fighting IE

well, lets start that IE is not a browser, as in just a web browser with a web kit, its more, like the SP optimizations and other programs you can build into it. that could be great if not that MS wants to dedicate it to web browsing too.

so any1 that tried to build a nice page will understand this:http://funny-pics-fun.com/wp-content/uploads/Demotivational-Posters-Internet-Explorer-6.jpg
its about 6 but relevant forever

anyway this proj i really had to fight it, and its not fun :(

simplest solution to most situations where it just look great everywhere and IE just MUST move it aside a few pic is to make another IE only css file, and load it after the main
<!--[IF IE]><link  rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="/Style%20Library/Nifgashim/Styles/IE.css"><![endif]-->

you can put there other solutions i will mention as well.

Problem: anchor hovering (a:hover), and hovering in general doesnt work!
i found that this problem is caused when you use floaters in your page, meaning that your element or one of its parents id a floater (has css float:somehing).
that horrible since today we have responsive designs and its all float based ?!
anyway i found that changing the elements prop position to relative solves the problem.

Problem: you want an empty span or element with only background image.
so u use the wonderful &nbsp; - but in IE it doesnt work. the only solution i found is to put a nested element with no opacity, like this:
<span class="hereWeWantBG">
<![IF !IE]>&nbsp;<![endif]>
<!--[IF IE]><span class="IEInvisability">content</span><![endif]-->
</span>

.IEInvisability{-moz-opacity: 0.00;opacity: 0.00;filter: alpha(opacity=00);display:inline-block;}
if memory serves you only need the filter prop, but this is copied from another element where i wanted it to be with no opacity at all so test it. also yes you need it to be inline-block.

Problem: yes IE no IE in html - answer as above.

OverTheWire[.com] Natas Walkthrough - JUST HINT, NO SPOILERS

game portal: http://overthewire.org/wargames/natas/ PASSWORDS for each level are stored in /etc/natas_webpass/natasX I made this walkthrough for people like me, i needed some help, but didnt want the spoiler, so here i will give you all the information needed to pass each level, yet not the solution. For levels needed custom web request i made a different post for powershell and javascript  with how-to's, since is a piece of learning for itself, and also for those of us that play at work and have only powershell at their hands. Although its not a complete spoiler there, its quite most of the solution so try yourself 1st. Natas The Natas game is from basic to advances web hacking. Every few levels is about whole new exploitation (with some harder ones doing comeback later), so a lot of learning. If you're new, you're the reason i am writing so much even for the 1st level, just please google EVERY topic you see, since in the following levels i assume you know the ...

Asp.Net Ending Response options, Response.End() vs CompleteRequest()

this blog is for any1 who get the ThreadAbortException when caling Response.End(), and then tried the other options such as HttpContext.Current.ApplicationInstance.CompleteRequest() and found out that there was no replacement. i'll start with the bottom line: if you want to stop right now your response and send it as is you dont have any other option other than Response.End(), period and it's the right thing to throw that EX in that case. the answer is its because there is the "HTTP pipeline" and the "Asp.Net pipeline", and CompleteRequest() cuts the HTTP pipeline but not the Asp.Net one so everything that is from handlers forwars (including all page events) continues but your part, the asp one, stays in your hands so that no information will be lost, so ur suppose to manage your code currectly, since information lost is really a bad thing, although in most cases we use Response.End() we know what we are losing and we want it. see this short article ab...
