SourceID. Phil Windley mentioned SourceID in his blog. It's worth a look.

JUnit Refactoring. Apparently these guys refactored JUnit.

HTML Entity table: I found a great place to find entity values for markup in HTML. Of course you could also use Unicode, but not all the character sets are supported in any browser.

Enabling WebFace scripts in Netscape.

I got this from Dave Cline discussing how to enable scripts to work with Netscape.

Enabling xdomain scripting in Netscape prefs files

netscape.security.PrivilegeManager.enablePrivilege("UniversalBrowserRead");

This line (found in the XmlWrapper.js), used to allow xdomain resource access, may cause a security alert if:

  1. the script executing has not been signed
  2. OR the script is not running off of the local file system
  3. OR your prefs files have not been modified per the instructions below

For all users open up the following file: C:\Program Files\Netscape7\defaults\pref\all.js

Find or add this line: pref("signed.applets.codebase_principal_support", true);

(this line may exist and you should set the attribute to true [from false])

OR for your user identity In --- C:\Documents and Settings\dcline\Application Data\Mozilla\Profiles\default\, you'll find a strangely named directory (unique to each box) - in there you'll find prefs.js

Add this line: user_pref("signed.applets.codebase_principal_support", true);

Caveat: "Note that codebase principals are meant for use during development and debugging only. By setting codebase_principal_support to true, you are weakening the security of the browser by allowing unsigned scripts to enable privileges. But that's up to you."
