Firefox architecture

I have been browsing through the Mozzilla source and have been impressed
at the level to which javascript decends. Clearly there is a lot of
javascript that ends up embedded in the binaries and not as stand alone
ASCII scripts. Anybody know how this works?

Well, how about checking www.mozilla.org, look at
http://www.mozilla.org/docs/
and in particular at the links about XUL and XPCOM. With Mozilla the
interface is not written as HTML scripted with JavaScript but as XUL
scripted with JavaScript.

The zipped version of Mozilla, rather than the pre-packaged installer,
ships with a free-standing Javascript interpreter. This is the Mozilla
package for building applications. It even comes with a library for
accessing the file system.

We've been developing a web site using 3-tier architecture for 18 months now. There is a common layer that defines the classes - using XML schemas. The data layer acts as a wrapper to 3 databases - SQL Server, Oracle and AS400. The business layer exposes web services which communicate with the front end, ASP.Net. All 3 tiers are on different boxes. This works well. Now I am leading a team to build a winforms app. I need some advice as

Does anyone know if ASP.NET 2.0 is going to incorporate "maintain scroll position on postback" in non-IE browsers like Firefox? This seems like an often requested feature on these newsgroups since the beta version of .NET. Microsoft heavily advertises it's .NET browser detection advantages, why not make some use of it and hope that Microsoft follows up their words with actions? as well as following up on their agreement from the...

Do CustomValidators run on FireFox and Netscape? If not, how do you run a client-side script for field validation, submit the form to ASP.NET when is passes validation, and then do your server-side processing? Thanks in advance.

Hello, IIS 6.0 server, .Net 2.0. I have a file download architecture which redirects file download requests to a custom server-side HttpHandler. The handler gets a stream over the file and "returns" the file via HttpContext.Response.OutputStream.Write. This works fine in IE, but with Firefox, I get different behavior: I see no "save as" dialog for the file download ("Always ask me where

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
