually free space under the tabletop!
  • You can also mount it on a wall.
  • HD: your app will look very appealing on 40-inch 1080p LCD HD screen.
  • No big cameras anymore: every pixel of the screen acts as a camera (Pixel Sense Technology).
  • Better OS: Vista is replaced by Windows 7 Professional 64-bit.
  • New hardware: 2.9GHz AMD Athlon II X2 processor and a Radeon HD 6700M.
  • Cheaper: $ 7600 (more…)
