I have a script that should insert a youtube video into the page. But when I ran it, the video wouldn't show up. (The script inserts a number of things, and the video was the only thing not to appear) So, I open firebug, and check the DOM. It's not in there.
So, I type in "var node = document.create Element("object ");" to see what was going on. It then reports node as a function, but it still has all the DOM methods and properties (appendChild, firstChild, etc. still there.) I then, go ahead and create the node in Firebug, and insert it into the DOM. This time, it shows up in the DOM in Firebug, but still doesn't appear on the page.
I tested it in Opera, and it worked as expected.

without code its hard to say, but sounds like it isnt happening because of security permissions in these browsers (cross domain exploits is why this is usually not allowed)
In case anyone else has this problem, I figured it out.
I was appending the <object> to a node that was not already in the DOM. I simply rewrote my script to create and append the children after the parent node had already been inserted.

I found a few posts of people asking about insertCell()/insertRow() not
working in IE6 SP2, and a few others about getting "null is null or not
an object" errors, but no one posted a solution anywhere or noted this
tiny yet curious change in SP2.. so here it is:
In IE6 SP2 rows must be inserted into a tBody instead of a Table
directly, after that you may insert TDs into TRs any way you wish.
insertRow() and insertCell() work the same as...

I am getting some weird errors only in IE7, but not in FF2.0.0.8 or NN9. It even happens on this website when I click "Sign In". The error is:
"A Runtime Error has occurred."
"Line:xxx"
"Error: Object expected"
and Debug says: "Microsoft JScript runtime error: Object expected."

Alright, so generally I'm using document.createElement("IMG").... but, I've noticed something just recently that made me switch to "new Image()"
What I'm doing is creating a photo gallery of sorts, where i basically want to supply a total # of images, rows/cols max thumb/full image and let the script do the work. The solution I've opted for is to load the images once and change their size / position / visibility to show "thumb galleries" or...

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.
Here is my compilation command:
g++-12 -std=c++20 -Wnarrowing bit_field.cpp

Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
