Though this is an old thread, I wish to correct this statement about Firefox as it is totally false. Firefox, along with Opera, are the most standards compliant browsers on the planet right now while IE, all versions, are nine years behind web standards. It's lead developer, Chris Wilson, stumbles over himself apologizing for IEs shortcomings...

I may be way off here but I like to philologize anyway. Recently I've been learning about Java Generics. Then I got to thinking about how object databases haven't cought on.

What exactly is the Component Object Model in regards to compilers and code? I know the textbook definition, but I'm not sure what it actually does and how it works. Is it a library of classes, or a windows service... or something else entirely? How exactly does COM interact with OLE, OLE Automation, ActiveX, and COM+? When I open up a .ocx...

All this stuff is making my head spin. Are there any really good books on it?

I've been running some test on Safari and research as well. I've found it has many security flaws. Am I the only one that sees that Apple's attempt to compete against IE can be risky for users and their "security"?

Why would you ever want to create a button dynamically? A button seems like a pretty concrete thing to have in an application; it requires you to implement code that handles its events....and usually we want a button to perform a specific task (really I can't think of a case where this doesn't happen). So why would anyone want to create a...
