Google maps api 3 with places DEMO works only in Chrome... why? - api

There's a lot of Google Maps API Places info on here already, but here's a demo which show a lot of what many people seem to be having problems with, sadly though it only works in Chrome (at least not in Firefox or IE).
http://gmaps-samples-v3.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/places/2012-may-hangout/search.html
Can anyone explain why? it has a lot of unnecessary things like animated dropping of markers, but has a really good example of the difference between google.maps.places.RankBy.DISTANCE; and google.maps.places.RankBy.PROMINENCE; presenting ordered markers and reasults in a table with type icons.

I just visited the link in your question, using IE8, and it seems to run fine:
What is the problem you are having in IE?

Pine-script optimization

In AmiBroker there is optimize option. It allows you to fine tune values for indicators or even any other parameters. Is there anything like that in pine script? couldn't find it easily using google.
No. Can't be done automatically yet on TV. Adding the feature is being considered though.
there are private chrome extensions. just a couple months ago there were some public versions but TV has started banning people and finding ways to shut down the extensions ability to properly see and feel the page

How to turn off Safari's prefetch feature?

Safari has a "feature" which preloads pages while you are typing in the url.
Now for most users this is indeed a feature, speeding up page loads. But for web developers it can cause trouble - especially when it automatically loads scripts (such as importers or background scripts) that you have used earlier but have no intention of running currently.
This happens under Safari 8.x but it is possible that this was also the case on older versions.
Also, note that this feature is distinct from "DNS prefetch" which is the only related explanation I have come across - I have disabled DNS prefetch and that did not solve this issue...
The answer is much simpler than I thought. :)

Google NoCaptcha ReCaptcha

If correct, Google introduced Google's NoCaptcha ReCaptcha on december 3th. More information can be found on their official blog.
After reading their story, they refer to their good old ReCaptcha site. Seemingly this has been renewed. So I created an account and started testing. However, I already stumble on two questions that don't seem to be answered on their own site. Google-ing results in old and mostly useless information about the "old" ReCaptcha module.
The thing is not responsive. This seems weird to me. I know I can make it responsive or use a framework or something to do so. But all the HTML / CSS is generated by the plugin itself. Is there some universal solution for this, or Am I missing something?
Sometimes clicking the checkbox is all that's needed, but often I still get the old misformed pictures that are still hard to read. In other words, sometimes it looks like nothing has changed. Is this normal, or is this thing not fully released yet?

dojox.mobile.view slow

when tapping just on the "Back button" it last 1-1.5secs (iOS 4-5 iPhones) seconds before it goes back. Is there anything I can do ?
I had a closer look and removed ALL bottlenecks in my code. Even when the view is empty, its unacceptable slow.
I also had a look in the dojo sources, its seems that dojo.setStyle and dojo.setClass is called a few hundreds times when moving in or out a view. I debugged this with a self baken mozilla browser and its true, dojo view changes involve a complete repaint/reflow of the entire dom tree, thats more than bad.
We spent now 3.5 months fulltime on a commercial project and the customer is not happy with the performance at all and I'am facing a little desaster.
I also saw that dojo prefers DOM manipulation instead of innerHTML and wants even stick to that. Are there any workarounds or utils within the DOJO framework to support innerHTML approaches ?
Looks, I need to rewrite the view class.
Any suggestions are welcome, guenter
Are you running an optimized build or from source? Any chance this is a file load/latency problem?
I'd recommend you take your comments to dojo-interest where the community and dojox.mobile maintainers are more likely to see it. You may also want to post some examples to demonstrate the performance problems you're seeing.

How can I go about automating the testing of the migration of local web apps from IE6 to IE8?

I have been researching this a wee bit and it seems to boil down to:
'Eyeball Mark 1'
The best tip seems to be the use of SuperPreview from Microsoft's Expression team.
If anyone has automated a way to go about this I would love to hear about it.
Also, I believe that SuperPreview requires a work around for a password protected app to work properly. There is a work around at MSDN Blog, but if anyone has come up with another way, could you share it with me please?
Thanks in advance!
Some products, like Telerik WebUI Test Studio, lets you build your test and play a movie with the results in different browsers (not sure about IE6 and IE8 support)
Others lets you compare bitmaps of screenshots of tests in one browser and the other. The problem is that the minimum 1-bit shift will result in an test error.
